The best logistics podcasts in 2026 include The Logistics of Logistics, Supply Chain Now, WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Overdrive Radio, Talking Logistics, The Loadstar, Inbound Logistics, Freight 360 and Everything is Logistics. Each of the 15 shows below was checked in October 2026 and had published an episode within the last few months, so the list contains only active shows.
The shows are grouped by what the listener does: freight and brokerage, trucking, supply chain strategy, global trade and ocean, and logistics marketing. Every entry gives the host or publisher, the format, who it suits and an official link. Frequency is stated only where the show’s own page or feed shows it.
What are the best freight and brokerage podcasts?
The strongest freight and brokerage shows are The Logistics of Logistics, The Freight Pod, FreightCaviar and Freight 360, which together cover brokerage operations, founders’ stories, fraud and technology.
| Show | Host or publisher | Format | Best for | Official URL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Logistics of Logistics | Joe Lynch | Weekly guest interviews with founders and executives (more than 800 episodes since 2018) | Owners and sales leads in forwarding, brokerage, 3PL and logistics technology | https://www.thelogisticsoflogistics.com/latest-episodes/ |
| The Freight Pod | Andrew Silver, former founder and CEO of MoLo Solutions | Long-form interviews (often over an hour) with CEOs of brokerages, carriers and technology firms | Brokerage owners and executives who want career and company-building stories | https://www.buzzsprout.com/2250931 |
| The FreightCaviar Podcast | Paul-Bernard Jaroslawski, Reed Loustalot and Lev Krasnopolskiy | Weekly interviews with freight and shipping founders and executives, with a companion newsletter | Brokers and 3PL leaders | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-freightcaviar-podcast/id1609852288 |
| Freight 360 | Freight 360 (freight360.net) | Numbered episodes (Episode 357 is the latest on the site) on broker sales, carrier vetting, fraud and regulation | New and working freight brokers and agents | https://www.freight360.net/podcast/ |
The Logistics of Logistics is the most useful show for a logistics company that wants to understand how peers think. Recent episodes covered the Federal Maritime Commission, warehouse automation, yard management and private fleets, so the range is wide. Because guests are often vendors and founders, it also works as a map of who sells what in logistics technology.
The Freight Pod is slower and deeper. Recent guests include the CEO of ShipStation Global and the founder of Triumph, and episodes run well over an hour. It suits a long drive more than a quick commute.
Freight 360 is aimed at the broker’s daily job. A February 2026 episode, for example, discussed whether 2026 is a good year to become a freight broker, covering spot rates, carrier vetting and fraud. If the listener is weighing a brokerage start, that episode pairs well with a licensing guide.
What are the best trucking podcasts?
The best trucking podcasts for carriers and owner-operators are WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, Overdrive Radio and The Lombard Trucking Show, because each one covers regulation, freight fraud and the economics of running trucks.
| Show | Host or publisher | Format | Best for | Official URL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WHAT THE TRUCK?!? | FreightWaves, hosted by Malcolm Harris (joined September 2025) | Several interviews a month with fleet, insurance, finance and technology guests | Fleet owners, brokers and anyone following trucking news | https://www.freightwaves.com/news/category/media/podcast/what-the-truck |
| Overdrive Radio | Overdrive magazine, hosted by Todd Dills | News and interviews on regulation, freight fraud and small-fleet business | Owner-operators and small fleets | https://www.overdriveonline.com/overdrive-radio |
| The Lombard Trucking Show | Michael Lombard | Opinion and interview show on freight and fitness, with a live show on Tuesdays | Owner-operators and drivers | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lombard-trucking-show/id1590413023 |
WHAT THE TRUCK?!? has run since 2018 and is FreightWaves’ flagship trucking podcast. Recent episodes featured Amazon Relay on freight fraud and safety, trailer leasing, and an insurance executive on predatory towing, so the topics lean toward the operating and financial problems of fleets.
Overdrive Radio comes from a magazine that has covered independent truckers for decades. Its September 2026 episode on cargo theft by fraud and a White House task force shows its focus on the issues that hit small carriers directly.
The Lombard Trucking Show is a personality-driven show. It mixes freight-market commentary with fitness for drivers, and a January 2026 episode confirmed the live Tuesday schedule.
