In an era defined by rapid change and complex markets, staying informed is no longer optional—especially in the evolving world of retail energy. “The Energy Insider Podcast” was created to meet that challenge head-on, offering listeners clear, thoughtful, and educational conversations with the people shaping the future of the competitive energy industry.
Published every ten days, The Energy Insider delivers timely, in-depth discussions that go far beyond headlines. Each episode features leading executives, innovators, and advocates from across the retail energy landscape, giving listeners rare access to firsthand insights from those actively driving policy, innovation, and consumer choice.
EMC’s Energy Insider Podcast is another way we are bringing learning and quality content year-round not merely at our conferences. We realize that after 12 years and 24 semi-annual conferences, EMC has become the epicenter of this industry, and we felt obliged to deliver even more value to our constituents.
One of the podcast’s greatest strengths is its depth. Rather than sound bites or surface-level commentary, The Energy Insider focuses on long-form conversations that unpack the real issues facing the industry—pricing volatility, regulatory issues, sustainability, innovation, and consumer empowerment. This format allows guests to explain not just what is happening in energy markets, but why it matters and how it impacts businesses and consumers alike.
Since launching in October 2025, The Energy Insider has welcomed an impressive roster of distinguished guests. These include Mr. Deryl Brown, Chairman of Atlantic Energy; Ms. Ashley Britt of Octopus Energy; and Mr. Andrew Singer of Constellation Energy Generation, each offering executive-level perspectives on market dynamics and innovation. The show also featured Ms. Misti Day of Spark Energy and Mr. Qadir Khan of CPV Retail Energy, who provide practical insights into retail strategy and customer engagement.
The podcast bridges industry expertise with broader public understanding. A standout extended episode featuring Mr. Frank Caliva of the Retail Energy Supply Association (RESA) explores how consumer energy choice benefits customers—clarifying a topic that is often misunderstood but critically important to energy policy and affordability.
The inclusion of voices such as Ms. Claire Dépit-Strömbäck of LEAN US as well as Ms. Deana Dennis of the Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire further underscores the show’s commitment to thoughtful dialogue on energy choice, sustainability and advocacy.
Beyond the energy sector alone, The Energy Insider recognizes the power of cross-industry perspective. An episode featuring NBA Hall of Famer Rick Barry highlights leadership, performance, and mindset—demonstrating how lessons from elite achievement apply equally to business and energy leadership.
For busy professionals, policymakers, investors, and informed consumers, The Energy Insider offers unmatched convenience. Episodes can be listened to during commutes, workouts, or downtime, transforming everyday moments into opportunities for learning and strategic insight.
At its core, The Energy Insider is more than a podcast—it is an ongoing education in how energy markets work and where they are headed. By consistently featuring top thought leaders and fostering meaningful conversations, the show empowers listeners to better understand the forces shaping one of the most critical industries in the modern economy.
In sum, The Energy Insider Podcast combines convenience, depth, diversity, and engagement in a way few other media can. By transforming everyday moments into opportunities for growth, the podcast plays a valuable role in helping energy professionals stay informed, curious, and connected to the world around them.
If you are a competitive energy professional or a service provider to the industry, and you are not yet following The Energy Insider Podcast on Spotify, now is the time to start!
