Great list thanks Aaron!
I just had to share our new podcast, not specifically SaaS but we cover a lot about our learnings re. SaaS growth from our SaaS Marketer case studies…
It’s called Confessions Of A B2B Marketer and follows my journey growing a media, agency AND SaaS business.
All episodes here: https://saasmarketer.io/tag/listen
Hey Tom, thanks for sharing your new podcast. I’ll definitely check it out soon.
Hey Aaron – love his list. Agree, Tom is a solid SaaS Marketer as well, who we had on our podcast as well. Would suggest checking out the SaaS District podcast if you haven’t already.
We interview some of the best SaaS CEO’s, marketers and investors.
Let me know what you think: https://horizencapital.com/saas-podcast
Great list, thank you for putting this together, Aaron!
Can we suggest two more shows, should you consider updating this for 2020 or 2021? 🙂
Slow & Steady by Brian Rhea and Benedikt Deicke (my co-founder). They’re at 69 episodes now, and they talk weekly about their SaaS journeys: https://www.slowandsteadypodcast.com/
Better Done Than Perfect by our team at Userlist. This is an interview show for SaaS founders with much heavier post-production, detailed recaps, etc. We’re just wrapping up the first season with guests like Rand Fishkin, Adii Pieanaar, etc.: https://userlist.com/podcast/
Hi Aaron!
Thanks for sharing this list, I find it extremely useful for all people within SaaS world!
Actually, I saw many founders struggling with building the right thing, organizing development, accountability, and communication with developers, remote work, rapid prototyping, and much more.
And I decided to interview founders from all stages – from people just starting to people who have over a hundred employees – and share how they build successful software products.
My podcast is called “Product Stories”, you may check it out here: https://www.trustshoring.com/productstories/
I believe it can really insightful for many start-up founders and I’ll be grateful if you give it a listen or maybe even include it in your list.
Hi Aaron,
Thanks for posting this list! I am excited to check out these podcasts.
