1. Money Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips

The Money Girl’s Quick & Dirty Tips by Laura Adams has short episodes that run for less than 10 minutes. It covers a wide variety of topics including budgeting, leveraged investments, online banking safety, mortgage short sales, tax tips, etc. Though Laura’s podcasts aren’t as detail oriented as some of the others, they are still jam-packed with actionable and useful information. If you want to skim, her site also has the transcripts of her shows.

2. NPR’s Planet Money

NPR’s Planet Money podcasts are known for their variety. Sometimes they get an expert who will reprise you of coupons, sometimes an internationally reputed economist to talk about macroeconomics, other times an expert will talk about tax policy, and yet other times a financial planner to teach you how to manage your money effectively.
I personally love their Economy and Color of Money podcasts, too.

Dave allows one hour of his show as a free podcast every day, but if you want access to the whole thing, you have to pay for them.
