Best podcasts to increase business knowledge/sense

I have a science background and am applying for consulting positions this upcoming year. What are the best podcasts to learn more about business? Not necessarily teaching terms, but case studies about companies? Or similar

Hi there,

I have quite enjoyed these three:
 

  1. Founder’s Field Guide (Patrick O’Shaughnessy – Colossus)

    Interviews with founders about company building and decision-making.

     

  2. Business Breakdowns (Colossus)

    Deep dives into how specific businesses work (e.g., Ferrari, Amazon Web Services, Costco).

     

  3. Masters of Scale (Reid Hoffman)

    Explores how companies grow from zero to a billion.

    Blends storytelling with sharp business insights.
     

Let me know if you’d want to connect about more specific points.

Hi there!

Beyond the above, Crafting Cases has a podcast related to case interview, that may be useful if you’re at the prep stage.

Best,

Mari

Hi Anna,

I would like to add the podcast of Victor Cheng covering the topic of gaining case interview skills focusing on the hypothesis driven approach.

Good luck with the prep!
