I’ve been listening since day one and should have given a review long ago! If you are just starting out, an marketing industry veteran or just someone who wants marketing guidance and insight that is practical and useful, this is the podcast for you. Michael and his team deliver value with each and every episode and the information he shares and the guests he has will prove to be invaluable to all marketers. Subscribe now-you’ll that me later!

Great show but I always forget about it because when I’m scrolling through my podcasts Social Media Marketing the cover looks like a child podcast. If this is a marketing show in the cover image should be a lot better.

I have been listening for a while but the content marketing strategies for 2025 blew my mind. Not only did it provide very useful tips but broke down the subject matter to simplistic terms.

I listen to podcasts 2x a day to try and learn and improve in all areas of business. This is by far the best and easy to listen social media marketing podcast. They also have an amazing website to break down each podcast. It’s very to the point and not a lot of small talk which I prefer.

Please do your research on your guests before putting them on your show. The fact that you put well known scammer Hala Taha on your show is disappointing. Look up what she has been caught doing — scamming the Apple podcast charts, buying LinkedIn followers etc. I now question if I can trust any of your guests.

Worth listening to week after week. You can always learn a new application or approach from this educational content. I highly recommend.

Been listening since 2016. Michael speaks with you and not at you. So down to earth and informative. Keep up the great work.

I love this show. Very relative for any business.

Michael asks the questions every listener has. When he interviews a guest, you feel like he’s able to hear what you’re wondering because that’s the next question that comes out of his mouth!

Listening to Google ads episode it’s my 3rd or 4th, and in each the lead is is SO LONG. WE ARE REALLY BUSY. On this one he asked her such detail of her background, her career NOW….that’s not why I clicked to give my time Michael! Please honor our time by editing more.

Been listening to the show for about a month now, and really enjoy the variety of topics, and the depth Chris gets into! Wish it were more than one a week, because I’m catching up on all the episodes. Definitely worth listening to!

Just found this show…and am glad I did! Great advice and information!!

I love the new content of Marketing Disruptive & would love to hear more about expert thoughts regarding our current state & what we can do for the future. Timely content. I’d also love to hear mostly & specifically what Michael has to say about that particular content opposed to so many other voices. I like Michael’s perspective.

Sorry, but no matter how you spin it (and the EU has this right) your email scraping from visitors to your websites is unethical. AI is making everyone freak out, it’s a massive change that will destroy jobs and businesses. But panic into unethical behavior will not win the day, nor the years. Back to the drawing board. Opportunities unseen need to be found. The world turns again, as usual.

Michael, I’ve been following your work since your book about white papers. I love how you get right to the core issue and solution. There isn’t a lot of fluff in your Podcasts. They are very informative and that is awesome. The only thing I can suggest, and I only do it because it becomes a distraction in listening to your show, is that you end almost every sentence with the word “right?” You are not the only one in the world that does it, but it would be nice to minimize that a bit.

There are good guests on this show, but be prepared to fast forward through the host’s mansplaining. He does it to every guest to somehow prove he’s also an expert on whatever the topic is.

i love the variety in social media marketing topics! all extremely helpful! ⭐️

☝️ can’t have enough of this community , meeting them in person is another lever at social media annual marketing world 🫶 love you guys from Kuwait 🇰🇼

I have a show on regular rotation during my morning walks. I’m learning a variety of topics. I like how the host controls the interview and flow but in a very polite way. Highly recommend this show! Brenda Meller

I’m a regular listener and a big fan. The AI interview with Paul Roetzer was excellent. Great info on how it works, with comments on AI impact and opportunities for marketers. Thank you for sharing tips to create prompts and different tools/sites for writing, graphics and video.

I’ve been struggling with social media marketing and I’ve learned so many tactical things to help me in my efforts.

There’s always something to learn. Great guests sharing tips, tricks, and the newest features on various platforms.

Stick to the cross promotion either at the end or the beginning of the episode. Right in the middle distracts from and degrades the quality of the episode. I typically don’t mind an interrupt for a simple call to action. But if it is for a completely different show that has nothing to do with the content that is being consumed, it’s annoying.

I am an avid listener to your podcast and I used to be an avid follower of Sean Cannell. Until….he posted a photo on instagram of he and is wife proudly holding their son who was holding a long gun (or a long gun replica). I was pretty unsettled about the image and the way it came across. I quit following him everywhere and when he came on your show 2 days after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary in Texas I just couldn’t listen to his voice on your interview. Picturing his IG image of their little boy with that gun and the proud papa made me unable to hear his voice or follow anything about him.

As a social media marketer, I’m always looking to learn and share those learning with others. The Social Media Marketing World Podcast brings on experts in their craft to really dive into the nitty gritty of the issue. I appreciate the step-by-step approach to the questions. Thank you for all you do!

I just found this podcast and I love it because it shares actual usable content you can implement in your business.

