big fan of this podcast. i used to listen to this guy’s radio show about finance and money management a few years back, and now he’s got a podcast. he gives a clear, concise summary of what’s going on in the market, and why. sometimes it’s a quick 10 min recap of the day, other times he’ll go into detail for 30 mins. give it a shot if you wanna learn.
