PDU FAQ

• Can I really earn 60 PDUs for free?

  Yes. All episodes in the playlist qualify for free PDUs under the "Education" category.

• Can I report all 60 PDUs at once?

  We don't recommend it because if you do, you will be audited.

  As a general rule, you should self-report PDUs in batches of 10-15 PDUs max. That lowers the likelihood of an "automatic audit".

• Do I have to listen on Spotify?

  No. You can find all the episodes from the spreadsheet also on our website, on YouTube and on Apple Podcasts.

  But Spotify is easier because we created the spreadhset specifically for the episodes that are available in the Playlist on Spotify. There is no playlist elsewhere.

• How do I document the episodes I listened to and PDUs earned?

  Download the Spotify 60 PDU spreadsheet (link above) and track each episode you listen to. The better you document your learning activities the more you can give evidence to PMI that you have indeed subscribed and listened to The PM Podcast in case your PDU claims are audited.

• How do I claim PDUs on the PMI website?

  Please watch the video above starting at 6:20 where you can see the exact steps.

• What should I enter for provider and title when reporting PDUs?

  When self-reporting your PDUs in PMI’s CCRS system, use The Project Management Podcast as the provider. For the title, enter something like Episodes 500 to 533 to reflect the range of episodes you’re reporting.

• How many PDUs should I report for each episode?

  Don't report PDUs for individual episodes. Instead, listen to about 10-15 hours across multiple episodes, and then report them all in one go. Here's how:

  Each episode in the spreadsheet includes its duration. Add up the minutes you listened to and convert the total to PDUs (60 minutes = 1 PDU). Use the spreadsheet to assign your PDUs to the appropriate talent triangle categories.

If you prefer another player, you can simply copy and paste your personal Supercast RSS feed URL into almost any app that supports RSS feeds.

  Yes! You’re free to use your premium subscription across all your devices—phone, tablet, or computer. Simply add your Supercast feed to each device’s podcast app, and you’ll have full access to premium episodes wherever you go.

• How do I watch the Premium Podcast on my computer?

  We recommend installing a podcast app on your computer and then following the relevant FAQ (above) on how to add the subscription. This setup makes things easier, because the app will automatically download new episodes as soon as we release them.

  If you prefer, you can also log in to Supercast online on your computer to browse and play episodes directly.

  And each time we publish a new episode, you’ll receive an email notification. Simply click the “Listen Now” link or button in that email to start streaming right away.

• Do I have to watch or can I just listen?

  Supercast delivers all premium episodes as audio, so you’re free to just listen—no watching required. We do record video versions of our interviews, though, and you have two ways to access them:

  1. In Your Podcast App: Open the episode’s show notes or description in your app. Near the top, you’ll find a “Play Video” link.
  2. Online at pmpodcast.supercast.com: Log in to your account, where you can browse all episodes and watch the videos.

Access & Listening in Apple Podcasts

  This should be fully automatic because you start your subscription from within the Apple Podcasts app on your device. Once you complete the subscription process through Apple, the podcast will appear in your Apple Podcasts app.

• Can I listen on multiple devices (phone, tablet, computer) with one premium subscription?

  Yes! You’re free to use your premium subscription across all your devices—phone, tablet, or computer. Just open the Apple Podcasts app on your Apple device and you will see the podcast.

• Do I have to watch or can I just listen?

  Apple Podcasts delivers all premium episodes as audio, so you’re free to just listen—no watching required. We do record video versions of our interviews, though, and here's to access them:

  1. Open the episode in the Apple Podcasts app.
  2. Click the "Play video" link near the top.

Earning & Claiming "Premium" PDUs

• How can I complete my 60 PDUs with The Premium PM Podcast?

  How to Record and Report Your PDUs

  1. Download the PDU Log File

     Visit pm-podcast.com/PDU-logfile to download the PDU log file spreadsheet.

  2. Select Episodes to Listen To

     Use the recommended episodes listed in the "PDU Roadmap" tab of the log file to guide your learning.

