I'm often asked for material to get started on some quantitative finance topics; so here are my recommended reads and listens, in no particular order.
Finance
Odds on Open
Odds on Open is a fairly recent podcast hosted by Ethan Kho that features conversations with leading thinkers on trading and risk management. The podcast covers various topics, including market structure, alpha generation, and institutional investment strategies.
Flirting with Models
Probably the podcast of quantitative finance, most of the influential practitioners in the field end up being interviewed by Corey Hoffstein. Flirting With Models is a great podcast that balances the at times very technical content and makes it accessible. It airs about every other week.
Patrick Boyle
Patrick Boyle's podcast On Finance is entertaining and informative. He's a professional fund manager and his perspective on a very broad range of events in the financial world is very informative. He has a YouTube channel but it can be listened to as a podcast with audio only.
Chat with Traders
Chat with Traders is one of the best-known and longest-running podcasts that relate to trading and finance. The episodes are in-depth interviews, most episodes stretch beyond one hour, of traders who share their journey, tips and techniques.
Other
Asianometry
Jon's video essays are hands down some of the best-researched and most accurate in the fields of both the electronics industry and the broader Asian economies. The content is technical and of incredible quality.
How I Built This
Guy Raz interviews twice a week entrepreneurs who share their journey. It's a very inspirational podcast and the guests come from a broad range of industries and experiences.
