The Business of Learning

Training Industry has been the go-to resource for corporate learning professionals for over 20 years, and their podcast distills that expertise into a monthly show. With 100 episodes, The Business of Learning sits at the intersection of business performance and human capital development. It is produced by people who literally research and report on the training industry for a living, which gives it a different kind of credibility. The monthly release schedule means episodes are more substantive than your typical weekly drop. Recent ones have featured a McKinsey leadership expert discussing product management principles applied to L&D strategy, career pathways for L&D professionals eyeing executive roles, and a retrospective on 20 years of industry trends. There are also bonus episodes that go deeper on specific topics. The show carries a 4.2-star rating from 24 reviews. The production is polished and professional, fitting for a publisher that serves the industry at large. What makes it valuable is the analytical lens -- Training Industry tracks market data, vendor ecosystems, and effectiveness research, so the conversations tend to be evidence-informed rather than opinion-driven. This is not a casual chat show. It is a monthly briefing that helps you understand where the industry is heading and how the best organizations are connecting learning investment to business outcomes. Great for L&D leaders who need to justify budgets and demonstrate ROI.
