Many people spend hours driving to work or school, all of which can be used to learn a little something about money. So we have compiled a list of 7 podcasts that are perfect for beginner investors.
Stacking Benjamins
Stacking Benjamins covers a wide variety of topics from retirement planning to traveling on a budget. Joe Saul-Sehy, the host, and OG (stands for the Other Guy), the co-host, interview people from all types of backgrounds in a fun, lighthearted way. They know how to make learning about money fun and enjoyable.
The M.O.N.E.Y. show
Co-hosts Paula Pant and J Money are both financial bloggers that started a podcast together.

The Money Guy Show
Brian Preston and Bo Hansen are the voices behind this podcast. They are both certified financial planners with Preston & Cleveland Wealth Management.

Recent podcasts, for example, have focused on everything from robo advisors to the stock market to financial mistakes that professional athletes make.
The Money Tree Investing Podcast
The podcast can be a little dry at times but the information is very helpful to those that are just starting with investing. They have a panel of 4 hosts that take turns conducting interviews that are then discussed as a group. All 4 hosts come from different backgrounds and thus have different perspectives on investing. It is refreshing not hearing the same cookie cutter advice for every financial question.
