Continuous learning makes up a massive part of our culture here at CleverClicks. From conferences to books to blogs to online courses, each member of our team is engaged in a learning plan that encompasses them all.

Given that hours in a day are limited (and we’re believers in having a life after work), podcasts are a firm favourite among our team. They allow one to soak up some knowledge while on your daily commute, folding the laundry, or anything else you’re doing on the go.

We’re currently running an internal staff learning competition here (who can read/listen to the most books/podcasts in a month) and thought we’d share some of our top podcast recommendations for those interested in growing the grey matter.

As a digital agency, most are on that theme but there are a couple about others as well.

Enjoy!

Analytics: The Digital Analytics Power Hour by Michael Helbling, Tim Wilson, Moe Kiss.

Upbeat and often very funny conversations discussing questions, challenges, and current trends in analytics. The Podcasts aren’t actually an hour long, the authors say that “due to the Canadian Exchange Rate, shows are only 40 minutes”.

CRO/UX: The UX Podcast by Per Axbom & James Royal-Lawson.

UX (User Experience) and CRO (Conversion Rate Optimisation) is a field in which you will never run out of things to learn.
