These five finance podcasts make learning between classes not only easier, but also a little bit entertaining! They offer something for every student seeking a different perspective on many topics within the field.

1. The EntreLeadership

It is amazing what how much a person can learn and be motivated by listening to conversations between their mentors. This is exactly what The EntreLeadership offers.

3. Planet Money

One of NPR’s new podcasts, Planet Money, is another great listen for finance students. This one provides listeners with a variety of hosts, offering broad perspectives on a wide range of topics. The overall goal is to put out the most cutting edge information about the global financial realm with just a twist of humor. This is a great one to listen to on the way to class to get pumped for the day or after a particularly frustrating test. New episodes come out every three days, so listeners are never left hanging for too long.

4. Marketing Smart

MarketingProfs, a popular blog, has now entered into the world of podcasts with Marketing Smart. This is a weekly half hour of real world, no frills advice on how best to approach the world of finances.

Each episode features a different host, offering expert leadership in a wide variety of topics. This is great for students who are getting ready to start a project and seek tangible direction and inspiration.

5. Marketing Over Coffee

Here we are the with the coffee-themed podcasts again, this time literally. Marketing Over Coffee hosts John J. Wall and Christopher S. Penn travel to a new coffee shop every Thursday morning and chat about finances and marketing. Each week features a different location and a different topic, but the interactive nature of this show stays the same. They invite listeners to call in with questions and even show up and chat live if they are in the area. Participating in this way will look great on a resumé.

Being a finance student may be hard work, but that does not mean it cannot be enjoyable! These finance podcasts offer information, insight, and actionable advise from credible sources, while also offering an interesting listen and even a few laughs. They make great companions for daunting walks and downtime in between classes, and they might even knock out a few hours of what otherwise would have been a dull book study session.
