SUGTalks Podcast Passes 15,000 Downloads and a 2025 Roundup

We’re pleased to share that the SUGTalks podcast has reached another big milestone. We’ve now passed 15,000 downloads and published more than 130 episodes. A huge thank you to everyone who has listened, shared an episode or subscribed along the way. With the year coming to a close, we thought we’d share some episode highlights that might provide some interesting listening over the festive period.
 
We’ve published a really wide mix of episodes this year. Some of the most popular episodes continue to be those that break down complex SAP topics in a clear and practical way. Episodes such as Understanding SAP BTP and our episode on AI, Joule Studio and Data-Driven Success took a closer look at how to get maximum value from SAP BTP whilst highlighting what’s changing as AI and data play a bigger role.
 
We’ve also explored innovation and data in more depth. In Data-Driven Innovation: Inside SAP Business Data Cloud, we discussed how organisations are connecting data to real business outcomes. Meanwhile, Aligning AI with Business Value: People, Data and Governance focused on the foundations needed to make AI initiatives stick, going beyond the hype and investigating what it takes to get value from AI implementations.
 
In addition to technical deep dives, we’ve also looked at wider business issues. The Cost of Doing Nothing examined the risks of delaying transformation and avoiding difficult decisions Whilst our SAP Sovereign Cloud Explained and Understanding SAP ERP, private edition, transition option episodes helped clarify some of the most common questions members are asking around cloud strategy and SAP support.
 
We’ve also continued to record episodes with Simon Nicholls from our mental health partner Thrive. Episodes like From Negativity Bias to Positive Mindset, From Empathy to Leadership: Unlocking the Power of Emotional Intelligence and The Importance of Rest remain some of the most popular podcasts.
 
Looking ahead, there’s plenty more planned. In the coming months, we’ll be discussing SAP Customer Centre of Expertise, take a deep dive on everything AI with Mark Raben, as well as looking back at the 2025 UKISUG Connect keynotes.
