It's a new year, and that can only mean one thing.

We have all tossed the clothes off the handles of our treadmills and are looking for good stuff to listen to while we meet those fitness goals.

You're in luck, because I've found some podcasts that are specifically created for community managers.

The Community Signal podcast is fairly new, but its host, Patrick O'Keefe, is an "OG" community manager. The podcast is nicely produced, and Patrick has access to great guests from around the social globe.

Community Pulse is a podcast that I stumbled across, and I'm not sure whether it's still active, but there is a fantastic interview with Jono Bacon in the second episode. Let's hope that Mary and Jason re-ignite the podcast this year.

To round out the list, I've included a great series of community manager interviews from The Community Roundtable podcast, as well as the ever-popular Social Pros from Jay Baer. Although Social Pros isn't specifically targeted at community managers, there's a ton of great information in the podcast that is relevant for community professionals.
