Australian Financial Review’s Chanticleer

One of Australia’s most prestigious business columns, Chanticleer now comes in podcast form. Chanticleer is a weekly breakdown of all things business, finance and markets. The Australian Financial Review columnists James Thomson and Anthony Macdonald provide up-to-date analysis on all things corporate Australia.

What we like about it: Chanticleer provides bite-sized episodes of the latest business and finance news in under 40 minutes. James and Anthony do so by being clear and concise in their summaries of the week’s most important topics, but they also take the time to highlight the underlying market trends.

CommSec Market Update

For those looking to stay ahead of the trends, the CommSec Market Update podcast provides two daily episodes of expert commentary as the market opens and closes. Whether you’re already invested in the stock market, or looking to get started, the team from one of Australia’s leading online brokers will give you insights into market changes as they happen.

What we like about it: The podcast has very concise episodes under 10-minutes in length, which can be perfect for the commute to and from work. The CommSec team reports on what’s current in the Australian market and abroad. This amounts to a strong daily resource for new and seasoned investors, which isn’t bogged down by financial jargon.

What we like about it: Stuart brings a great deal of experience to the podcast, offering insights into strategies he’s used with past and present clients, as well as a host of interesting case studies. Although the podcast can sometimes feel more large investor orientated, private investors can still utilise the practical information to suit their own circumstances.
