TechRadar sister site Mozo is back with a second season of their spicy finance podcast, The Finance Burrito (aka “The Hottest Show About Dough”).
In its new five-part unwrapped season, Finance Burrito moderators Liv Gee and Tom Watson reveal everything there is to know about banking in the digital age.
Get ready to grapple with some fiery topics like the decline in cash, open banking, crypto and investing, cashback offers, and online personal finance communities.
Hungry for more? Then be sure to tune in to The Finance Burrito’s Your Money News segment (every other Thursday), in which the dynamic duo bring up the latest happenings in Geldland.
To celebrate the return of The Finance Burrito for Season 2, here’s a curated selection of the Mozo team’s personal favorites when it comes to money-related podcasts:
1. The pineapple project

Starting out as a “Personal Finance for Dummies” style podcast, The Pineapple Project has evolved since then, using its seasonal structure to delve deeper into more complex financial topics. Outstanding seasons worth listening to were season two, which was about jobs and careers, and season four, which was about death and money. Its fabulous food-related name is also well worth a reputation, which in case you are wondering, serves as a nod to the Australian slang term for the $ 50 bill as “pineapple”.
2. Freakonomics radio

Hosted by co-author of the Freakonomics books Stephen J. Dubner, the whimsical Freakonomics radio podcast is a must-have. This podcast is about everything to do with economics (who would have thought that?). But believe us, it is anything but boring! Each episode focuses on a new weird and wonderful topic. For example, did you know that lack of sleep plays a role in the income gap? Find out all about it in “The Economics of Sleep” (episodes 211-212).
3. What the river?

Hosted by Flux co-founders Brett Joffe and Justin Joffe, What the Flux is a funky new finance podcast that delivers bite-sized business news to its listeners daily in an easy-to-understand 5-minute episode format. Each episode covers the three most important business stories of the day, either Down Under or around the world, as well as some helpful key takeaways. This is a great place to keep up with the latest financial news.
4. The money

The Money, hosted by Richard Aedy, a 30-year-old journalist, is an ABC podcast that explores Australia from an economic perspective. This exhibition examines the way the economy affects the world around us in relation to an endless range of topics and current events. A real eye-opener for anyone who wants to better understand Australia’s economic landscape.
5. The real estate playbook

And last but not least is the Property Playbook from award-winning financial advisor and She’s On The Money podcast host Victoria Devine and Buyers Advocate Amy Lunardi. This miniseries shows the many steps involved in buying a property. An absolute must for everyone who is currently considering or is already on the way to their own home.
