    B2B podcasting done right: A playbook for science marketers

    Podcasting has exploded in popularity across B2C industries, but in B2B marketing, its potential remains underutilized and misunderstood. Too often, companies launch a podcast, produce a handful of episodes, and then abandon it when the download numbers don’t skyrocket overnight. So, how can B2B companies, especially in niche industries like life sciences, make podcasting a powerful tool for thought leadership, relationship-building, and even lead generation? To answer that, I’m joined by Jason Bradwell, founder of B2B Better and a specialist in helping companies turn podcasts into a real business asset. With over a decade of experience in B2B marketing, Jason has worked across multiple industries, refining strategies that make content not just engaging, but commercially valuable.
