My Top 4 Electrical Podcasts for Electricians ⚡🎧

There’s a lot of electrical content online now, but when it comes to podcasts that actually teach something useful, a few stand out.

These are my personal top 4 electrical podcasts. Not ranked in any particular order — just the ones I’ve listened to the most, enjoyed the most, and learned the most from over the years.

If you're trying to sharpen your NEC knowledge, understand the “why” behind code rules, or just hear real conversations from people who’ve actually been in the trade, these are solid listens.

1. Paul Abernathy – Master the NEC

If you're trying to really understand the NEC, this is one of the best podcasts out there.

Master the NEC Podcast focuses heavily on code education, interpretation, and real-world electrical scenarios.

Paul has decades of experience in the trade and on the education side, and he does a good job breaking down how the code actually works and why things are written the way they are.

If you're studying for an exam or just trying to improve your code knowledge, this one is definitely worth listening to.

2. Mike Holt – Mike Holt’s Podcast

Most electricians have heard the name Mike Holt at some point.

Mike Holt Podcast covers a wide range of electrical topics like:

• NEC discussions

• Industry changes

• Electrical education and training

• Interviews with people across the trade

Mike has been one of the biggest voices in electrical education for decades, and the podcast brings in a lot of knowledgeable people from different parts of the industry.

3. EC&M Magazine – EC&M Conversations

EC&M Conversations Podcast is a great listen if you want more of the big-picture industry perspective.

They cover topics like:

• Electrical safety

• Industry trends

• New technology in the trade

• Interviews with engineers, contractors, and other professionals

It’s a little different from the others because it focuses more on the electrical industry as a whole rather than just the code.

4. Dustin Stelzer – Electrician U Podcast

If you've spent any time on YouTube about electricity, you've probably come across Electrician U.

Electrician-U Podcast mixes education, trade experience, and real discussions about working as an electrician.

Dustin does a good job explaining electrical concepts in a way that's easy to understand but still informative, and it’s a solid listen for anyone in the trade.

Why Podcasts Are Great for Electricians

One thing I like about podcasts is you can listen pretty much anytime — driving to the jobsite, in the truck between calls, or even while working in the shop.

It’s an easy way to:

• Stay sharp on the NEC

• Hear conversations from people in the trade

• Learn from experienced electricians and educators

The electrical trade is always evolving, and podcasts are a good way to keep learning even when you're not actively studying.
