I’ve been hosting eCommerce Fastlane since 2016. In that time, I’ve recorded nearly 450 episodes, interviewed hundreds of the smartest operators in this industry, and listened to more podcast content than I care to admit. I know what good looks like – and I know what wastes your time.
1. eCommerce Fastlane
Host: Steve Hutt
Best for: Shopify merchants who want proven, app-level growth strategies without the fluff
Listen on: eCommerceFastlane.com | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube
I’ll be upfront – this is my show, and I’m including it because I genuinely believe it belongs on this list. Since 2016, eCommerce Fastlane has been built around one idea: give Shopify merchants the exact strategies, tools, and expert conversations they need to grow profitably right now.
We’re in Season 9, with 447 episodes published and over 50,000 downloads a month. Every episode is built around a specific, actionable outcome. No theory, no vague inspiration – just the stuff you can implement this week. Guests include founders who’ve scaled to eight figures, Shopify experts, and the operators behind the tools you’re already using.
If you run a Shopify store or work with DTC brands, this is the show I built for you.
2. Shopify Masters
Host: Shuang Esther Shan
Best for: Founders who want real brand-building stories from entrepreneurs who’ve done it
Listen on: Shopify.com | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube
Shopify’s official podcast has been running since 2014 and now has over 600 episodes. The format is straightforward: founder interviews focused on how real businesses were built, scaled, and made profitable on Shopify. MANSCAPED, Wild Rye, Waterboy – the guest roster reads like a who’s who of brands that figured it out.
The show publishes twice a week, which means there’s always something new. If you’re looking for inspiration grounded in actual business decisions rather than theory, this is a reliable weekly listen.
3. The Ecommerce Playbook
Hosts: Taylor Holiday and Richard Gaffin
Best for: DTC operators who want data-driven strategy from people managing real ad spend at scale
Listen on: CommonThreadCo.com | Apple Podcasts | Spotify
Taylor and Richard come out of Common Thread Collective, one of the most respected DTC growth agencies in the industry. What makes this show different is the data. They’re not talking about what worked for one brand – they’re sharing patterns from a portfolio of growing DTC businesses, which means the insights are more reliable and more broadly applicable.
Their episode on antifragile ecommerce tactics is required listening if you’re trying to build a brand that survives market volatility. If you’re spending real money on paid acquisition and want to understand attribution, creative strategy, and scaling profitably, this is the show for you.
4. EcomCrew
Hosts: Mike Jackness and Dave Bryant
Best for: Ecommerce owners who want the unfiltered truth about running product-based businesses
Listen on: EcomCrew.com | Apple Podcasts | Spotify
Mike and Dave are 7-figure ecommerce operators who have been publishing weekly since 2015 – over 629 episodes and counting. What sets EcomCrew apart is the candor. They talk about the deals that went sideways, the suppliers who let them down, the strategies that didn’t work. That kind of honesty is rare in this space and genuinely valuable.
If you sell physical products – whether on Shopify, Amazon, or both – EcomCrew is one of the most grounded, practical shows available. No hype, no guru energy. Just two operators who’ve been in the trenches for a decade sharing what they know.
5. Ecommerce Fuel
Host: Andrew Youderian
Best for: Independent ecommerce store owners doing six and seven figures who want peer-level conversation
Listen on: EcommerceFuel.com | Apple Podcasts | Spotify
Andrew Youderian built Ecommerce Fuel for a specific audience: independent store owners who have moved past the beginner phase and want to talk to other serious operators. The show has been running for years and maintains a reputation for depth over breadth.
Andrew also runs the EcommerceFuel community, which is one of the most respected private forums for high-revenue ecommerce operators. That community connection means the conversations on the podcast often go further than what you’d hear elsewhere. If you’re doing real revenue and want peer-level insight, this one belongs in your rotation.
6. Honest Ecommerce
Host: Chase Clymer
Best for: Ecommerce entrepreneurs who want real numbers from real store owners
Listen on: HonestEcommerce.co | Apple Podcasts | Spotify
Chase Clymer has built a reputation for getting guests to share things most podcast hosts can’t get out of them – actual CAC numbers, the campaigns that almost broke their business, the pivots that saved it. The show title is accurate. It’s honest in a way that most business podcasts aren’t.
Episodes run about 30 minutes, which makes them easy to fit into a commute or workout. If you’ve ever wished you could sit across from another store owner and get the real story, Honest Ecommerce is the closest thing to that experience.
7. The Unofficial Shopify Podcast
Host: Kurt Elster
Best for: Shopify store owners who want tactical CRO, design, and marketing advice
Listen on: UnofficialShopifyPodcast.com | Apple Podcasts | Spotify
Kurt Elster is a longtime Shopify partner and consultant who has spent years helping merchants optimize their stores. The Unofficial Shopify Podcast reflects that background – it’s tactical, specific, and focused on the decisions that actually move conversion rates and revenue.
If you want to go deep on store design, checkout optimization, marketing automation, or the strategies behind fast-growing Shopify brands, Kurt’s show consistently delivers. The “unofficial” framing is a bit tongue-in-cheek – this is one of the most trusted Shopify-focused shows in the space.
8. eCommerce Evolution
Host: Brett Curry
Best for: DTC brands looking to scale profitably through paid media and video creative
Listen on: OMGCommerce.com | Apple Podcasts | Spotify
Brett Curry runs OMG Commerce, a performance marketing agency that manages significant ad spend for growing ecommerce brands. That agency background gives eCommerce Evolution a perspective you don’t get from most shows – Brett is seeing what’s actually working across dozens of brands simultaneously, not just one.