What are the best supply chain strategy podcasts?
Supply Chain Now, Talking Logistics, Let’s Talk Supply Chain and Inbound Logistics are the main shows for supply chain strategy, covering shippers, 3PLs, technology and operations.
| Show | Host or publisher | Format | Best for | Official URL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Supply Chain Now | Scott W. Luton and co-hosts | Weekly podcast and livestream, plus spin-off shows such as The Buzz and Logistics with Purpose | Supply chain managers, procurement and 3PL executives | https://supplychainnow.com/podcasts-and-livestreams/ |
| Talking Logistics | Adrian Gonzalez (Talking Logistics) | Biweekly conversations with thought leaders, over 200 episodes since 2015 | Shipper and 3PL executives following technology and strategy | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-logistics-podcasts/id1046127202 |
| Let’s Talk Supply Chain | Sarah Barnes-Humphrey | Guest interviews, over 600 episodes since 2016 | Supply chain professionals and technology vendors | https://letstalksupplychain.com/podcasts |
| Inbound Logistics Podcast | Inbound Logistics, hosted by Amy Roach | Weekly interviews on transportation, warehousing and fulfillment, plus an AI-voiced education series | Shippers and 3PL buyers | https://www.inboundlogistics.com/podcast/ |
Supply Chain Now is the broadest of the four. Its network includes shows on procurement, veterans, technology and business history, so listeners can pick a lane. Its latest episodes ran through October 2026.
Talking Logistics is led by Adrian Gonzalez and has a strong shipper-side and technology slant. The latest episode checked, dated August 30, 2026, covered predictive safety in fleets.
Inbound Logistics doubles as a trade-magazine brand, so its podcast is useful for understanding what shippers and 3PL buyers read. A September 28, 2026 episode featured the CEO of DHL E-Commerce Americas on the company’s USPS partnership.
What are the best global trade and ocean podcasts?
The Loadstar’s News in Brief podcast is the most consistent weekly ocean and air freight news show in this list, and Trade Talks covers the economics and law of tariffs and trade policy.
| Show | Host or publisher | Format | Best for | Official URL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Loadstar: News in Brief | The Loadstar, hosted by Charlotte Goldstone | Weekly news roundup numbered by week (Week 39 of 2026 covered transpacific rates and the US-Canada trade dispute) | Forwarders, NVOCCs and shippers tracking ocean and air markets | https://the-loadstar-podcast.castos.com/ |
| Trade Talks | Chad P. Bown and Soumaya Keynes | Economists’ discussion of trade policy and tariffs (Episode 216 aired May 26, 2026) | Importers, customs brokers and trade-policy watchers | https://tradetalkspodcast.com/podcast/ |
The Loadstar is a London-based freight news outlet, and its weekly podcast is a short way to catch up on rates, capacity, surcharges and software news in ocean and air freight. For US forwarders it adds a European view that US-only shows miss.
Trade Talks is not a freight show. Hosts Chad Bown and Soumaya Keynes discuss tariffs and trade policy, and the May 2026 episode centered on their book How to Win a Trade War. Customs brokers and importers use it for the policy background behind duty changes.
What are the best logistics marketing podcasts?
Everything is Logistics and Fr8 Marketing Gurus are the two active shows that treat marketing and sales for logistics companies as the main subject.
| Show | Host or publisher | Format | Best for | Official URL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Everything is Logistics | Blythe Brumleve | Weekly editorial and interview show on freight, technology, storytelling and marketing | Logistics owners and marketers | https://everythingislogistics.com/ |
| Fr8 Marketing Gurus | Jennie Malafarina, CEO of Virago Marketing | Interviews on B2B marketing in trucking, logistics and supply chain (latest checked episode: July 20, 2026) | Marketing and sales leads at carriers, brokers and 3PLs | https://viragomarketing.com/fr8-marketing-gurus-podcast/ |
Everything is Logistics is run by Blythe Brumleve, and the show’s site lists partnerships with Manifest and the Logistics World Summit. Its editorial angle makes it a good source for how logistics brands tell stories.
Fr8 Marketing Gurus covers topics such as marketing-qualified versus sales-qualified leads and data-driven marketing decisions, which are the daily questions of a logistics marketing team.
