Today, I call attention to their 15 Essential Back-to-School Podcasts.

Among the most notable:

- NPR’s Planet Money. “Planet Money’s success lies in how it tackles complex subjects with great storytelling. A financial instrument like a Collateralized Debt Obligation (CDO) may sound impossibly boring, but Planet Money routinely makes these types of things the heart of a thrilling narrative.”

- The Bugle. “Think an audio version of The Daily Show, where Oliver is also a regular.”

- Cliffs Notes Cramcast. “This free podcast reviews some of the stuff you need to know for the big test and does it in three to four minutes.”

Take a look and let us know if they missed anything.
