Finance & Money

Finance podcasts worth exploring

Explore podcasts about saving, investing and the financial decisions that affect everyday life in Canada. Most of these shows are made here, so they talk about TFSAs, RRSPs, CRA rules and Canadian mortgages rather than 401(k)s.

  • Debt and everyday money

    Credit cards, CRA debt, loans and building a budget that leaves room for the things you value. Debt Free in 30 is hosted by a licensed insolvency trustee.

  • Housing and real estate

Practical guidance

How to choose a finance podcast

  • Check where the advice appliesRules for accounts, taxes and benefits differ by country. Look at the origin label on each card; U.S. shows can be useful for ideas but not for Canadian tax specifics.
  • Know who is talkingNote whether the host is a portfolio manager, an insolvency trustee, a journalist or an enthusiast. Each brings a different lens, and some have services to sell.
  • Match the depth to your stageIf you are paying down debt or starting a budget, choose a practical show. If you already invest, a research-led show will challenge your assumptions.
  • Treat episodes as a starting pointA podcast can help you form better questions. Decisions about your own situation deserve a conversation with a qualified professional.
