&lt;p&gt;These days, it seems like you’re either a podcast person, or you’re not a podcast person. If you are (or you’re trying to be), you know that the sheer number of options is kind of mind-boggling. Everybody has a podcast, and you can find one for any topic that interests you—from politics and the arts to hobbies and television shows (HBO just launched one for &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://collider.com/watchmen-podcast-damon-lindelof-craig-mazin/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Watchmen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, and I wasn’t a podcast person until this morning).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For those looking to learn a thing or two on their daily commute or between classes, podcasts are an excellent way to get information on-the-go and in short, digestible segments. MBA students, in particular, can stay abreast of industry trends and glean valuable insights into the next phase of their careers. But with so many podcasts out there, it’s not always easy to sort through all the noise. To that end, we’ve put together this list of 10 podcasts every MBAs should subscribe to right now—in no particular order.*&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&#160;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;https://hbr.org/2018/01/podcast-ideacast&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;HBR IdeaCast&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Whose podcast is it? &lt;/strong&gt;The Harvard Business Review; hosted by senior editors Alison Beard and Curt Nickisch.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do they cover?&lt;/strong&gt; Thought-provoking discussions on a wide range of topics, from gender equality to AI and robotics, featuring CEOs, academics, and other thought leaders in business management.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When are episodes released?&lt;/strong&gt; Weekly (Mondays).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How long are episodes?&lt;/strong&gt; Typically 20 to 30 mins.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&#160;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;https://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/category/podcasts/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Knowledge@Wharton&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Whose podcast is it? &lt;/strong&gt;University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School of Business.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do they cover?&lt;/strong&gt; CEOs, Wharton faculty, and other prominent figures provide their analyses of global business trends, breaking news, market research, and more.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When are episodes released?&lt;/strong&gt; Multiple times per week, sometimes multiple times per day.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How long are episodes?&lt;/strong&gt; Typically 20 to 45 mins, with occasional outliers.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&#160;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; href=&quot;https://tim.blog/podcast/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Tim Ferriss Show&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Whose podcast is it? &lt;/strong&gt;Tim Ferriss, entrepreneur and bestselling author of &lt;em&gt;The 4-Hour Work Week&lt;/em&gt;, among others.&#160;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do they cover?&lt;/strong&gt; Often the #1 business podcast, and three-time winner of the “Best of iTunes” awards, this podcast covers virtually every topic under the sun related to productivity, self-discovery, industry news, and personal growth.
