Between trying to stay informed on the latest happenings in Washington, keeping up with current COVID-19 guidelines, and trying to get through the workday, your personal finances may have taken a backseat. Podcasts are a beautiful thing because you can have them on in the background in almost any situation, bringing multitasking to a new level.
Whether you’re looking to learn about the economy without feeling overwhelmed or want to figure out how a debt payoff calculator can help you achieve a debt-free lifestyle, here are 10 of the best money and personal finance podcasts to tune into in 2021, from the more traditional advice (old standbys) to the modernized tips (outside-the-box thinkers).

The old standbys

The outside-the-box thinkers

Planet Money

NPR
Some might have you think the economy is only measured in how the stock market’s doing, but it’s actually a lot bigger than that. NPR describes Planet Money, which launched to cover the 2008 financial crisis, as a night at the bar with a friend explaining the economy to you. Episodes range from the Christmas tree market to lost billions in Bitcoin, and the hosts make these topics easily digestible without a PhD in economics.

How to Money

IHeartRadio
With a tagline of “Rich living on less money,” How to Money—hosted by best friends Joel and Matt—gets into personal finance in a “jargon-free way.” The BFFs also drink a craft beer every episode, so grab a pint and learn about everything from what to do about student loans to the psychology of money.
