Did you know The Motley Fool has its own podcast?

We do!

Produced in conjunction with Triple M, it's called Motley Fool Money.

It's free to listen, as our Director of Research, Anirban 'Doc' Mahanti and I run through the news and views of the week, plus dip into the Fool mailbag to answer questions from our listeners!

This week, Doc and I tackled the causes and ramifications of Australia's first current account surplus in over four decades, the ongoing US-China trade talks, and had a look at a Harvey Norman-backed would-be competitor to Afterpay (ASX:APT).

Plus, I might have gone on a little bit of a rant about something I called 'the worst financial idea ever', and, of course, we answered some listener questions.

(And we have a new, short extra weekly episode, too. It comes out on Tuesdays and tackles a 'getting the best deal' question. We call it 'Money Hacks'. It's free, and might save — or make — you a few bucks.)

If you haven't already subscribed then, as Lara Bingle once asked, where the bloody hell are ya?