The show is particularly strong on paid media strategy, video creative, and the intersection of brand building with performance marketing. If you’re trying to figure out how to scale on Google and YouTube without destroying your margins, this is required listening.
9. My Wife Quit Her Job
Host: Steve Chou
Best for: Ecommerce founders who want deep tactical breakdowns from someone who built a real business from scratch
Listen on: MyWifeQuitHerJob.com | Apple Podcasts | Spotify
Steve Chou’s story is one of the most relatable in ecommerce – he and his wife built a profitable online store to replace her income after she left her job, documented everything, and turned that experience into one of the most trusted resources in the space.
The show goes deep. Steve extracts every detail from his guests, and the episodes are packed with specific strategies you can implement immediately. Across hundreds of episodes, you’ll find content on Amazon, Shopify, SEO, social media, email marketing, and entrepreneurship broadly. It’s a rich archive and a consistently strong weekly show.
10. Down to Chat (DTC)
Hosts: Cody Plofker and Eli Weiss
Best for: DTC operators who want full-funnel perspective from acquisition through retention
Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify
Cody Plofker brings deep paid acquisition expertise, and Eli Weiss brings an equally deep retention and CX focus. Together, they cover the full spectrum of what it takes to build a modern DTC brand – and the chemistry between them makes the show genuinely enjoyable to listen to.
This is the show for operators who think about customer lifetime value as seriously as they think about CAC. Their conversations on influencer marketing, retention strategy, and brand building are some of the most practical and current you’ll find anywhere in the ecommerce podcast space.
11. The Jason and Scot Show
Hosts: Jason Goldberg and Scot Wingo
Best for: Ecommerce professionals who want sharp industry analysis and trend coverage
Listen on: JasonDScot.com | Apple Podcasts | Spotify
Jason Goldberg is one of the most respected voices in digital commerce, and Scot Wingo co-founded ChannelAdvisor. Together they produce a show that’s part industry news, part sharp analysis, and part genuinely entertaining conversation between two people who know this space inside and out.
If you want to understand where ecommerce is heading – not just what’s working today but what the macro trends mean for your business – The Jason and Scot Show is one of the best places to get that perspective. They cover Amazon, retail, DTC, and the broader commerce landscape with more depth than almost anyone else.
12. Future Commerce
Hosts: Phillip Jackson and Brian Lange
Best for: Brand leaders who want to understand the cultural forces shaping commerce
Listen on: FutureCommerce.com | Apple Podcasts | Spotify
Future Commerce is unlike anything else on this list. Phillip and Brian explore commerce through the lens of culture – what it means to buy and sell in a world where media, identity, and technology are constantly intersecting. Forbes called it one of the top tech podcasts worth your time, and that reputation is well-earned.
This is not a tactics show. It’s a thinking show. If you want to be challenged, to see your industry from a different angle, and to understand the forces that will shape consumer behavior over the next decade, Future Commerce is essential. With over 512 episodes and a track record since 2016, the archive alone is worth exploring.
13. Retail Remix
Host: Alicia Esposito
Best for: Ecommerce and retail professionals who want enterprise-level strategy and trend analysis
Listen on: RetailTouchPoints.com | Apple Podcasts | Spotify
Alicia Esposito hosts Retail Remix through Retail TouchPoints, one of the most respected B2B media brands in the retail industry. The show brings in senior leaders from major retail and ecommerce brands to discuss strategy, technology, and what’s actually working at scale.
If you want to understand how larger brands are thinking about omnichannel, personalization, loyalty, and the future of retail – and how those trends trickle down to DTC and Shopify operators – Retail Remix gives you that perspective in a format that’s accessible and consistently well-produced.
14. Ecommerce Coffee Break
Host: Claus Lauter
Best for: Online sellers who want short, focused episodes covering the latest ecommerce marketing strategies
Listen on: EcommerceCoffeeBreak.com | Apple Podcasts | Spotify
Claus Lauter has been in digital marketing and ecommerce for over 25 years, and that experience shows in how he runs his interviews. The Ecommerce Coffee Break is built for efficiency – episodes are short, focused, and designed to be consumed on the go. With over 450 episodes published and new content released multiple times a week, there’s always something relevant in the feed.
The show covers a wide range of topics including paid ads, email marketing, AI, DTC strategy, and Shopify-specific tactics. Guests have included experts from Google, Gorgias, Yotpo, and many of the tools and platforms you’re likely already using. If you want practical, no-fluff advice in a format that respects your time, this one delivers.
15. The Ecommerce Playbook
Host: Susan Bradley
Best for: Shopify store owners who want a data-driven, marketing-first approach to building predictable sales
Listen on: TheSocialSalesGirls.com | Apple Podcasts | Spotify
Susan Bradley built The Social Sales Girls around one core belief: that ecommerce success comes from becoming a marketing-first store owner. Her show, The Ecommerce Roadmap, takes listeners behind the scenes of real stores – showing what’s working, what isn’t, and what the data actually says.
Susan combines solo episodes with guest interviews featuring founders and growth consultants. The result is a show that feels grounded in reality, not theory. If you’re building a Shopify store and want a clear framework for driving profitable, predictable sales, this is one of the most practical shows in the space.
How to Choose the Right Ecommerce Podcast for You

- If you’re scaling a Shopify store: eCommerce Fastlane, The Ecommerce Playbook, and The Unofficial Shopify Podcast are built for exactly where you are.
- If you’re running paid media: eCommerce Evolution and Down to Chat (DTC) go deep on acquisition and the full customer journey.
- If you sell on Amazon and Shopify: EcomCrew and My Wife Quit Her Job cover both channels with equal depth.
