Marriage Kids and Money

Marriage Kids and Money podcast host Andy Hill may not have set out to create one of Apple’s best finance podcasts, but he and his family have done just that. The husband and father of two interviews financial experts and fiscally responsible parents for their tips and tricks on giving their family the life they deserve. Andy even shares details into his family’s personal finances on episodes that discuss how they have paid off their mortgage in 5 years and lessons learned after becoming millionaires in their 30’s.

You may know The Motley Fool as one of the biggest investing sites to hit the internet. The gated membership site took their digital content and spun it up into a daily podcast where host Chris Hill and a team of Motley Fool investment analysts talk the top business news of the day. While this pod certainly ranks as one of the best finance podcasts on Apple it’s far more niche in its content, focusing heavily on the stock market and investing.
