Finance Podcasts

Thirteen percent of New Zealand homes resold in the second quarter of 2026 went for less than their owners had paid. On The NZ Property Market Podcast that number comes with its other half: 87% still sold at a gain, with a median profit of $280,000, down from $440,000 at the peak. The best finance podcasts work in that gap between a frightening figure and the one that completes it. Then they ask what jobs, credit and holding periods had to do with the result.

VREF | The Truth About the Aviation Market turns that scepticism on aircraft. In The Asking Price Lie Why Listed Aircraft Values Mean Far Less Than People Think | EPISODE 31, Jason Zilberbrand argues that listings reflect aspiration. He adds that no central record shows the prices deals actually close at, or which deals collapse. The $110,000 Upgrade That Could Tank Your Aircraft’s Value | Episode 46 separates engineering quality from resale: "Value is what the next buyer will trust it to do and pay for." The show calls itself sponsor-free, but its sign-off promotes VREF's own valuations, so the scepticism comes from a firm selling the alternative.

Broker Daily Podcast Network does similar work for Australian brokers. How Australia's property market is splitting under pressure reads a 55% national auction clearance rate as "markets within markets". The Real Estate page goes further.

A regulation show earns its place by turning a rule into Monday-morning work. The Luxembourg Fundcast was created by regulatory lawyer Bertrand Mariaux. In its ETF Transparency, FATF Updates & Industry Stats, two voices set out the rule for e-money tokens used in fund subscriptions: they must become deposits as soon as practicable. Holding one over a weekend because the FX desk was closed "might be defensible". Holding it for a week to bet on its value is called a clear breach. Account 115: Equity Contribution and Governance Framework covers a quieter danger. Cash put into a subsidiary as equity, without a notary, can be reclassified as debt if the paperwork is vague, and tax liabilities can follow.

AML Conversations, hosted by John Byrne, applies the same discipline to financial crime. In Anti-Corruption at a Crossroads: Enforcement, Risk, and the Future of Financial Integrity with Jonathan Rusch, the former Justice Department lawyer argues that a bank ending a risky relationship can persuade examiners with specific facts rather than generic suspicion.

The Payroll Podcast is frank about its limits. Early in The April 2026 Payroll Checklist | SSP Overhaul, Fair Work Agency & Fiscal Drag Explained, an 89-minute panel, listeners hear that "in payroll, there's rarely one right answer." A forecast follows: frozen thresholds are expected to pull around 4 million more people into higher tax bands by 2028. Host Nick Day is CEO of a payroll recruitment group, which is worth remembering when talk turns to careers.

At the academic edge, Public Lectures from the Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge has Professor Catherine Barnard citing Russia's challenge to the EU's decision on funds frozen at Euroclear. The Legal and Human Resources pages continue.

Debt Matters comes from a UK collections firm, which makes its attention to the person who owes all the more striking. Worcestershire Tax Surges and the Arrears Crisis follows a council-tax rise of up to 9%, above the standard 5% limit. By July, a household that falls behind could owe the full year plus court costs and bailiff fees. The episode then follows the lost spending out to local cafés and small businesses.

Options Boot Camp, with Mark Longo and Dan Passarelli, takes listener questions. In Options Boot Camp 385: Double Calendar Madness, guest John describes selling a Friday straddle and buying a Monday contract against it. The hosts warn that simply blasting away at weekly straddles, with the VIX near 30, could mean ruin. Newcomers should skip Options Boot Camp 384: Options Fool's Day, which by the hosts' account reversed all their usual advice. These April episodes carry a brokerage's ads.

Bitcoin Magazine Podcast speaks from inside the bitcoin industry, and its value lies in hearing assumptions said aloud. In "Wall Street Has Woken Up” w/ Matt Hougan of Bitwise | BFC Show Ep. 34, Hougan recalls hearing about bitcoin early and leaving to buy "a cup of coffee" instead. In Bitcoin’s "iPhone Moment" is Here w/ Strive Chief Officers | BFC Show Ep. 32, the guests describe a model built on an assumed 30% annual growth rate, effectively in perpetuity. They also name their worst case: selling bitcoin to pay dividends. These are guests whose firms work in bitcoin.

The Perfect RIA, with Matthew Jarvis and Micah Shilanski, is shop talk for financial advisors. In From Struggle to Seven Figures: Aaron Schmerling's Journey, Schmerling recalls a client couple, one of whom hugged him after a meeting. A month later they began moving their assets to a bank advisor and told him they owed him no explanation. In The Future of Financial Advisory Practices With Scott DiGiammarino, the guest says that among 112 buyers, growth is the first thing they look for.

On Broker Daily Podcast Network, Finance Specialist: What separates a good BDM from a great one has Trent Carter sorting lender reps into the "brochure delivery man", the "beer drinking machine" and the genuinely useful kind.
