LOS ANGELES, Feb. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- With almost 40 million people listening to podcasts – up 25 percent over just last year¹ – it's clear Americans are increasingly turning to streaming radio programs for their news and entertainment.

GOBankingRates found this is especially true when it comes to finance, identifying 14 top-tier podcasts and radio programs that help listeners make the best decisions with their money. The national personal finance site is asking fans to help choose the best radio show or podcast overall for 2015 in its first annual Money on the Air competition.

Podcasts have made popular radio shows even more accessible, allowing fans to listen at the gym, in their cars — anywhere and at any time they please, really," said Casey Bond, GOBankingRates managing editor. "These finalists have demonstrated how radio shows and podcasts can be an excellent medium to make financial news and advice digestible, interesting and engaging."
