So many items languish on our to-do lists, and that includes taking care of our finances and investments.
Fortunately, you don't have to put off learning more about investing in order to become better at it -- and, ideally, make more money. You can learn a lot and often be entertained in the process by listening to financial podcasts, and you can listen while doing other things such as driving or exercising.
Here are 12 great podcasts related to investing -- from the basics to venture capital, real estate investing, and more. They can introduce you to exciting companies you don't know about, industry insiders with valuable insights, and great investors who share their strategies.

Most of us are not likely to get too close to venture capital (VC), which features deep-pocketed investors who typically buy chunks of small, young companies -- like Facebook or Google in their early days -- before the companies go public via IPOs. They often provide guidance to the companies' management too, aiming to help the company grow briskly with their money, so that they can eventually cash out. It's worth learning more about VC investors to inform our own stock investing, as they can provide insights on what to look for in a business and how to evaluate it.
The Full Ratchet : This podcast is devoted to demystifying the world of venture capital. You'll hear plenty of stories about successful investments as well as "post-mortems" about investments that failed and why. Recent episodes have featured very unusual pitches by companies, start-up lessons learned, and sectors positioned for great growth. The Twenty Minute VC : This podcast offers gobs of talks with VC investors. Recent episodes have addressed topics such as "Sequoia's Ravi Gupta on His Lessons From the Hyper-Growth of Instacart" and "Why Complexity Increases Exponentially With Scale."Image source: Getty Images.
