Media is everywhere. Right now, podcasts are one of our favorite ways to consume it. Audio-based content means we can plug-in in the car, at work or on a jog - something you can't do as easily with the 6 o'clock news or your favorite magazine.
Some podcasts are good for the mind, others for the soul, still others for your wallet. Here are seven worth streaming the next time you plug-in.
