Best Finance and Investing Podcasts 2026: Top 20 Shows Ranked by Data: Ranked by Real Chart Data
Updated September 2026 · Based on CastFox data covering 23 Apple Podcasts chart snapshots in 78 countries (2026-02-24 to 2026-09-04) and 5M+ indexed podcasts
The best finance and investing podcasts of 2026, by the numbers, are the 20 shows below: CastFox tracked the US Apple Podcasts Investing chart across 23 snapshots between February 24 and September 4, 2026, and every one of these 20 shows was in the top 100 on all 23 of them. The #1 show, Prof G Markets, averaged a US rank of 2.5 and charted in 74 of the 78 countries we track, and The Ramsey Show held the US #1 position on every single snapshot. Most "best finance and investing podcasts 2026" lists are one person's favorites. This one is built from daily chart data, so a show is here because listeners kept it near the top for seven months, not because it had a good launch week or a big marketing budget.
The Investing chart in 2026 is really five charts stacked on top of each other. There are the daily markets and business news shows from big media brands (Prof G Markets, Odd Lots, Thoughts on the Market, Fast Money, Mad Money, Halftime Report). There are the long-term stock investing shows built around analysts and fund managers (Motley Fool, Invest Like the Best, The Compound and Friends, Animal Spirits). There is a large personal finance and get-out-of-debt cluster (The Ramsey Show, Financial Audit, Money Guy Show, ChooseFI, Money For Couples). There is a real estate investing group (BiggerPockets, Wake Up to Wealth, The MORE Show). And there is a venture capital show, 20VC, that the Apple chart files under Investing because its audience is founders and fund managers rather than retail investors.
Each card below shows the show's chart record (how many of the 23 US snapshots it appeared in, its average and best US rank, and how many countries it charted in on the latest scrape), what the show is about in its own words, why it made the list, and who it is best for. Every show links to its CastFox page, where you can see daily chart history, audience estimates and contact details, and to Apple Podcasts. Further down you will find the shows rising fastest this month, a guide to picking a show by what you actually want to do (learn the basics, follow the stock market, invest in real estate, plan for retirement, start from scratch), and an FAQ that covers crypto podcasts too. The Investing hub shows the daily top 50 if you want the live chart rather than the seven-month view, and our best business podcasts of 2026 list covers the neighboring chart.

How We Ranked These: CastFox Methodology
CastFox scrapes the Apple Podcasts charts every day in 78 countries and stores every position in the top 200 of every genre. For this list we took the 23 2026 snapshots of the US Finance and Investing chart between 2026-02-24 and 2026-09-04, and scored every show that appeared in the top 100 of any of them.
- Consistency (50% of the score): the number of snapshots in which the show appeared in the US top 100. Every show on this list scored 23 out of 23, which is the filter that removes one-week spikes.
- Average US rank (30%): the mean of the show's US chart positions across those snapshots. Lower is better.
- Global reach (20%): the number of tracked countries in which the show was in the genre top 100 on the most recent snapshot. This is what separates a show with a large US following from a show with a global one.
There are no paid placements and no editorial overrides. A few shows on this list would not be our personal picks; they are here because the chart data put them here, and we would rather show you what people are actually listening to than what we think they should be. Chart position is not the same as audience size, so treat the ranking as a measure of sustained popularity rather than a download count. For a deeper look at what chart data can and cannot tell you, read how podcast audience demographics are calculated.
How to Pick the Right Finance and Investing Podcast for You
What are the best personal finance podcasts for beginners?
Start with The Ramsey Show. Dave Ramsey and his team answer listener calls about the money problems holding people back, and the show held the US #1 position on the Investing chart on all 23 snapshots this year, which makes it the most consistently popular finance podcast in the country. If a three-hour call-in show is too much, The Ramsey Show Highlights delivers the same advice in under ten minutes a day. Money Guy Show is the calmer alternative: Brian Preston and Bo Hanson teach simplified wealth-building strategies without the debt-shaming, and it averaged a US rank of 8.6. Financial Audit is the one to pick if you learn best from watching other people's mistakes; Caleb Hammer walks guests through their real finances line by line, and it averaged a US rank of 4.2 with a top-100 position in 60 countries.
What are the best stock market podcasts 2026 has to offer?
For a daily briefing, Prof G Markets is the #1 show on this list: Scott Galloway and Ed Elson cover earnings, geopolitics, Big Tech and AI every weekday, and it charted in 74 countries on the latest scrape. Motley Fool Money (listed on Apple as Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing) is the daily show for people who pick individual stocks, with a long-term perspective from The Motley Fool's analysts. CNBC's Fast Money and Halftime Report bring the network's trader roundtables to audio, and Mad Money with Jim Cramer is the opinionated option, with the Lightning Round of buy, sell and hold calls. If you want the deeper, slower conversation, Odd Lots from Bloomberg and The Compound and Friends are the two shows people in the industry listen to.
What are the best real estate investing podcasts?
BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast is the clear pick: Dave Meyer, the Head of Real Estate at BiggerPockets, publishes three episodes a week walking through real deals that went right and wrong, and it was the highest-ranked real estate show on the US Investing chart over the seven-month window, with a best rank of #13. The MORE Show, hosted by Justin Colby, focuses on multifamily investing and how larger deals are accessed, and Wake Up to Wealth with Brandon Brittingham mixes real estate with entrepreneurship and general wealth-building interviews. Both posted strong US average ranks but charted in only a handful of countries, so their audience is more concentrated than BiggerPockets'. In the growth data, Real Estate This Week and Lifetime Cash Flow Through Real Estate Investing both moved up between July and September, so the category is getting more competitive.
What are the best retirement planning podcasts?
None of the 20 shows on the main list is dedicated purely to retirement, but two of them cover it constantly: Money Guy Show, where the whole premise is making your assets do the heavy lifting so you can stop worrying, and ChooseFI, where Jonathan and Brad treat financial independence as the goal and everything else (cutting expenses, paying off debt, building passive income) as the path. The Ramsey Show handles retirement questions from callers every day. If you want a show that is only about retirement, look at the Rising this month section: Retirement Starts Today with Benjamin Brandt (a CFP who focuses on spending more in retirement while paying less tax) and The Retirement and IRA Show (two CFPs, Jim Saulnier and Chris Stein) both climbed the US Investing chart between July and September 2026.
Which podcasts to learn investing from scratch should I start with?
Pick one personal finance show and one markets show, and listen to both for a month. For the personal finance half, Money Guy Show or The Ramsey Show will get your foundations (budget, debt, emergency fund) in order before you buy anything. For the markets half, Prof G Markets is short, daily and jargon-free by design, and Odd Lots explains the strange corners of finance from first principles in two episodes a week. Once you are comfortable, Animal Spirits (Michael Batnick and Ben Carlson on what they are reading and watching in markets) and Invest Like the Best (long interviews with professional investors) are the natural next step. Money For Couples with Ramit Sethi is the right starting point if the real problem is that you and your partner cannot agree about money.
You want the institutional view, not the retail one
Thoughts on the Market gives you short, regular takes from Morgan Stanley's own strategists. Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy is aimed at professional investors, CEOs and entrepreneurs, and it charted in 76 countries on the latest scrape, the widest reach of any show on this list. 20VC with Harry Stebbings is where venture capitalists and the founders they back explain how startup funding actually works.

What is the best finance and investing podcast in 2026?
By CastFox's chart-consistency score, Prof G Markets is the best finance and investing podcast of 2026: it appeared in all 23 US Investing chart snapshots between February and September 2026 with an average US rank of 2.5, a best rank of #2, and a top-100 position in 74 of the 78 countries CastFox tracks. The Ramsey Show is a very close second with a perfect US average rank of 1 and 71 countries, and it is the better choice if you want personal finance advice rather than daily markets news. Odd Lots is third with an average US rank of 6.5 and 74 countries.
What is the most popular finance podcast on Apple Podcasts?
The Ramsey Show held the #1 position on the US Investing chart on every one of the 23 snapshots CastFox took in 2026, so by US position alone it is the most popular finance podcast in the country. Prof G Markets ranks above it on our list only because it charted in three more countries. Two shows further down the list, Wake Up to Wealth (average US rank 5.3, charting in 1 country) and The MORE Show (average US rank 10.2, charting in 7 countries), posted strong US averages but very narrow international reach, which is why our ranking, which weights global reach, places them below the shows that chart everywhere.
How is this list ranked?
Each show gets a score out of 100: 50 points for consistency (the share of the 23 US Investing chart snapshots in which it appeared in the top 100), 30 points for average US rank, and 20 points for the number of the 78 tracked countries in which it charted on the latest scrape. All 20 shows on this list scored full marks on consistency, so the order is decided by average rank and country reach. There are no paid placements, and the data comes from CastFox's daily Apple Podcasts chart tracking, not from a survey or an editor's picks.
What are the best crypto podcasts 2026 has on the charts?
No show dedicated to crypto made the top 20 of the US Investing chart over the February to September 2026 window; the chart is dominated by markets news and personal finance. The two Bitcoin-focused shows in our data are both in the growth table rather than the main list: The Wolf Of All Streets, where Scott Melker interviews people from the world of Bitcoin, trading and finance, improved its average US position from 87.7 to 64 between the July and the August-September snapshots, and The Pomp Podcast with Anthony Pompliano, which covers business, finance and Bitcoin, moved from 61.7 to 46. You can track both, and every other crypto show, on their CastFox pages, or search by topic with Podcast Finder.
Which finance podcasts are growing fastest right now?
Comparing the three most recent US Investing chart snapshots (August 8 to September 4, 2026) with the three before them (July 3 to July 31), the biggest movers were Critical Capital and Slate Money, both new to the top 100, followed by The Wolf Of All Streets, Masters in Business with Barry Ritholtz, and Moody's Talks - Inside Economics. The Rising this month section above has the full table, and it is refreshed every month while the main list changes more slowly because it rewards consistency.
Are these finance podcasts free?
Yes. Every show on this list is free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and the other major apps. Several offer paid ad-free or bonus tiers, and some, like The Ramsey Show and Financial Audit, publish full video episodes on YouTube. None of the shows on this list are a substitute for a licensed financial advisor, and you can compare their audiences before you commit your listening time by monitoring them in CastFox.