  3. Record Your Learning

     After listening to an episode, record the following details in the log file:

     • Episode number
     • Key learning points
     • Date you listened

  4. Report Your PDUs to PMI

     Go to ccrs.pmi.org and log into your account. Select "Report PDUs" and choose "Online or Digital Media." Fill in the required fields using the information from your log file:

     • Provider: The Project Management Podcast
     • Activity details: Episode range and learning notes
     • Dates: Start and end dates for the episodes
     • PDUs: Claim the hours earned based on your log file

  5. Submit Your Claim

     Review your entries, agree to PMI’s terms, and click "Submit." PMI will confirm receipt and notify you when your claim is approved.

• Do you provide PDU certificates?

  We don’t issue PDU certificates. Instead, you’ll need to self-report all PDUs to PMI. Be sure to keep track of which episodes you’ve listened to, and then follow PMI’s guidelines for claiming professional development units.

• How do I self-report PDUs to PMI?

  We have detailed instructions—including a video—to guide you through the self-reporting process in the PMI CCRS. Check them out here. Follow these steps, and you’ll be able to properly claim PDUs for qualifying episodes.

  Tip: Report your PDUs in batches of 7-10 PDUs because the more PDUs you report at the same time, the more likely you are to be audited.

• Which episodes are PDU-eligible?

  We carefully choose our guests and topics so that about 95% of our episodes qualify under PMI’s guidelines. The only ones that usually don’t qualify are episodes focused on PMP exam prep or on the details of earning and reporting PDUs.

  For a detailed breakdown of each episode’s PDU eligibility, please check out our episode spreasdheet.

Premium Perks & Resources

• Where can I find exclusive downloads/templates/checklists from guest speakers?

  You can find a link for exclusive downloads, templates, and checklists in the show notes / podcast description of select episodes. We always ask our guests if they have any additional “goodies,” but not all of them do. Because of this, you’ll only see these resources in a small number of episodes.

• How do I get early access to new episodes? (Supercast exclusive)

  Early Episode Access is Exclusively Available in Supercast.

  You don’t have to do anything because we’ll manage everything on our end.

  Once an episode is ready, we release it to Supercast premium subscribers first, and then a few days later, to everyone else. Please note that we record our interviews as a livestream on YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and X, so the recording is immediately available on those platforms.

• When and how do I receive the Career Optimization Package?

  You can download the Career Optimization Package in two simple ways. First, check the “You Are Subscribed” email you received from Supercast right after completing your subscription—you’ll find a download link there. If you don’t have that email handy, just visit this link to download it. The package is in a ZIP file, so save it to your computer, unzip it, and then open the individual files in MS Word or Excel.

• How can I access transcripts for each episode?

  We currently provide transcripts in PDF format. As of January 2025, here’s what you need to know:

  • Apple Podcasts: Automatically generated transcripts are available. For PDF transcripts: We only started working on this in March of 2025 and we are catching up to include them. Should be done in the second half of 2025.
  • Transcripts are available for episodes 140 through 485.
  • We’re adding transcripts for episode 486 onward as we publish new content.
  • Once we’re caught up on newer episodes, we plan to create transcripts for everything before episode 140.
  • Our goal is to have transcripts for all episodes in the second half of 2025.

  To download a transcript, open the episode’s description or show notes in your podcast app, scroll to the bottom, and click the link provided. Please note that it can take up to three weeks for a transcript to become available after an episode is published.

The PM Podcast on YouTube

Thanks for stopping by, but the episode you are looking for is not quite ready here on our website. Our episodes are released to premium subscribers first, with general access available about a week later.

If you've already watched the live stream on YouTube, LinkedIn, or Facebook and would like to claim PDUs, then you have two options:

1. Wait until the episode is available here on our website. It will include PDU reporting information.
2. Go ahead and report your PDUs to PMI "as you see fit". You can claim 0.25 PDUs for every 15 minutes of interview duration. So if the interview is 49 minutes long, you can claim 0.75 PDUs.
