As a technology enthusiast I often follow many of the latest developments and breakthroughs in technology. One such breakthrough has been podcasts. Podcasts are simply online syndicated radio programs. Using an audio RSS aggregator such as iTunes you can subscribe and organize multiple podcasts in one place. Financial Podcasts if used properly and selectively can be a tremendous source of learning. While not a replacement for a proper financial education, they can be used as supplements while commuting to work, moving between classes and while doing work around the house. Allowing one to maximize the value of his/her time and to make the most of one’s MP3 player. Personally I listen to about 4 hours a week using Podcasts and they have been great value. Below are some of the most educational, finance and economics podcasts which I listen to:
The Financial Sense News Hour
Prominent guest experts and authors in the 2nd hour usually provide invaluable insight and perspectives.
