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.

Podcasts and Shows

  • Finance

  • Flirting with Models

    Probably the podcast of quantitative finance. I think it's the best one out there, and most of the influential practitioners in the field end up being interviewed by Corey Hoffstein. Flirting With Models is a great podcast which balances the at times very technical content and makes it accessible. It airs about every other week.

    Podcast
  • 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.