Five min of ads at the top of the show is definitely a way to let me know how successful this show is for you. Seriously? Can’t you put your ads at the end? I promise we would possibly stay around to buy what you are selling if you didn’t ram it down our ears before your pitch. Okay, now that we have the worst offense mentioned let’s get to the meat of the issue. This show is for white people. It’s a ad, within an ad, within an ad, within an ad. If you can find the original thought in here you win the prize for having your own business. Do yourself a favor, spend the time you would spend listening to this show actually interacting with people on social media and you will see results. Make friends, explore, but don’t think you have to lower yourself to MLM ways of networking. Everyone can see through spam comments so invest in a thesaurus to properly punctuate your personality. Take photos of the sunset and tag yourself. Let people know you breathe. Don’t listen to people you would never have a drink with. They wouldn’t buy you a round when you have a reason to celebrate. Don’t let them see you cry. There, that is all better advice than anything these nobody’s will sell you. Keep your phones charged and don’t get political. BTW- last thought: the host is annoyingly racist. He made a comment about people speaking ‘Mexican’ - his words not mine. That was a moment I believe could have easily been edited out but I’m thankful it wasn’t because I could see what a complete Jacka$$ the host is.

Love this podcast. As a social media manager, sometimes I feel like I just cannot keep up! Michael is a fantastic researcher and interviewer. I learn so much from every episode and always walk away with practical steps to benefit the brands I’m working for. Very thankful for Michael’s work!!

I have never written a podcast review before and I listen to all the gurus since I own 4 websites. This is hands down the best one. His interview style is amazing constantly bringing every guest back to actionable steps. Keep up the great work! And thank you!

I understand the importance of monetizing your platform, but there’s just too many ads for me to have to navigate to listen to the content. I hope that you can find better balance.

I am in love with this podcast because it gives amazing overviews, but dives deep enough to be extremely valuable to new people on the platform.

I’m currently a marketing manager and always push our team to implement high quality content for marketing purposes. This podcast has been with me every step throughout my career in content marketing.

Always valuable content. Interview with Joe Pulizzi gave helped me see the importance of staying on one platform and building that audience before diversifying. Very applicable information provided.

Too many ads and very distracting

By far the best Podcast on Social Media knowledge and strategies. Michael is a really good interviewer who goes really deep into a number of topics. A must listen!

As a journalist, I have low tolerance for marketing blah blah blah, but Michael’s a really good interviewer, has a nice variety of guests (rotating between different social platforms), and has an upbeat style without going over the top. One of my regular podcasts. Always come away with practical tips. BobB

I loved the first episode I heard with Seth Godin. Can’t wait to listen to all of the great interviews I know exist within. Thanks for what you are doing Jordan!

Michael does a great job of presenting information. I love the tips he gives and the content is relevant and clearly explained. The podcast notes are very helpful in that I don’t have to worry about missing something. Thanks Michael for doing such a great job!

This podcast—and really many things that come out of Social Media Examiner—are geared towards entrepreneurs with little or no knowledge of social media. If you’re a professional social media marketer or work for a large brand, you won’t learn much that you didn’t already know. I attended last year’s Social Media Marketing World conference and found the same to be true.

I have been listening to this podcast for years and am way overdue in telling the world how enjoyable and informative your podcasts are. I have never been to your events but I still get tremendous value out of the podcast. Thank you!!

This podcast has been so helpful. I learn something every week that I try to put into action. Michael’s interview style is engaging and he asks all the questions I’d ask if I were in the room. I listen to many of these over and over. So grateful for this resource.

Very insightful content

I love Michael’s approach and this podcast. You have an excellent lineup of top rate guests and solo episodes with priceless tips, suggestions, and advice! I have implemented SOOOO much of these nuggets of wisdom to my business as well and it’s been amazing. Keep up the great content and keep killing it! Thanks!

I think this podcast is awesome. The guests are the best in the biz and always bring new trends and updates to the table. I am always learning something and highly recommend!

Once I found this show it quickly became my go-to source for all things marketing. Michael brings in a great variety of guests and covers a range of topics. I only wish there were more episodes.

If you own a business, you should be listening to this show. Been listening for a while, but the Elise Darma episode inspired me to write a review. Michael has a tremendous voice for podcasting, but the questions he asks are almost like the exact questions you would ask after hearing the previous information. He is a master at digging deeper so you can have the best understanding of the content that’s being presented AND then APPLY it to your business immediately!

I learn so much from this podcast as a busy creative / Mama entrepreneur it’s one of my go to sources of info on all things social media / biz. Thank you!! ❤️

I am a YouTuber and future Social Media Marketer who wants to help others with their marketing journey. All the information that I have heard on this podcast, not only fill me with positive and informative content that I can relate to. I get inspired to learn and grow my own content, to reach the potential that I know it can reach.

This podcast has been a great resource for finding reputable leaders in whatever aspect of social media marketing available.

Happy with the podcast so far after 2 listens! Thank you Michael Stelzner for the resource!
