15 Best Insurtech Podcasts to Follow in 2026- Not Run by Insurance Technology Companies

If you work in insurance or insurtech, podcast recommendations are easy to find and hard to trust. A lot of “best insurtech podcast” lists quietly mix together independent voices, media brands, recruitment firms, insurers and software vendors as if they are all the same thing. They’re not. If you actually want sharp industry thinking rather than polished product marketing, it helps to know who is behind the microphone. Source

This list focuses on podcasts that cover insurance innovation, insurtech, distribution, AI, claims, underwriting and market change, without being run by insurance technology companies. That means I’ve deliberately excluded obvious vendor-owned shows such as Duck Creek’s Conversations on the Creek, even though it ranks well on directories and is often mentioned in roundup posts. Duck Creek’s own materials make clear that it is a company-hosted podcast series. Source Source

The result is a more useful watchlist: operator-led podcasts, independent hosts, media-led platforms, and a few broader insurance shows that consistently cover innovation and transformation. Where public proof points were visible, I’ve also noted Apple ratings, review counts or YouTube subscriber footprints. Source

1) Profiles in Risk

If you want volume, longevity and range, Profiles in Risk is one of the strongest listens in the category. It sits inside the Insurance Nerds ecosystem and has built an enormous back catalogue, with 869 episodes surfaced in Apple Podcasts and a 4.6-star rating from 49 reviewers. That combination of consistency and community credibility is hard to ignore. 

It also has visible YouTube traction, with the Insurance Nerds / Profiles in Risk channel showing roughly 5.4K subscribers in prior search results. That matters because it signals the show is not just publishing episodes; it has an audience that follows the content across platforms. Source

2) The Voice of Insurance

Hosted by Mark Geoghegan, The Voice of Insurance feels more like specialist journalism than podcast filler. The show is positioned as a platform for original ideas in insurance and features long-form interviews with senior leaders across the global insurance and reinsurance market. Source

It also brings solid public signals: previous results surfaced 5 stars from 27 Apple ratings, plus a YouTube channel with about 253 subscribers and more than 500 videos. That may not be YouTube-glamorous, but in niche B2B insurance media, it is a real footprint. Source 

3) Insurance Town

Insurance Town earns its place because it is lively, practical and deeply rooted in the day-to-day realities of the insurance business. Hosted by Heath Shearon, it leans more operator than analyst, which is exactly why many listeners find it useful. Source

The show also has measurable audience proof: prior results surfaced 4.8 stars from 53 Apple ratings, more than 300 episodes, and a YouTube channel with roughly 175 subscribers and 175 videos. It is not pure insurtech, but it consistently overlaps with innovation, automation and modern agency thinking. Source Source

4) The Leadership in Insurance Podcast

Run through FinPro rather than a software vendor, The Leadership in Insurance Podcast has become a reliable source for conversations on modern insurance businesses, talent, strategy and insurtech. It sits in that useful middle ground between executive interview show and industry intelligence channel. Source

Public indicators are decent too: previous results surfaced 307 episodes, a 5-star rating from 6 Apple ratings, and recent topics spanning AI transformation, agency-carrier connectivity and software scale-up stories. Source

5) InsTech – insurance & innovation

InsTech has long been one of the most recognisable names in insurance innovation media, especially in the UK market. Hosted by Matthew Grant and Robin Merttens, it has built a reputation for smart interviews and a clear focus on where technology is changing insurance. Source

In prior results, the show surfaced with around 300 episodes and 4.6 stars from 10 Apple ratings. Not a blockbuster consumer signal, but more than enough to show a durable niche audience in a specialist category. Source

6) Insurtech Leadership Podcast

Hosted by Joshua Hollander, Insurtech Leadership Podcast is one of the cleaner founder-and-operator listens in the space. It consistently surfaces entrepreneurs, execs and investors discussing what it actually takes to build or back insurance innovation. Source

Earlier research surfaced 214 episodes and a 4.4-star rating from 21 Apple ratings, which puts it firmly in the “credible niche benchmark” category. Source

7) Asia InsurTech Podcast

This was the big miss in the earlier cut, and frankly it is too important to leave out. Asia InsurTech Podcast is one of the few shows with a genuinely distinct geographic lens. Its site describes it as “the only podcast dedicated to InsurTech in Asia”, which immediately gives it a different value from the usual US- and UK-heavy lists. Source

It also fits the filter well. The team page shows the show is driven by Theresa Blissing, founder of Accelerating Insurance and InsurTech Amplified, alongside Michael Waitze, who has been running a media business hosting several tech podcasts in Asia since 2016. That is a founder/media-led setup, not a vendor-owned content arm. Source

8) The Future of Insurance

Bryan Falchuk’s The Future of Insurance is a useful counterweight to the more transactional side of the category. It leans into thought leadership, leadership change and the future shape of the market rather than just product demos dressed up as conversations. Source

