Compared to investing podcasts (public markets) - there are very few good deals/private investing podcasts out there. But hey if someone has a suggestion that'd be great.

 

Deal of the week used to be great, but they stopped producing new podcasts in March.

My current favorite is the Nightly Business Report, which is produced by CNBC. I listen to it every morning on my commute into work. It’s great because they release a daily episode about the prior days events, so it is an easy way to catch-up on what happened yesterday in the news. Not IB specific, but they cover general market and industry news, M&A activity, and other stuff that is important to follow if working in IB.
