Stock Market Podcasts

Along with the amazing growth of blogs over the past few years, equally impressive is the trend toward stock market podcasts.

Those of you who have long commutes to work or who like listening to market commentary while working out in the gym seem to be the primary target audience, though I suspect some traders listen to podcasts during the trading day while monitoring their screens. While completely different in nature, so-called squawk box services for traders (Trader's Audio) also seem to be growing in popularity.

Based on my limited research, as of right now a website called StreetIQ appears to be the top resource for investors, traders, and those looking for market-focused podcasts. They have done a slick job of not only organizing content, but making the content searchable (you can even search by ticker symbol). In addition, StreetIQ also integrates popularity tracking so you'll know what is hot and not in the stock market podcast world. For example, this month's top podcasts are:

To help get you started, there are also a number of other podcast search sites (Odeo and Podnova) and here some specific starting points I recommend: MarketWatch, Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, Trader Interviews, and ETF Digest. In addition, if podcasting is something that appeals to you, I would also suggest that you utilize a podcast aggregator like Juice to help you download and keep on top of your favorite resources.

Happy podcasting!
