I'm a marketer and podcast lover. I've been listening to The BeanCast for eight years without fail. Every week Bob brings on smart guests from all walks of advertising, marketing, and public relations. The topics are timely and informative, the discussion is lively, and you will walk away having learned something every time. High quality podcast here, which is why it consistently appears on top marketing podcast lists. P.S. The sponsors are neat too, from healthy chocolate to video conferencing software to tech hygiene sprays.

I start off my commute every week with this podcast. Bob brings on some amazing guests from across the marketing spectrum. I always feel as though I am primed and ready for what is going on in the industry when I get into the office after listening.

Bob & his guests give me a great perspective on what media, research, PR & marketing types talk about, so I'm more informed. Makes me, if not a better creative, a more informed one.

Loving this podcast. Episode topics are interesting, the content is incredibly helpful, and the episode length is perfect. Keep up the great work, Bob.

Awesome podcast if you're interested in content marketing with a unique and interesting perspective

If you’re looking for endless, babbling rhetoric go someplace else. This is a no-holds barred approach to marketing that only Bob can deliver. I just want to go back on the show when it’s a topic that doesn’t make my head swim (big data?! hello.. I only know about big hair and attitude…).

This is a must listen for anyone interested in marketing. Bob has a formula that hits that magic intersection of informative and entertaining! I laugh and learn every single time. The panel always includes top notch well respected marketing professionals. However, I'm still confused on if Saul Colt or Oreo invented real time marketing :)

A bit of a rant and a rave at times, but always tearing into issues of day, be they tech, marketing, or ridiculous tech/marketing. Much better than Six Pixels, but not as enticing as cat scratch chat. Seriously I send my friend pictures of cats, the four legged type - makes her laugh. Would have have know about this amaaaazing service without The Bean Cast!

I love the panel approach and the topics are great. But Bob, please make your guests drink a glass of water before your show. I won't name names, but when I have earbuds in, I'd rather not hear somebody's smacky saliva when I hear them talk.

Listening to the Beancast is the best way for me to jump start my week with great insights into what is happening in the digital marketing world. If you are thinking about downloading this podcast in the words of Nike "Do it"

I only listen to a handful of stellar marketing podcasts, The BeanCast, is one of those shows. Each week Bob brings together a strong panel of knowledgable guests. I always love how he holds the show together keeping his guests on track. Bob's own expertise and opinions are also highlighted in each episode. Subscribe!

Every week I know I can count on the most important and interesting topics to be covered and dissected. The guests are always of the highest caliber, and the discussion is lively and honest. This cast should be part of every marketers routine.

The BeanCast made up of the insightful Bob Knorpp and the cast of smart marketers who grace his Podcast, is a weekly must listen for me. I feel like I can count on some of the most thoughtful commentary on branding, marketing and technology. I also listen to a few really good technology podcast such as This Week In Startup but this Podcast gives you a different angle - more of a user/utilitarian angle. As founder of Lovelastchance a non-profit start-up I certainly mop up all the marketing help I can get.

Drip by drip, these marketing discussions will sink in and have an effect on how you look at your business. I don't tell a lot of people about this podcast because I don't want my competitors listening. It's that good.

Simply amazing. After finding this podcast I listen to one episode and I was hooked. I can't wait for the next episode week after week. a great addition to my routine.

Listening to Beancast is part of my weekly routine. I never miss an episode.

Great marketing topics that are groundbreaking

I heard about The BeanCast after listening to Marketing Over Coffee with John Wall, who's made a few appearances on The BeanCast. I couldn't be happier that I downloaded it! The commentary is awesome. All of the content is very recent and relevant. I like hearing the perspective of seasoned marketers compared to my own opinions because I feel validated sometimes. Other times, it helps me think differently and see another perspective i hadn't through of before. Very insightful and very fun, can't wait for more episodes - keep up the great work, Bob!

If you want to stay up to date with all your marketing junk there is no place better than the BeanCast. Smart, funny, informative, provocative talk on some of the most interesting topics every week. The regular panelists combined with the heavy hitters make this one podcast NOT to miss.

If you have any interest in anything to do with marketing, this is the place for you. Bob does a fantastic job bringing in powerhouses of knowledge to fill the airwaves with detailed discussions on marketing. It is great to listen to someone who is passionate about marketing and his podcast. Bob, keep up the great work!

stay for the funny and smart people who make this podcast a 5* show

What can I say other than I love this cast. If your not subscribed, then do it now!

Concise at an hour +, extraordinarily well-prepared, and always informative and highly entertaining, this is my primary source for the story and analysis of the new marketing landscape.

This is the all time best "Interview The Experts" marketing show around. Quite funny in various ways like; I am not answering you funny, pass the buck to other guest funny, you don't want our answer funny and the topic train derails funny. However, it is serious stuff worth listening to. -fairuse

This is the best marketing podcast available right now. The BeanCast is like the This Week in Tech of marketing.

Of all the podcasts that I listen to, this is the only that I truly look forward to each week. Amazing guests and host. Timely topics and thought-provoking discussions. Usually go back and listen a second time. It is really that good!

The host, Bob Knorpp, is a class act. He delivers the show with such finesse and professionalism. Even if you're not a marketer, you will still find this show to be fun and entertaining, as well as informative and interesting. Give the show a listen, if only to hear Bob's silky smooth voice. However, I guarantee that you'll stick around for the discussions and insight from both Bob and the guest hosts. This show should not be missed.

The BeanCast is one of the best marketing podcasts you'll find. There's no hidden agenda, just insight from a wide variety of guests with different experiences in differenct industries. It's a great intro into the marketing podcast segment. With the wide range of guests, you'll discover plenty of resources to pursue each week. The BeanCast also may have the best intro of any podcast. Check it out people.

