The Talented Learning Show

John Leh occupies a unique niche in the L&D podcast world: he is an independent learning technology analyst who actually tests and evaluates the platforms he discusses. With 108 episodes and a perfect 5.0-star rating, The Talented Learning Show focuses on the technology that powers learning programs -- LMS platforms, AI-native systems, customer education tools, and channel partner training solutions. The show is essentially a buyer's guide in podcast form. John interviews vendors, practitioners, and consultants about specific learning technology use cases. Recent episodes have covered AI capabilities for channel partners, new global learning system tools, association member education technology, and building solo training enterprises. He asks the hard questions about what platforms actually do versus what they claim. This is not a show for everyone. If you are looking for general L&D inspiration or leadership advice, look elsewhere. But if you are the person responsible for selecting, implementing, or managing learning technology in your organization -- and someone almost always is -- John's show is indispensable. His research and consulting background at Talented Learning means he brings market-level insight to every conversation. He knows which vendors are gaining traction, which trends are real versus marketing, and what buyers should actually care about. For L&D leaders navigating technology decisions, this podcast can save you from expensive mistakes.