Earlier research surfaced roughly 100 episodes and 4.7 stars from 7 Apple ratings. It is not the loudest show in the market, but it is one of the steadier ones. Source

9) Insurance Innovators Unscripted

If you want a podcast that is explicitly framed around innovation, Insurance Innovators Unscriptedbelongs on the list. The show is associated with Abel Travis and the Insurance Innovators platform, and its own article archive describes it as a podcast built to educate and inspire insurance innovation. Source

The public signal here is solid: prior results surfaced 4.8 stars from 32 ratings and around 50 episodes. That is more than enough to make it relevant for anyone benchmarking quality insurance innovation content. Source

10) The Insurance Podcast

Despite the broad name, The Insurance Podcast deserves inclusion because it repeatedly covers transformation, AI, startups and insurtech-adjacent themes. The site’s recent episodes include topics such as technology and transformation, scalable AI for insurance organisations, and the Insuretech Trust Index. That is very much in the lane. Source

It is also one of the better “bridge” podcasts between mainstream insurance and innovation coverage. Prior search results surfaced a 5/5 Apple rating and a separate reviews page, making it a useful benchmark if you want to understand how operators and industry insiders are talking about change. Source

11) Agency Nation Radio

Agency Nation Radio is broader than pure insurtech, but that is part of its strength. It comes out of the independent agent media world and covers agency leadership, talent, market shifts and technology change from the perspective of people actually trying to run businesses. Source

It also has scale: previous results surfaced roughly 709 episodes and a 4.3-star rating from 48 Apple ratings. For anyone working on distribution, agency transformation or practical adoption of new tech, it is still well worth a slot on the list. Source

12) InsurTechTalk

InsurTechTalk is one of those shows that quietly shows up everywhere serious insurance innovation people spend time. It is especially useful if you care about startup founders, ecosystem builders and the broader conversation around insurtech market development. Source

Earlier research surfaced around 145 episodes and a 5-star Apple rating from 3 ratings. That is a small review sample, but enough to show that listeners who do rate it tend to rate it highly. Source

13) Business of Insurance Podcast

Business of Insurance Podcast is a practical, profession-first listen. It is less obsessed with the latest shiny acronym and more focused on what it is actually like to work in insurance, build a career and understand the commercial side of the sector. That makes it a useful addition to this list, especially for people who want innovation discussion grounded in business reality. Source

If your audience spans founders, brokers, operators and insurance professionals rather than only insurtech insiders, this is exactly the kind of show that rounds out the list. Source

14) Insurance Covered

Hosted by Peter Mansfield, Insurance Covered takes a slightly different angle from many innovation shows. It aims to explain the inner workings of insurance in a short, accessible format, which makes it easier for newer entrants and cross-functional listeners to stay with the subject. Source

What earns it a place here is that it does not just do basics. Recent episodes have covered topics like silent AI, weather risk, medical malpractice and social insurance, which means it sits at the intersection of education, market context and emerging risk. Source

15) On Point – Insurance Journal

To round out the list, On Point – Insurance Journal brings a useful media-led perspective. Hosted by Peter van Aartrijk, the show focuses on conversations with insurance experts around technology, branding, culture and social media, which makes it relevant for listeners who care about how innovation gets adopted and communicated inside the industry. Source

It may not be “pure-play insurtech” in the narrowest sense, but that is fine. A good industry listening list should include the channels that shape industry thinking, not just the ones that use the latest buzzword in every episode title. Source

A quick note on podcasts I deliberately left out

Some podcasts are strong but do not fit the filter. Conversations on the Creek is one example: it ranks highly, but Duck Creek’s own materials show it is a company-hosted series, so it belongs in a vendor podcast list, not this one. Source

Similarly, The Hartford’s Small Biz Ahead is worth benchmarking, but it is an insurer-owned small business content property rather than an independent insurtech podcast. Useful? Yes. The same editorial category? No. Source

One more podcast worth your time if you care about MENA

Most “best insurtech podcast” lists are still heavily tilted toward the US and UK. That is exactly why FS Brew stands out. FS Brew is positioned around insurance and insurtech with a clear Middle East / MENA angle, and the show’s host bios reflect real operator experience across insurance, payments, startups and technology in the region. Source

There is also visible audience proof. Previous research surfaced about 16K YouTube subscribers and 214 videos for the FS Brew channel, plus a positive Apple review praising the show’s informative dialogue and guest quality. If you already follow the bigger US and UK podcasts and want something with stronger regional signal, FS Brew is a smart add to the queue, if we may say so! Source

Final thought

The best insurtech podcasts are not always the ones with the slickest production or the biggest corporate logo attached. More often, they are the shows run by people who are close enough to the market to ask sharp questions, but independent enough to avoid turning every episode into a sales deck with intro music. That is the sweet spot this list tries to capture.
