Some time ago, we put together a list of the 8 podcasts we recommended all traders should tune into.
The post proved a popular one - it turns out traders certainly do like to listen to trader tales and tips in their spare time. Yet such is the nature of social media, it wasn't long before we were being inundated with feedback (mostly friendly. Mostly...) suggesting some podcasts that we omitted from our original list.
So we're back with more, some based on the feedback we received, and some based on more podcasts we've encountered ourselves. Read them below, listed in alphabetical order...
Have we STILL missed out your favourite trading or finance podcast? Be sure to let us know on Twitter @_TraderLife_ and we might add it to the list...
