by Podknows Podcasting
B2B Podcasting Insights is for founders, CMOs, consultants, and solo operators who want their podcast to shorten their sales cycle and increase the quality of inbound conversations. Most branded podcasts, designed by businesses, are content wallpaper — polite, vague, interchangeable, and strategically pointless. This show is the opposite. Because podcasting isn’t about brand awareness. It’s about belief — specifically, the kind that makes a prospect say “Yeah, I already trust you.” We talk positioning, message clarity, buying triggers, narrative leverage, and how to use your voice as a strategic asset. Straight talk. No fluff. No “10 tips”. Just how to make your branded B2B podcast actually move deals.

I did NOT see this coming - a surprising benefit of attending The Podcast Show 2026
Yes, I attended The Podcast Show. Yes I had both good and bad things to say. (One of those things is pasted below from my LinkedIn)But through it all, there was one super surprising benefit I discovered from going to The Podcast Show 2026. I really did NOT see this coming.http://podknows.co.uk/contact(FROM LINKEDIN)The Podcast Show 2026 was ultimately epic. Let me go deeper, fam. Let's slide through the obvious stuff like the wonderful sense of community and camaraderie that exists among the many strangers and even those who are technically 'competitors'. This is one of my favourite things about the show. 10/10 — no notes. I'm going to say that I'm blown away by how seriously the event organisers take this show, and they only ever want to make it better each year. I also thoroughly enjoyed some of the perspectives from the stages. It wasn't a total pitchfest. And if anybody tried to schill their warez, the moderators did a fab job of keeping them back on point. (I felt for Katie Prescott from The Times who had the misfortune of moderating a panel with podcasting's perniciousness incarnate, Jeanine Wright. I mean, the tech ops had to actually resort to drowning her out with music to stop her in her delusional verbal tracks.) I won't say any more on that talk other than to acknowlege the loud and passionate criticisms from the baying audience which reassured my weeping heart. But there were a couple of negatives and it would be off-brand for me not to mention 'em. With iteration, someone, somewhere, is always going to be left slightly disappointed while others benefit. We see this in podcast production all the time – we make a tweak to improve content such as adding sound design or introducing structure, and there will always be someone who hates the new sound because it's no longer what they became comfortable with. So I accept that some of the things that I didn't enjoy as much are a subjective thing. Gone was the business stage – clearly didn't get the bums on seats last year – and so a big reason I enjoyed the event last year was disappeared. We move past that. It's one of those things. I also felt sad at how some of the people hosting talks clearly didn't know their audience. An example of this was a chat about the benefits of immersive sound design that was schilling Dolby as a tool. Now I'm not the biggest technical nerd in this space, but I'm pretty sure none of the podcast apps offer passthru of that standard, so that was a fairly pointless 25 minutes for anyone NOT considering running an audiobook on Audible. My biggest WTF moment was the one pictured. Head honcho from YouTube grabs three creatives who have seen success putting their podcasts on the platform. I'll say this, if a head of content can't project manage success in video podcasting at... well... The Guardian... then I'd have expected them to quit being in charge of content immediately, because it would suggest an incompetency problem. There we no receipts of before YouTube and after YouTube. Just a whole lot of 'trust me bro, we know what we're talking about' which too many lazy last-minute panellists tend to lean on. To be clear, this is a criticism of the individual speakers, NOT the event itself. In old money, definitely still a A+ event. Well done to all the team.Mentioned in this episode:Learn More About Podknows PodcastingWe're at https://podknows.co.uk/

Your B2B podcast looks and sounds like Diary of a CEO. That's NOT a compliment!
There's a very specific kind of irony happening across B2B podcasting right now. Someone posts on LinkedIn about the urgent need to differentiate from competitors — gets hundreds of nodding comments, a few congratulatory pats on the shoulder — and then releases a podcast episode that sounds verrrrrry familiar.Hi, I'm Neal Veglio, founder of Podknows Podcasting and host of B2B Podcasting Insights. And in this episode, I'm breaking down why copying the Diary of a CEO container is actively working against your buyers' trust — and what the one thing is that actually differentiates a B2B podcast. Spoiler: it's not your lighting rig.Also in this episode:Founder FAQ: Dominic from Norwich wants to know why his podcast guests never share the episode after recording — and what he can do about itQuick Tip: The simple title strategy that will make every episode you publish sharper, more specific, and more honest than anything you planned in advanceIf your show is built around looking successful rather than being useful, this one's going to sting slightly.

