The Best Podcasts for Investing Beginners in 2021

Table of Contents

Introduction

In the past two years, two things have profoundly impacted my learning: audiobooks and podcasts.

I listen to roughly 100 podcasts per month, and usually at a 1.5x speed.

I have listened to some podcasts for quite a while, but some have been removed from my queue.

In this blog post, I lay out the best podcasts for beginner listeners in 2021!

What is a podcast?

You could call a podcast a new radio show.

From the start, I thought that podcasts only included shows where people would talk without a script.

Since I love learning, my mind was blown by so many great podcasts to listen to if I wanted to learn new topics.

A podcast can be in different formats such as:

Monolog
Interview
Moderator

Some podcasts come out once a week, and some come out daily.

What podcast application should you use?

There are a lot of different podcast applications to use. I have tried most of them, and I prefer Pocket Casts.

Some other alternatives are:

The iOS Podcast player (iOS)
Acast
Spotify
Google Podcasts (Android)
Overcast