What are the trending topics in logistics podcasts?
The recurring topics across these shows in 2026 are freight fraud and cargo theft, AI in brokerage and operations, transpacific rates and tariffs, regulation, and warehouse automation.
- Freight fraud and cargo theft: Overdrive Radio (September 2026), The Lombard Trucking Show (February 2026) and WHAT THE TRUCK?!? (Amazon Relay episode, June 2026) all gave it air time.
- AI and automation: Freight 360’s Episode 357 links AI, fraud and new regulations, and The Logistics of Logistics ran warehouse automation episodes in July 2026.
- Ocean rates and trade policy: The Loadstar’s week 36 to week 39 episodes covered port congestion, air freight rates, transpacific rates and trade disputes.
- Regulation: The Logistics of Logistics interviewed a guest on why the Federal Maritime Commission exists and how it protects US supply chains (September 2026).
- Yard and warehouse bottlenecks: Yard management and warehouse labor were topics in September 2026.
These themes also work as a content calendar. A logistics company that publishes on the same questions its buyers hear discussed is covering demand that already exists. The approach is described in the guide to logistics content marketing.
What should you listen to by role?
Match the show to the job: brokers start with Freight 360 and The Freight Pod, carriers with Overdrive Radio and WHAT THE TRUCK?!?, forwarders with The Loadstar, shippers and 3PLs with Supply Chain Now and Talking Logistics, and marketers with Fr8 Marketing Gurus.
- Freight broker or agent: Freight 360, The Freight Pod, FreightCaviar.
- Owner-operator or small fleet: Overdrive Radio, The Lombard Trucking Show, WHAT THE TRUCK?!?.
- Freight forwarder or NVOCC: The Loadstar, The Logistics of Logistics, Trade Talks.
- Customs broker or importer: Trade Talks, The Loadstar.
- 3PL or warehouse operator: Inbound Logistics, Supply Chain Now, Talking Logistics.
- Marketing or sales lead: Fr8 Marketing Gurus, Everything is Logistics.

How can a logistics company use podcasts to reach buyers?
A logistics company can use podcasts in two ways: appear as a guest on shows its buyers or peers already listen to, or host its own interview show. Guesting costs time and no media budget, which makes it the better first step.
Guesting. Hosts of shows like The Logistics of Logistics and Fr8 Marketing Gurus interview operators and founders every week. A pitch works when it offers one specific, operational topic (a lane, a regulation change, a lesson from a specific problem) instead of a company introduction. Keep a short page for each guest appearance on the company website and share the episode on LinkedIn.
Hosting. A company podcast works when the guests are shippers, carriers and partners the sales team wants to build a relationship with. An interview is a reason to contact a shipper’s logistics manager who would ignore a cold pitch. It needs a consistent schedule, so start with a small number of episodes and a clear format. The wider content approach for forwarders is covered in content marketing for freight forwarders.
Events. Hosts and guests also meet at industry events. Many of the shows above partner with conferences, and the calendar is in our guide to logistics conferences.
Frequently asked questions
What podcasts do truckers listen to?
Owner-operators and small fleets commonly follow Overdrive Radio, WHAT THE TRUCK?!? and The Lombard Trucking Show. These shows cover regulation, freight fraud and the business of running a truck. Drivers who want shorter, lifestyle-focused content often add other independent driver shows.
What are the trending topics in logistics?
In 2026 the recurring subjects are freight fraud and cargo theft, AI in brokerage and warehouse operations, ocean and transpacific rates, trade policy and tariffs, and regulation. These themes appear in several of the shows listed above.
Which logistics podcast is best for freight brokers?
Freight 360 is built around the broker’s daily work: sales, carrier vetting, fraud and regulation. The Freight Pod and FreightCaviar add longer interviews with brokerage founders and executives.
Are there logistics podcasts about marketing?
Yes. Fr8 Marketing Gurus, hosted by Jennie Malafarina of Virago Marketing, and Everything is Logistics, hosted by Blythe Brumleve, both cover marketing and sales for logistics companies.
How do you get invited as a guest on a logistics podcast?
Send the host a short pitch with one specific operational topic, a named speaker and proof of experience. Hosts book guests who can teach something concrete, so a lane, rule change or problem solved works better than a company overview.
