Investing is one of the best ways to build wealth, but that requires you make smart investments. If you’re not careful, it can be an equally good way to waste a fortune. Fortunately, today there is more investment information than ever, with articles, TV shows and podcasts to keep you informed.
We’ll take a look at some of the top investing podcasts, what makes them stand out and why you should add them to your podcast feed.
Bigger pockets
The BiggerPockets podcast has been around since 2013 and is considered one of the best real estate investing podcasts. It includes expert interviews, actionable tips, advice and strategies to help you build your real estate portfolio. If you’re interested in real estate investing, this podcast is a great place to start.
This podcast covers topics such as house flipping, rental properties, wholesaling and property management. And for those who are just starting out and want to be a little friendlier to newcomers, they also have the Real Estate Rookie Podcast to help you learn the basics.
Stacking Benjamins
This podcast is co-hosted by Joe Saul-Sehy and Josh Bannerman, a former financial advisor and certified financial planner, respectively. This show focuses on topics that will help you build your personal fortune. The hosts talk about saving, investing, wealth creation and risk management. The hosts often feature guests, who may include financial advisors, authors and entrepreneurs.
We study billionaires
If someone is a billionaire, he or she is probably doing something right, right? That’s the idea behind the We Study Billionaires podcast, which explores the fascinating minds of Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel and many more. Preston Psyh and Stig Brodersen host the podcast and also receive help from several other hosts.
During the show, the presenters dive deep into topics such as value investing, stock analysis and macroeconomic trends. They also feature experts from various fields, including economists, authors, and financial professionals.
Invest like the best
Do you want to invest like the best? If so, join host Patrick O’Shaughnessy as he has in-depth conversations with experts in investing, business, technology and entrepreneurship. The show is not just about investing, but also covers broader themes such as decision-making, mental models and the habits of successful people. Successful investing often requires more than carefully selecting one or two investments. It takes a more holistic approach, and that’s where this show pays off.
The Peter Schiff Show
Peter Schiff is an economist, stockbroker and financial commentator. He is the CEO and chief strategist of Euro Pacific Capital Inc., a full-service investment advisor and fee-based asset management company. Schiff rose to fame when he made predictions about the 2008 financial crisis, including a prediction of falling real estate prices. His podcast, The Peter Schiff Show, is a popular podcast focused on economics, finance and politics. He also discusses topics such as inflation, monetary policy, interest rates and cryptocurrencies.
Choose FI
Launched in 2016, ChooseFI is a newcomer compared to some of the podcasts on this list. However, it is worth mentioning for its focus on achieving financial independence. In general, investing is the primary means to achieve financial independence, whether they invest in stocks, real estate or another asset. Hosted by Brad Barrett, this podcast covers topics such as index funds, career development and entrepreneurship, taxes, and financial planning.
Planet money
This NPR podcast was launched during the 2008 financial crisis. While it does talk about investing, the show sometimes aims to help people understand the economy and how it affects our daily lives. It has a team of presenters, and they often tackle stories that seemingly have nothing to do with money and then find a way to tie them back to the economy. They also often cover what they call indicators, which focus on things like inflation and the yield curve.
Chat with traders
If trading is your thing, then the Chat with Traders podcast is for you. Hosted by Tessa Dao and Ian Cox, this podcast features conversations with successful traders and other important figures in the trading world. Episodes are released weekly and cover practical insights, strategies and the experiences guests have had trading. Each guest usually has a different field of expertise. This can include stocks, options, futures, forex and cryptocurrencies.