The title of my review says it all. The Bean Cast brings together some of the brightest and influence people in the areas of Media, Technology, and Advertising today. Not CEO's who just think of the bottom line. The real people creating innovation and theory today. The lively panels have thought provoking discussions that present views from across the Media Spectrum about subjects that impact our daily life today and tomorrow. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who is in Advertising, Marketing, Media, Sales, or Technology.

The podcast is often an hour or more in length, so concise it's not. But informative, yes. It's the sort of thing you'd listen to on a very long commute. Something that long and the frequent can't always be interesting (if I hear one more word about Twitter I'm going to scream), but they can be really funny. I listened to it today on the way home—a very long commute—and I laughed out loud several times. All that and insights into the advertising and marketing worlds that you might not have gotten anywhere else. So I recommend it.

I don't even work in the marketing business and I find this show entertaining! In fact, You could almost say I don't like marketing at all, so that should say something about the quality of this show!

The BeanCast takes current events in the marketing world and lets an array of experts hash out why they're relevant -- or irrelevant, as appropriate. A must-listen for anyone in the business. (Disclosure: I'm a frequent guest, but I listen regularly because that latter point's plain fact.)

This podcast is a must for anyone remotley related to the marketing profession, or if you simply like to hear what is going on from a marketing perspective (CFO's pay attention!). That being said this is also one of the funniest podcasts that I subscribe to! Witty, professional and highly informative... (I'm not an ad copy guy so I'm running out of adjectives already).

The BeanCast brings in the folks who make advertising/marketing/media move. Each episode, I take something away that makes me think and, more importantly, makes me more marketable as a professional. Suit or creative, client or agency, these are the topics that will shape - and are shaping - our business. Follow along or pack up your desk.

Not just because I tend to be a regular on the show, but I always felt that way about The Beancast. Everyone on the show always brings something different to the table and makes you think about advertising and/or marketing in a different light.

The Beancast is an exceptional podcast. With new shows weekly, it has become a ritual for me. The guests Bob hosts are always top-notch, the brightest in the marketing/advertising field. You’ll have some favorite guests (George Parker is mine) and you’ll have some favorite topics (Social Media) but every single show will have something to offer you for professional development, and weekly dose of smile. The Beancast is a professional production. The audio quality is fantastic, especially when you take into consideration that each episode sports a panel of guests sprawled across the globe. Thank you, Bob, for an amazing show!

A must for your podcast library if you are into advertising, marketing and branding.

One of the best podcasts out there. You will definitely feel smarter and more informed after listening. Bob has great guests who offer well-thought insights.

The Beancast brings the ad industry's top marketing experts into one room. Not the self proclaimed ones, but those that have spent years building fortune 500 brands. Add this podcast to your list now.

Bob and his rotating crew of marketing guests teach us lessons and keep us entertained at the same time. It doesn't matter what industry you're in, or what position you hold. If you're involved with sales or marketing at any point, there's something in each podcast for you. It's very worth the time invested in listening to each one of the podcasts. Good job, Bob. My one gripe is Skype--there must be another way, so that Walter and the others don't get distorted. As for the rest--the agenda, the back and forth conversation, etc.--of it, just keep 'em coming!

Via twitter @thebeancast reached out to me and answerred a question that I had back in January of 2009, and I've been listening to the podcast for almost a year now. I am in sales, not advertising nor marketing, but their show is entertaining and extremely informative to me even though it is outside of my professional domain. I always enjoy the guests, and the host does a great job of guiding productive and relevant conversation. Certainly one of the highest quality podcasts that I listen to. Keep up the great work!

Not being a marketer, I was skeptical that I would really catch on when I was introduced to the Podcast. But, Bob has a way of keeping topics current and very relevant, and the guests always bring a lot to the table. All in all, I look forward to the show on a weekly basis.

Entertaining, informative and a pretty amazing roster of great guests. One request: More George Parker! :-)

I'm a new subscriber but I'm hooked! This is relevant, valuable info and conversations about what is going on the the marketing and advertising world. I recommend anyone in the industry listen and subscribe. Impressive guests too :)

This is a great podcast for all Marketeers to hear thoughtful, provocative and engaging debate on all things marketing and business. A great resource and a top way to stay abreast of the industry hot topics, and learn from a series of passionate panelists. Bob Knorpp is a great host and even finds the time to include and respond to listener questions and disucssions. Great Stuff.

I am always excited on Mondays when the Beancast pops up on my phone. I own a small law firm and do the markeitng myself I found the Beancast about four months ago and have really enjoyed listening since. Very interesting topics and guests. I love hearing about the social marketing aspect of things. Host is great. I am a fan!

I'm not in the marketing business, I just enjoy thoughtful discussions, and this podcasts provides that by the boatload. The quality of the recordings and the content is completely professional. At the same time, it never feels over-produced or forced. It feels like a bunch of industry pros sitting around chatting about their business. I've been listening for a while now and felt motivated to write a review because I'm constantly impressed by the knowledge of Bob and the various guests he has on. Take a listen, you won't be disappointed!

There is no shortage of marketing/social media podcasts, but the Bean Cast stands out as the best. It's thoughtful, well organized, and TO THE POINT. So many other podcasts are just guys talking in circles for the entertainment of hearing the sounds of their own voices. The Bean Cast is well researched, well prepared, and well produced. I appreciate the effort. Always something to learn from the Bean Cast, whether you're in marketing, media, or just interested in where it's all going.

If you want to know what's going on in advertising and branding in the US, this podcast is a must-listen. Great guests every week leading to a lively discussion of all the latest issues.

A weely marketing discussion in plain simple english. I learn the ins and outs of marketing and social media This podcast in on my weely listening rotation. One of only two podcasts on mareting I listen to. Cool theme music.
