PM Podcasts
(2026 Edition)
Five podcasts anchor a PM's listening list: Lenny's Podcast, Acquired, How I Built This, Masters of Scale, and The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish. They sharpen context on strategy, growth, and decision-making rather than craft — the specific "how do I write a PRD" skills that listening alone can't teach, which is why pairing episodes with notes matters.

FAQ
Are podcasts actually useful for PM learning?
Useful for context, less useful for craft. You won't learn how to write a PRD by listening — but you will learn how senior PMs think about strategy, growth, and team building. Pair podcasts with journaling or notes, otherwise the lessons evaporate by the next episode.
