MY GRC POV Named a Top 20 Corporate Governance Podcast in the U.S.

MillionPodcasts just named MY GRC POV one of the Best 20 Corporate Governance Podcasts in the U.S., ranking the show #14 on its July 2026 list — alongside programs from the Council of Institutional Investors, Skadden, and Workiva.

It's the kind of headline that's easy to turn into a victory lap. I'd rather tell you what it actually is, why it happened, and where the show goes from here.

What the recognition actually is

MillionPodcasts is a podcast-first media database that replaces generic PR databases with podcast-specific contact and audience data. It's not an awards body, and the ranking criteria — ratings, reviews, monthly listeners, publishing activity, and subject authority — are self-reported and unaudited. So the honest framing is that MY GRC POV was named or ranked, not that it "won" anything.

That distinction matters to me, because this show exists to make technical risk language usable for the people who have to act on it — and that only works if I hold the same standard for accuracy when I'm talking about the podcast itself.

Why #14 is a more interesting number than it looks

Here's the part I didn't expect: MY GRC POV landed at #14 with a 5/5 Apple Podcasts rating built on a single review. A top-20 placement on that little review volume says the ranking is weighing niche relevance and consistency more heavily than raw popularity. In plain terms — the show is being recognized for who it's built for and how steadily it shows up for them, not for scale it hasn't tried to chase yet.

It's also the clearest evidence I've seen that reviews and follows are the cheapest, highest-leverage thing listeners can do for this show right now. One review got us noticed. Twenty-five would tell a very different story.

Why this podcast exists in the first place

MY GRC POV was built around a gap I ran into early in my own GRC career: there wasn't a central, honest resource for people trying to navigate governance, risk, and compliance work — whether they were new to the field or years into it. The show has three jobs: translate technical GRC and risk language into something executives and boards can actually act on, have unfiltered conversations about what this work is really like day to day, and serve as a how-to guide for practitioners at every stage.

Seeing that positioning picked up by a third-party database — this early, on this little review volume — is a signal the niche approach is working. It's not proof. It's a data point. But it's a good one.

Thank you

None of this happens without the guests who've been generous with their expertise — including Kayne McGladrey, Alishia Farr, Devon Euring, AJ Yawn, Jason Lipschultz, Shalini Rajoo, Samantha Simms, Brandyn McLeod, Lawanda "Elle Michell" Hall, and Da'Lacie McGrew — and without the compliance officers, risk managers, and GRC professionals who show up every episode.

What's next

Two things, directly:

• If you've been listening, thank you. A quick Apple Podcasts review — even a line or two — genuinely moves a niche B2B show like this one, and it's the fastest way to help more GRC and risk professionals find it.
• If you haven't listened yet, this is a reasonable week to start. The show is built for exactly the kind of translation work most of us are doing without a playbook.

Own the risk. Execute with intent. This is MY GRC POV.
