What podcasts about personal finance/frugality do you listen to?

I've been listening to The Dave Ramsey show and Quick and Dirty Tips. They both can be found on iTunes.

Anyone else have any recommendations?

I tried listening to a podcast once before. Can't remember which one, but I had heard positive things. Unfortunately when I started listening to it, they just talked about the most obvious stuff and I really didn't like the voices on it, so turned it off.

I do watch Dave Ramsey's show on TV from time to time. It gets to be a little repetitive though. Makes me wonder why some these people call in, do they expect him to say something different when their situation is exactly the same as the guy who called in 20 minutes ago?!

Where can I find "Quick and Dirty Tips"? I don't have an ipod.

I love the Dave Ramsey podcast. I get so sad that you can only get an hour of it for free on iTunes - I wish you could get the whole three hours! I've learned so much by listening to that.

I also listen to Money Girl's Quick & Dirty Tips for a Richer Life, NPRs "The Color of Money" and the Wall Street Journal's "Your Money Matters". I always play these during my walk to work so I can stay motivated and learn something during time when I probably wouldn't be doing much productive.

OMG I do the SAME exact thing! I think Dave Ramsey is really repetitve, but I like hearing other people who are way worse off than I am...maybe that's bad, but it helps me keep perspective. I love the debt-free-friday yells. i think that's so funny. I do think he's a little high-and-mighty though. Are the tv shows the same as the podcast?

I've listened to the Quick and Dirty tips but I think the woman's voice is really annoying.

Clark Howard has the best podcasts about personal finance and frugality. His show has seriously changed my life for the better.

You can download his podcasts at clarkhoward.com: Archives Audio Archives: Clark's Show Topics

Another vote for Clark Howard. He really made me wise up to frugal living and being more responsible with the household income. My wife probably gets annoyed with having to hear either his show or me talk about his show all the time. The podcasts are great because his local airtime doesn't always fit my drive home.

I watch Dave Ramsey on occasion but his advice is very narrow. I also find him to be a little pretentious and pushy.
