There's a podcast for everything these days.
Need to learn how to plumb in a washing machine or paint a skirting board? There's a podcast for that. Interested in science? Or celebrity gossip? Or 70s jazz-rock? Share your passion with Google and it will return a raft of results that you can sink your ears into.
The world of business has gotten in on the action, too. Podcast platforms are goldmines of corporate chinwagging. Tune in to Apple Podcasts or Spotify and you'll hear business gurus share nuggets of wisdom on topics as diverse as global trade, management and – yes – eCommerce.
The problem is that, well, there's a podcast for everything these days. There's so much choice on offer that it's hard to sort the wheat from the aimless chat.
Not to worry – we've done the hard work for you. Point your ears at these 10 eCommerce podcasts and you'll learn scores of strategic shortcuts.
1. Shopify Masters
Rating:
4.7 on Apple Podcasts UK
Hosts: Shuang Esther Shan and Adam Levinter
Do you use Shopify?
Masters is the eCommerce platform's official podcast, so you can be confident that its hosts know their stuff.
It's not all Shopify hype, though. This long-running, twice-weekly show sees hosts Shuang Esther Shan and Adam Levinter interview luminaries from the wide and varied world of eCommerce.
At the time of writing, the show has clocked up more than 500 episodes, so there's lots to catch up on – and lots to learn.

3. The eCommerce Playbook
Rating:
5.0 on Apple Podcasts UK
Hosts: Taylor Holiday and Richard Gaffin
The eCommerce Playbook
kicked off in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. So, as you might imagine, its tone is less "Let's revel in our success" and more "Batten down the hatches – we've got this".
This is good news for anyone who's struggling to navigate the choppy waters of modern-day eCommerce. The show doesn't shy away from tough questions and is full of up-to-the-minute, actionable advice.
Plus, some episodes are as short as five minutes, so you can mug up on your coffee break.
4. Future Commerce Podcast
Rating: 5.0 on Apple Podcasts UK
Hosts: Phillip Jackson and Brian Lange
Future Commerce is an online eCommerce magazine that has several podcasts to its name. All of them are worth a listen – especially the gloriously monikered Infinite Shelf.
However, we've chosen the mag's flagship podcast for the sheer breadth of its content. Tune in to hear discussions on topics as varied as pricing conspiracy theories, people management and, erm, "our [expletive] robot future".
Yes, as regular Future Commerce readers will know, this is not your usual polite boardroom chat – and it's all the better for it.
5. My Wife Quit Her Job
Rating: 4.7 on Apple Podcasts UK
Host: Steve Chou
Are you dreaming of ditching the nine-to-five? Do you want to ride the waves of eCommerce success without sacrificing your savings, social life or sanity?
Not to sound like a broken record, but there's a podcast for that.
My Wife Quit Her Job
– or, as its tagline declares, "the bootstrapped business podcast" – is all about doing it DIY. It's about taking the seed of an idea and growing it into a big, fat, successful tree. If you've got endless dreams and limited capital, listen in. You won't regret it.
6. Ecommerce Conversations
Rating: 5.0 on Apple Podcasts UK
Host: Eric Bandholz
Ecommerce Conversations
is the official podcast of PracticalEcommerce: an online resource that helps e-tail businesses improve and grow. The website is a wellspring of useful information – and its audio cousin is just as enlightening, covering topics like copywriting, video marketing and much more.
If you're expecting the audio equivalent of
Encyclopædia Britannica, fear not. Most episodes clock in at a tight 30 minutes – just right for a quick jog or morning commute.
7. eCommerce Evolution
Rating:
4.9 on Apple Podcasts US
Host: Brett Curry
What's
eCommerce Evolution
all about? The clue, as they say, is in the name. This weekly show focuses on all things new and exciting in the evolving world of eCommerce.
Like many similar podcasts,
eCommerce Evolution leans into the time-tested interview format. At the time of writing, recent guests include a serial brand scaler, a men's grooming magnate and a (legal) cannabis entrepreneur. Interesting stuff.
8. eCommerce Fastlane
Rating: 5.0 on Apple Podcasts UK
Host: Steve Hutt
You wouldn't know it from the name, but
eCommerce Fastlane
is about all things Shopify. Each week, Steve Hutt invites an expert or entrepreneur to chew the fat on Shopify strategies, Shopify marketing, Shopify this and Shopify that.
Not a Shopify user? It's still worth a listen. The show dishes out plenty of transferrable tips and growth hacks that can add value to any online enterprise.
9. Honest eCommerce

Host: Chase Clymer
On
Honest eCommerce, Chase Clymer and his guests discuss business, life and the delicate balance between the two.

10. eCommerce Influence
Rating:
4.4 on Apple Podcasts UK
Host: Austin Brawner
eCommerce Influence sells itself as an antidote to the industry's all-too-prevalent "crush-it culture". Expect relaxed chat about what's working, what's not and why there are more important things to worry about than the nine-to-five.
Barring a couple of episodes in late 2023, the podcast appears to be dormant. However, with nearly 400 episodes in the bank, there's still plenty to get your teeth into.
