The HR L&D Podcast

Nick Day hosts this UK-based show that bridges the gap between HR and L&D in a way that feels natural rather than forced. With 195 episodes and a perfect 5.0-star rating from 6 reviews, Nick has built a show that covers the full people development spectrum -- from recruitment and retention through to leadership development and organizational change. The guest roster is impressive and varied. Recent episodes have featured conversations on suicide prevention in the workplace, building resilient teams, behavioral psychology behind sustainable change, and AI's evolving role in learning. Nick has a talent for taking highly specialized topics and making them accessible through well-structured interviews. As one reviewer put it, he breaks down complicated HR topics into action items you can actually use. Nick comes from a recruitment background at JGA, which gives him a practical understanding of how organizations actually find and develop talent. That perspective keeps the show grounded in real-world business concerns rather than academic theory. Episodes typically run 30-45 minutes, and the show publishes regularly. It is particularly strong for HR generalists who also own L&D responsibilities, which describes a huge number of professionals in mid-sized organizations. If you live at that HR-L&D intersection and want a show that speaks to both sides of your role, this one gets it right.
