Social Media Marketing Podcast

Michael Stelzner has been running the Social Media Marketing Podcast since 2012, and the fact that it still pulls in a dedicated audience over a decade later says a lot. As the founder of Social Media Examiner, one of the biggest marketing publications online, Stelzner has access to practically anyone in the industry, and he uses that Rolodex well. Each week, he sits down with a different expert for about 45 minutes and digs into a specific social media or marketing topic. The interview style is focused and practical. Stelzner does not waste time on small talk. He asks pointed questions, summarizes key points along the way, and makes sure listeners walk away with something they can actually use. That structure is one reason the show has earned a 4.7 rating from nearly 1,500 reviews. Topics rotate through the major platforms and strategies: Instagram Reels, YouTube growth, LinkedIn content, Facebook ads, TikTok tactics, email list building, and more. Because the show is weekly rather than daily, each episode goes deeper than a quick tip format would allow. You get real implementation details, not just surface-level overviews. The guest selection leans toward practitioners and consultants who are doing the work, not just theorizing about it. If you run social media for a business, manage a team, or handle your own accounts, this is one of the most reliable weekly listens for staying current without feeling overwhelmed. Show notes on the Social Media Examiner site are thorough too, which is a nice bonus.
