There are shows for any conceivable topic of interest: history, politics, science and even the art of being hip. So it should come as little surprise that there are podcasts to help you become wealthier, too.

A number of personal finance leaders have joined the podcasting revolution in recent years, and their advice can help you establish personal finance goals in the coming year.

"While many look for financial advice online, podcasts have quickly grown to be a new and popular medium where people flock to learn from money experts and entrepreneurs," says Keri Danielski, consumer finance expert for Mint.

If you want to get your money in order in the coming year, these are the best financial podcasts to get you started.
