Best Learning websites, books, and podcasts, etc for basics of Finance fundamental

Hi guys,

I just started my first finance job in a rotational program. The program is poorly run and I HAVE a lot of free time on my hands during the job. I wanted to use my free time wisely so I used it to study for CFA. Now that thats over I have more free time and want to keep learning (other than just reading the WSJ all day). Anyone have any great books, websites, podcasts, learning modules I can be doing throughout the day so I learn as much as I can about finance in general, pick up skills that would help me in my next job, etc

For some better context, I have been reading Ray Dalios principles and Steve Schwarzman What it Takes, Excel modules, read WSJ all day, Blackrock outlooks, and Intro to IPO modules, sending out networking emails.

Thanks!
