After two years of producing Almost Productive and nearly 30 episodes released, we’ve covered a lot of ground. An interesting part about this creative endeavor is learning what topics resonate most with our audience. We regularly track metrics for episodes and take inspiration from well-performing themes to plan future topics. (This is a piece of advice you can use for any medium: Follow the data, and create more content based on what your audience enjoys or responds to most.) So, without further ado, here are our most popular episodes.

Our Favorite Episodes

  • Shawn: My favorites to do are the Super Bowl Commercials. It’s topical, our tastes are different and we get to complain (which we do very well). 
  • Julie: Web accessibility. We strive to distill aspects of the marketing landscape to make them easy to understand. A lot of times, I learn new things myself. This episode had some great information for businesses on the what, why and how of making the online world easy for everyone to use.
  • Nick: The Super Bowl Commercial Coffee Break episodes — whenever there's a chance to talk about football, I'm a fan. And the Snake Oil Coffee Break episode is also a favorite because I love some good old-fashioned, friendly competition.
  • Addie: Best Super Bowl Commercials. As a football fan and marketing professional, the Super Bowl is my Super Bowl. I love breaking down brand strategies, praising successful spots and (as nicely as possible) critiquing brands that bombed. Our LinkedIn Marketing episode is up there too — it’s a great platform for businesses, and I enjoyed getting into the nitty gritty.