Your Sales Team Have Never Heard Your Podcast (And It's Costing You)
If you've got a B2B podcast and a sales team — there's a fairly good chance they've never properly met.That sounds absurd. And yet it's almost universal.Hi, I'm Neal Veglio, founder of Podknows Podcasting. We're a podcast agency helping B2B businesses and founders enjoy better results from their podcast.In this episode of B2B Podcasting Insights, I'm explaining why the most valuable thing most B2B podcasting strategies are missing isn't more content — it's a single conversation between two teams that should have happened months ago.Whether you're a founder, a CMO, or a sales leader wondering why your expert positioning isn't converting — this episode will change how you think about what your podcast is actually for.Useful linksPodknows Website https://podknows.co.ukB2B Podcast Growth Diagnostic https://podknows.co.uk/diagnosticPodcast Audits https://podknows.co.uk/auditsSend a voice note or question https://podknows.co.uk/feedbackTimestamped chapters00:00 The fantasy inbound call01:51 The podcast sales crime scene03:54 Why marketing and sales missed each other05:19 The meeting that never happens06:37 What good looks like on a sales call08:39 Your 10-minute podcast deployment playbook10:40 Founder FAQ: Fred Copestake on sales vs. marketing15:31 Quick tip: when to ask for a followMentioned in this episode:Learn More About Podknows PodcastingWe're at https://podknows.co.uk/

B2B Podcast Growth Timeline - are you measuring wrongly?
You published your 40th episode this week and your download graph looks less like a rocket and more like a polite cough.The CFO is squinting at the line item.You're Googling "how long should a B2B podcast take to work?" from the toilet at 11pm on a Sunday.Before you cancel the whole thing, there's a chance you're measuring against the wrong clock entirely.I'm Neal Veglio, and in this episode of B2B Podcasting Insights, I'm breaking down why most founders are timing their podcast from the wrong day — and the reframe that gives most of them six months of their life back.We look at why every branded B2B podcast sounds completely different at episode 15 than it did at episode 1, why your audience doesn't build a relationship with your dress rehearsals, and why two founders on identical publishing schedules can end up in wildly different commercial positions.There's also the 10-minute Monday exercise that tells you whether your show is developing or drifting, a founder FAQ from Sara on what to actually name a B2B podcast, and a quick tip on rewriting your first two lines like a cold open instead of a voicemail.Useful linksPodknows Websitehttps://podknows.co.ukB2B Podcast Growth Diagnostichttps://podknows.co.uk/diagnosticPodcast Auditshttps://podknows.co.uk/auditsTimestamped summary00:00 10 months, 40 episodes, and Derek the pop filter00:42 Welcome to B2B Podcasting Insights01:08 The Sunday night founder panic02:15 Why your "start date" is the wrong clock03:30 Episode 15: where your show actually begins05:15 The reframe — six months in, not ten06:30 Not a permission slip: this is a diagnostic07:15 Founder #1 — developing, compounding, working08:30 Founder #2 — still dress-rehearsing at month ten09:45 Monday's 10-minute exercise: two jobs11:00 The sales team test every founder should run12:00 Why the wrong clock kills B2B podcasts12:45 Founder FAQ: Sara on naming a B2B podcast15:00 Quick tip: the first two lines as a cold open16:45 Closing thoughts and diagnostic CTAMentioned in this episode:Learn More About Podknows PodcastingWe're at https://podknows.co.uk/

Stop Making a B2B Podcast! Start Making a SALES Podcast.
If your B2B podcast sounds "fine" but nothing ever really seems to come off the back of it, the problem probably isn't the content. It's the label. You need to stop making a B2B Podcast and start proactively designing your sales podcast."B2B podcast" has slowly come to mean a very specific thing. And the moment a show accepts that label, it's off the hook commercially. It doesn't have to do a job. It just has to exist.I'm Neal Veglio, and in this episode of B2B Podcasting Insights, I'm making the case for a completely different framing: the sales podcast.Not a salesy podcast.Not a weekly advert with a theme tune.A show deliberately designed to accelerate a buying decision your ideal customer is already edging toward.Useful linksPodknows Websitehttps://podknows.co.ukSales Podcast Self-Audit (one-page PDF)https://podknows.co.uk/sales-podcast-testB2B Podcast Growth Diagnostichttps://podknows.co.uk/diagnosticPodcast Auditshttps://podknows.co.uk/auditsTimestamped summary00:00 A B2B podcast parody01:32 Why "B2B podcast" has become the wrong label02:38 A LinkedIn company page with a microphone03:24 What a sales podcast actually is (and isn't)04:09 Why marketers flinch at the word "sales"05:51 The B2B dodge and its commercial cost08:14 The three-question sales podcast test11:23 What changes when your podcast earns its keep13:38 Pre-sold prospects and a shorter pipeline15:00 Why most B2B podcasts were built to fail16:08 Founder FAQ — Gareth on first-episode nerves17:54 Quick tip — your cover art isn't a logo19:13 The Sales Podcast Self-Audit and next steps

