If you’re interested in learning more about investing, then one helpful thing you can do (other than read Canstar regularly) is subscribe to a good finance podcast.

Often, podcasts can afford to be more in depth than the brief finance segments on TV or radio news, and there’s such a wealth of options it’s likely you’ll find one to suit your interests and needs.

Here’s a list of some quality audio content, tailor-made for Australian investors.

Get started on your investment journey today. 

Aussie Firebug

It explores the more in-depth questions and complex scenarios around property investment.

Shares For Beginners

A relative newcomer on the podcast scene, Shares for Beginners is hosted by Phil Muscatello, and predominantly focuses on interviewing finance experts.

What we like about it: As its name would suggest, Shares For Beginners is just that; geared towards beginners. It breaks down complicated investment topics and questions and presents them in a way even those totally foreign to investing should be able to understand.
