What to Talk About on Your Business Podcast... Even If You’re Not Sure What to Say

One of the biggest blockers for businesses thinking about launching a podcast is this: What would we even talk about?
It’s a fair question and one we hear all the time at Pod Anywhere. But the good news is, your business is already full of ideas. You just need to uncover them, shape them into episodes, and record them with clarity and confidence.
This post is here to help you do exactly that.
Start With Strategy, Not Small Talk
Your podcast doesn’t need to be casual chatter or generic interviews. Instead, link every episode idea to something strategic:
- Your company values
- Your customer journey
- Your industry trends
- Your team’s internal culture
If it matters to your business, it can become podcast content.
8 Proven Business Podcast Episode Ideas
Here are some tried-and-tested formats we’ve seen work brilliantly for brands of all sizes:
1. Founder or Leadership Story
“Why we do what we do” — share your journey, values, and lessons learned.
2. Client Success Story
Interview a customer about their experience, challenges, and outcomes. (Win-win: it’s content for you and exposure for them.)
3. Meet the Team
Give your people a voice. It humanises your brand and boosts internal pride.
4. Industry Explainer
Break down something complex: AI trends, new regulations, upcoming shifts. Become the go-to voice in your space.
5. Behind the Scenes
Take listeners inside your operations — how you build, deliver, think, or collaborate.
6. Culture Episode
Record during team events, CSR initiatives, or launches. Let your values shine through real moments.
7. Rapid Fire Q&A
Let a guest or leader answer quick-fire questions from employees or customers. Authentic, fun, and informative.
8. Product or Service Deep Dive
Talk through a feature, solution, or approach but always focus on the story, not the sales pitch.
Create a “Series, Not One-Offs” Mindset
If you sit down to come up with one good episode, you might get stuck.
Instead, plan in short series:
- A 4-part founder’s journey
- A 6-episode client spotlight mini-series
- Monthly culture conversations
Planning in clusters helps you stay on message and makes production easier.
Why Talking Isn’t the Hard Part — Starting Is
The best podcast content doesn’t come from perfect speakers. It comes from real conversations. The more relaxed and consistent you are, the more your voice will resonate.
With Pod Anywhere, we help you:
- Brainstorm ideas and series formats
- Prep your team with talking points
- Record in a relaxed, multi-camera setup
- Edit episodes for pace, polish, and brand consistency
No scripting. No jargon. Just your ideas ,refined, captured, and elevated.
Takeaway: A Quick Prompt List
Still stuck? Try filling in the blanks:
- “Our customers always ask us about…”
- “The biggest lesson we’ve learned in the past year is…”
- “If we could change one thing about our industry, it would be…”
- “Behind the scenes, we’re most proud of…”
- “Most people don’t realise we…”
Each of those can become a 10–20 minute episode your audience will value.
