Podcasts have become one of the most engaging ways for cannabis professionals to absorb insights from industry leaders, legal experts, founders and analysts – all while on the move.
Whether you’re commuting, exercising or working, the best cannabis industry podcasts deliver business strategies, regulatory updates, cultural history and cultivation knowledge in digestible audio form.
In this article, we showcase top cannabis podcasts that every newcomer and seasoned pro should tune into to sharpen their industry IQ.
How this list was created
We, at Lumino, have had the pleasure of placing numerous rockstar candidates in some of the most well-renowned companies in this rapidly evolving cannabis industry.
Many of the candidates we’ve placed had no prior experience in cannabis – often with backgrounds in adjacent sectors such as FMCG or pharma. With their limited knowledge or exposure to the world of cannabis, we’ve helped prepare them for interviews (and their job once they landed it) by sharing with them cannabis industry must-reads and must-listens.
Having done this since 2018, we have narrowed down this list of resources and essentially built a directory that will help any newbie to the space hit the ground running.
As the cannabis industry continues to grow, we thought there was no better time than now to publicly share this compilation of the best cannabis books, cannabis news sites, and cannabis podcasts.
📍 NOTE: these lists are not ranked in any particular order.
