4. WBT – Wealth, Business & Taxes
In WBT, the creator, veteran businessman Michael Lodge, provides listeners with some solid advice about wealth, business, and taxes.
He focuses a lot on California taxes specifically, but he extends the prevalence of tax information to relate to the federal government as a whole. He often offers insight into the connection between the president’s role within the financial sphere.
It’s a precious world view that examines not only local taxes, but international geopolitics to give the listener a better, more comprehensive perspective on tax policies.
5. Tax Justice Warriors
The host of this podcast is very knowledgeable. He works as an adjunct professor in tax procedure at Washburn University Law School. He often has guest speakers on both his podcasts and at his school lectures.

This couldn’t be a better stepping stone for newcomers to these trade agreements to understand something topical, as well as extremely important for nearly everyone’s finances in the Western hemisphere.
9. The Taxcast by the Tax Justice Network
For 30 minutes every month, the Taxcast, hosted by Naomi Fowler, delves into international taxes, the impact of Brexit on all of our finances, tax havens, public interest, and tax scandals.
Naomi Fowler covers everything.
Although this podcast is based in the United Kingdom, it covers topics that are universal in the financial market that anyone listening can be informed on extraordinarily relevant and essential issues. My favorite episode is on a possible new economic depression.
The only downside is that this podcast only releases one episode per month!
