There are many ways for you to learn finance. You can read financial books or take financial courses. But these days, thanks to the Internet, there are a lot of other ways to learn finance that are cheap and have high quality.
One of them is by listening to podcasts. Podcasts are audio programs that you can download automatically using tools like iTunes. You don’t need to download the episodes manually. Instead, your software will do it for you whenever there is a new episode available.
One podcast I’d like to highlight is Planet Money. This is a good financial podcast because it covers the popular events from financial perspective. For instance, these days the podcast covers health reform in several episodes. Since it covers familiar events, it will be easier for you to learn the financial principles behind them. In addition, it’s also well delivered which makes it fun to listen to.
You can try it yourself for several episodes. If it doesn’t meet your preferences, you can always unsubscribe it from within your software. On the other hand, if you find it useful you stay subscribed to it to keep learning from the new episodes.
If you want to, you can also explore other financial podcasts. All you need to do is browsing a podcast directory. There you will find a lot of podcasts that cover multiple financial topics. You can try them and subscribe to the ones you like.
