Ten Stars
I heard Nudge advertised on a different marketing podcast. Since I'm fascinated by behavior based marketing, I checked it out. I just binged about 20 episodes and going deep down the rabbit hole. New excited fan!!
The Podcast That Applies Psychology for Everyday Insights
As a listener always looking to enrich my perspective, I was delightfully surprised to discover the Nudge podcast. Hosted by marketer Phill Agnew, Nudge explores the intersection of human psychology and business, distilling scientific research into bite-sized nuggets of insight.
While I don't consider myself a marketing aficionado, I find myself captivated by each episode. Phill has a true talent for making complex concepts understandable and applicable. His smooth voice and witty metaphors make each topic engaging and memorable. I often find myself pondering how a particular "nudge" technique could apply to my own habits and behaviors long after an episode ends.
What I appreciate most about Nudge is how empowering it is. Unlike some business podcasts that feel exclusively tailored towards entrepreneurs, the psychology and influence principles explored in Nudge could benefit anyone. Understanding the subtle ways we make decisions has helped me feel more in control and aware in my personal and professional interactions.
The format also lends itself well to busy schedules - most episodes are 20 minutes or less. But despite the brevity, each one feels meticulously crafted, weaving in scientific studies and guest perspectives for a well-rounded discussion. It's clear Phill does his homework.
I highly recommend Nudge to anyone seeking self-improvement with a side of entertainment. You'll walk away feeling smarter about human behavior - not to mention picked up some sly tips to gently influence those around you. Phill has a rare skill for engaging curious minds while also equipping us with practical tools. Give Nudge a listen - I'm positive you'll get hooked!
You don’t have to be a marketing geek
I hav en interest in marketing. I listen to each show to learn about human behavior and to understand more about the things that influence me!
