Best podcasts · Updated
The 26 best investing podcasts in 2026.
As of Oct 23, 2026, Real Alpha’s ranking of 17 investing podcasts puts All-In, a16z Podcast, Training Data, Sourcery and BG2 at the top, by the minutes worth watching cut from each. We follow 68 long-form podcasts and cut those minutes from their episodes. These are the shows we follow about investing, in public markets and private ones, from stock pickers to venture capitalists. This list ranks the 17 we follow that fit it: the 12 we’ve cut 149 moments from, then 5 we haven’t cut yet. Then come 9 more we don’t follow, A to Z. It changes as we cut more.
How we rank: Each moment we’ve cut from a show earns a point, plus one when an AI builder is the one talking and one when its episode cleared our views bar, and a moment’s points halve every year after its episode came out. Each show is scored on its five best episodes by those points, so posting more often doesn’t lift it. Shows we follow but haven’t cut from yet come after, by the views their episodes usually get on YouTube.
