I'm what you might call a "podcast junkie," and no, there's no rehab for it—I've checked. It's like my ears have developed a taste for gourmet knowledge, and they just can't get enough. Science and investing? Never thought I'd be into those, but here I am, nerding out on the daily. Podcasts are like master classes for your ears, minus the tuition fees and the awkward classroom seating. Not a fan of reading? No problem! Just pop an edible, find your favorite comfy spot, and prepare your ears for a buffet of well-spoken, hilarious, and downright genius content—all for the low, low price of free!

Ok so, picture this: last week, I'm tuning into my go-to podcast, The Stacking Benjamins, by Marketplace. On that episode, cleverly titled “Where Are You Drawing the Line?”, one of the hosts Joe Saul-Sehy or Josh “OG” Bannerman drops a bombshell—he's kicked DoorDash to the curb! I mean, maybe not a plot twist, but it turns out, ditching those delivery apps is like finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Those fees are so f#$%! high, they should come with a parachute! We've gotten so cozy with these sneaky apps that we've forgotten how to use a phone to order and actually pick up our own grub. It's like we've become allergic to fresh air and exercise!

Get those kiddos thinking like penny-pinching pros early on, because one day they'll be the ones making sure your golden years aren't spent in a cardboard box. Tune into "Million Bazillion" from Marketplace, your secret weapon for raising financially savvy offspring. The New York Times calls it “a godsend for anyone who knows a little kid with big questions about money,” which is fancy talk for "this show is awesome." It dives into everything from "What the heck is inflation?" to "Why do grown-ups get so excited about stocks?" Kids of all ages call in with their burning questions, and hosts Ryan Perez and Bridget Bodnar, along with some surprise guests, tackle these financial topics with a sense of humor that transforms the learning experience into something almost as enjoyable as the thrill of spending money.

Get up. Get out. Get hot. Stay thrifty.
