10 Investment Podcasts For Australian Investors

If you’re interested in learning more about investing, then one helpful thing you can do (other than read Canstar regularly) is subscribing to a good finance podcast.

Often, podcasts can afford to be more in-depth than the brief finance segments on TV or radio news, and there’s such a wealth of options it’s likely you’ll find one to suit your interests and needs.

Here’s a list of some quality audio content, tailor-made for Australian investors.

Aussie Firebug

Run by the anonymous ‘Firebug’ this podcast has a strong focus on attaining financial independence – making enough from your investments so that you don’t need to work. The podcast interviews new people each episode who have reached, or are on their way to, financial independence.

What we like about it: Hearing from ordinary people about their journey to financial independence provides a fresh perspective and makes it more relatable.

My Millennial Money

My Millennial Money is hosted by Glen James, the founder of sortyourmoneyout.com and is occasionally co-hosted by John Pidgeon who specialises in property investment.  In each episode, the hosts discuss a different topic related to personal finance, money mindset, or interviews with industry leaders and everyday Australians.

What we like about it: The duo provides an open table conversation style podcast, they are here to teach, encourage and hopefully provide some entertainment that shines through.

The Australian Investors Podcast

The Australian Investors Podcast is hosted by Owen Raszkiewicz, the founder of the Rask Group.  In each episode the presenter interviews a different finance and investment guru, who shares their investment insights and tips.

What we like about it: The guests on the show not only share their investment insights but also their personal stories, focussing on how their careers developed. This makes for a multi-layered and interesting chat.

Equity Mates Investing Podcast

Equity Mates is hosted by Bryce and Alec, two young Aussies with a strong interest in finance. They provide an accessible and entertaining introduction to investing.

What we like about it: The presenters neatly break down complex and intimidating investment concepts, making it a great podcast for newcomers.

Michael Yardney’s Podcast

Michael Yardney presents this podcast which focuses predominantly on investment properties but touches on other elements of wealth creation and success.

What we like about it: This twice-weekly podcast offers a deep dive into all things property in the Australian market. Yardney has been writing on investment properties for nearly a decade and is considered an expert on the topic. It explores the more in-depth questions and complex scenarios around property investment.

The Money Cafe

Alan Kohler, Editor-in-Chief of the Eureka Report, record a weekly chat with his co-hosts James Thomson and Stephen Mayne (both finance journalists) and the occasional special guest to mull over the week’s financial news. While they cover all the big news in the finance world they also discuss current affairs of the day.

What we like about it: While listeners will get a good dose of finance news and interesting insights, there is also plenty of banter thrown around making it an entertaining podcast.

Shares For Beginners

Shares for Beginners is hosted by Phil Muscatello and predominantly focuses on interviewing finance experts and easing their listeners into the world of investing. 

What we like about it: As its name would suggest, Shares For Beginners is just that; geared towards beginners. It breaks down complicated investment topics and questions and presents them in a way even those totally foreign to investing should be able to understand.

She’s On The Money

She’s on the money is hosted by millennial money expert, Victoria Devine and is currently Australia’s number one money podcast. While the podcast definitely discusses investing, it also tackles other finance related topics like budgeting and health insurance.

What we like about it: This is a podcast presented by a woman for women. It’s helping a whole generation of women become more financially savvy and makes investing and finance in general less intimidating.

The Richards Report

This podcast, covering the basics of investing, is hosted by Ted Richards, while he was the Director of Business Development at investment services firm Six Park. Ted is no longer with the company and therefore no new episodes of the podcast have been released, however there is still some valuable content there to listen to.

What we like about it:  Richards has managed to interview some very interesting people, including former Finance Minister Lindsay Tanner and ex-AFL captain Chris Judd.

Your Wealth

NAB’s Gemma Dale hosts this podcast, discussing strategies and tips to build your wealth, with a strong emphasis on investing.

What we like about it: Each week Dale examines a different topic, from different tools and investment instruments to the influence of technology, to investing abroad.

These are just a few of the many podcasts covering investing in Australia, let alone the rest of the world, but they should help to get you started. And as always, you can learn more about investing on Canstar’s own Investor Hub.