Founder Podcast Playbook: Understanding Listener Analytics
You opened your podcast dashboard this week, saw a number, felt vaguely okay or pretty terrible — and then closed the tab. That's not a podcast strategy. That's reading your horoscopes.In this episode of B2B Podcasting Insights, Neal Veglio gives you the playbook for putting your listener analytics to actual strategic use — starting with what each number in your dashboard is really telling you, and more importantly, what decision it should be prompting you to make.We cover the four metrics that matter for founders running B2B podcasts: why downloads measure reach rather than popularity and what to do with that insight, how completion rate is the single most important number your show can produce, what drop-off points are really telling you about your content and your audience, and why repeat listeners are your most valuable buying-window signal.There's also a Monday morning protocol — a simple, repeatable process for turning your analytics into content decisions and audience-fit tests before your next episode even goes live.Plus: a listener Q&A response to a founder who recorded six episodes and hasn't published a single one, and a quick tip on why your show notes are probably written for the wrong person entirely.Useful linksPodknows Websitehttps://podknows.co.ukFounder Podcast Playbook (Free Download)https://podknows.co.uk/founder-podcast-playbookB2B Podcast Growth Diagnostichttps://podknows.co.uk/diagnosticPodcast Auditshttps://podknows.co.uk/auditsTimestamped Summary00:00 — The dashboard problem every B2B founder has01:05 — What this episode is (and isn't) about downloads02:30 — Metric 1: Downloads — reach vs popularity, and what to compare04:15 — Your Monday morning downloads protocol05:00 — Metric 2: Completion rate — the one number to rule them all06:45 — What a sub-40% completion rate is really telling you07:30 — Metric 3: Drop-off points — your script doctor09:15 — Metric 4: Repeat listeners and the buying window10:45 — Monday morning protocol recap11:30 — Founder Q&A: Rachel's six unpublished episodes14:15 — Quick tip: Your show notes are a search landing page15:45 — CTA: The Founder Podcast Playbook and DiagnosticMentioned in this episode:Learn More About Podknows PodcastingWe're at https://podknows.co.uk/

Marketing With Podcasting — How Buying Triggers Beat Brand Awareness
If you've put a solid business case together for a branded podcast to help with your B2B podcast marketing, and still got shot down before the biscuits were finished — it probably wasn't the idea that failed. It was the argument you used to make it.Download numbers and audience engagement strategies mean nothing to a CFO. "Big brands are doing it" lands even worse. What actually works is connecting your podcast directly to a commercial problem the business already admits it has — and reframing it not as content, but as a sales asset.I'm Neal Veglio, founder of Podknows Podcasting, and in this episode of B2B Podcasting Insights, I'm walking through exactly how to shift the internal conversation around your B2B podcast — from risk anxiety to revenue logic.We cover why stakeholder pushback on business podcasts is almost always a risk problem rather than a content problem, what not to say in a stakeholder meeting, and how to build a six-episode pilot plan that feels contained enough to get a yes. There's also a section on finding your internal champion before you even walk through the door — and why that coalition matters more than any PowerPoint deck.We also tackle publishing cadence (weekly is not a moral obligation) and episode length (it ends when the point is made — not when you've hit 30 minutes).If you're trying to get a branded B2B podcast off the ground, or you're struggling to demonstrate its value internally, this one's for you.Useful linksPodknows Websitehttps://podknows.co.ukB2B Podcast Growth Diagnostichttps://podknows.co.uk/diagnosticPodcast Auditshttps://podknows.co.uk/auditsMentioned in this episode:Learn More About Podknows PodcastingWe're at https://podknows.co.uk/

This B2B Podcasting Intro Problem's Costing You Expert Positioning
Your B2B podcast might be producing great content. But if listeners are bailing before you've said anything useful, the problem isn't your topic, your audio quality, or your production value.It's what happens in the first 10 seconds.I'm Neal Veglio, and in this episode of B2B Podcasting Insights, I'm making the case that intro music and generic cold opens are quietly driving away the very people you're trying to reach — your ideal prospects — before they've heard a single word of value from you.We look at why sonic branding made sense in radio (and why that logic completely falls apart in podcasting), what a B2B buyer is actually thinking in those first few seconds before they decide to stay or skip, and what the ingredients of a cold open that signals authority actually look like.There's also a Founder FAQ answering whether episode length is hurting completion rates (spoiler: it isn't — but something else is), and a practical quick tip for using specific podcast episodes to shorten the trust-building phase of your discovery calls.If your show still opens with 30 seconds of music and a "welcome back," this episode will tell you exactly what that's costing you — and how to fix it.Useful linksPodknows Websitehttps://podknows.co.ukFree Intro Guidehttps://podknows.co.uk/intro-guideB2B Podcast Growth Diagnostichttps://podknows.co.uk/diagnosticPodcast Auditshttps://podknows.co.uk/auditsTimestamped summary00:00 The sound of listeners leaving00:53 The 15-second test you should run right now01:54 What your intro music is actually signalling to new listeners03:17 The B2B buyer's mental state when they press play04:11 Why sonic branding is a radio hangover05:40 Active vs passive: why podcasting is not radio06:28 What the wrong version sounds like (live demo)07:10 What the right version sounds like (live demo)08:25 The three ingredients of a proper cold open10:38 The psychology of the first press of play11:34 Founder FAQ: Is my 40-minute episode too long?14:38 Quick tip: pre-sell prospects before your discovery call15:33 Final thoughts and where to go next
