Podcast List on Learning, English Only

What do learning professionals listen to?

Podcast List on Learning, English Only

After an open question on Linkedin, Marie-Louise Kok received many tips for podcasts about learning, education and L&D and I have collected them below. Every year she makes an update as a service for Learning professionals. The number of episodes is a snapshot of winter 2021. The series without an update are placed at the bottom of the list. Furthermore, the order is arbitrary. Do you have a comment or listening tip? Pass it on and I’ll add it. Enjoy!
