3 HR & Payroll Podcasts We Loved In 2024
Is it too late to announce our 3 favorite HR/Payroll-related podcasts for 2024?
Maybe. But we’re doing it anyway.
We consume a lot of HR and payroll content throughout the year, and these three shows stood out for being uniquely insightful, relevant, and just plain engaging. Whether you’re deep in the HRIS world, a payroll pro, or just podcast-curious, these are worth adding to your playlist.
The Chad & Cheese Podcast
Episode: Dr. Zeke Hernandez on Immigration Myths
If you haven’t tuned in to Chad Sowash and Joel Cheesman yet, you’re missing out on one of the boldest duos in HR podcasting. We discovered their show this year and were immediately drawn to their episode with Dr. Exequiel (Zeke) Hernandez, author of The Truth About Immigration.
This conversation does exactly what the book promises—dives deep into the reality of immigration, busting myths with data and compassion. It’s smart, human, and incredibly timely. Highly recommended listening for anyone trying to understand workforce trends through a global lens.
The Payroll Podcast
Episode: Gregory Russell Harmer, Global Leader of Payroll at Amazon
Past HRIS Careers guest Nick Day continues to crush it with his show, and this episode with Gregory Russell Harmer was no exception. Harmer, who heads up global payroll at Amazon, offered a masterclass in leadership, strategy, and what it takes to manage payroll at scale.
By the end of the episode, we found ourselves thinking: “We want to go work for this guy.”
HR & Payroll 2.0 Podcast
Episode: ADP Acquires WorkForce Software
Industry veterans Pete A. Tiliakos and Julie Fernandez bring deep analysis and insight to their podcast, and their breakdown of ADP’s acquisition of WorkForce Software was especially compelling.
Having worked within the ADP ecosystem before, this episode hit home. This acquisition felt like a major strategic move that could fill longstanding gaps in ADP’s offerings—and maybe even position them to gradually shift away from dependency on UKG solutions.
