10 Cannabis Podcasts That Should Be on Your Radar

Cannabis podcasts have become one of the most important parts of the cannabis media ecosystem. For founders, operators, investors, and policymakers, these shows are often where real conversations happen. They give leaders the space to explain how their business works, how they navigate regulation, and what actually drives growth in a highly regulated market.

At Marino, we have written about how the cannabis media landscape continues to evolve and why earned media plays such an important role in building credibility for cannabis brands. In a category where advertising is limited and social platforms are unpredictable, long-form formats like podcasts allow companies to tell their story in a way that feels authentic and credible.

Podcasts also reflect many of the same dynamics we discuss when we talk about why cannabis companies need strategic communications. They create space for education, thought leadership, and nuance, all of which are critical when you are operating in one of the most complex regulatory environments in the country.

Below are some of the cannabis podcasts that are actively publishing and worth having on your radar.

The Dime

One of the most business-focused cannabis podcasts in the industry. Hosted by Bryan Fields and Kellan Finney, The Dime regularly features CEOs, operators, and investors discussing how cannabis companies are built, financed, and scaled. It is a strong platform for founders and executives with a real growth or leadership story.

High Spirits 

High Spirits covers the cannabis industry through the lens of business, policy, and culture. The conversations are thoughtful and grounded in how the market actually works, making it a strong fit for spokespeople who can speak to both strategy and the realities of operating in cannabis.

Apartment 113 

Apartment 113 sits at the intersection of cannabis, psychedelics, and emerging industries. The show features long-form conversations with founders, operators, and creatives, making it a natural home for nuanced storytelling that goes beyond surface-level talking points.

Cannabinoid Connect 

Cannabinoid Connect is a long-running interview podcast featuring leaders from across the cannabis ecosystem. It is especially effective for founders, scientists, and executives who want to clearly explain their company, product, or research in a thoughtful format.

The Dude Grows Show 

One of the most established cultivation-focused podcasts in cannabis, Dude Grows is a go-to for growers, equipment manufacturers, and anyone focused on how cannabis is produced. It is particularly strong for brands and operators in the cultivation and production space.

Cannabis Tech Talks

Produced by the Cannabis and Tech Today team, Cannabis Tech Talks focuses on innovation, science, and the future of cannabis. It is a strong platform for technology companies, R&D teams, and brands pushing the industry forward.

Cannabis Legalization News

This podcast covers cannabis policy, regulation, and compliance in depth. It is a valuable platform for executives, attorneys, and advocates who can speak to how evolving laws are shaping the cannabis market.

Cannabis Investing Podcast

Focused on capital markets, public cannabis companies, and mergers and acquisitions, this podcast is a strong fit for investors, executives, and financial voices who understand where money is flowing in the industry and why.

Bite Me - The Show About Edibles

Bite Me explores the world of cannabis edibles, cooking, and consumer products. It is a great platform for chefs, product developers, and brands operating in the lifestyle and culinary side of cannabis.

Blunt Business

Blunt Business focuses on the people building cannabis companies. The show highlights founders, executives, and operators navigating one of the most complex and regulated industries in the country, making it a strong fit for leadership-driven storytelling.

For cannabis companies, visibility is not just about being seen. It is about being understood. Podcasts give founders and executives the space to explain what they do, why it matters, and how they operate in a highly regulated industry.

That kind of clarity also connects directly to the fundamentals we covered in Cannabis 101 and the reality that cannabis businesses are constantly navigating a complex web of rules and perceptions, as outlined in The Labyrinth of Legalization. Long-form conversations help cut through that noise.

When paired with a thoughtful public affairs and communications strategy, the kind we describe in Building a Strong Cannabis Brand Includes the Right Public Affairs Strategy, podcast appearances become more than just exposure. They become a way to build credibility, shape narrative, and create lasting trust with the audiences that matter most.
