For every university course, there is a podcast that will put your lectures into context and further enhance your learning.

If you are studying business, listening to a podcast can give you fresh insight. Business is a broad topic, and one which is hit daily by fluctuations in the stock market, political unrest and entrepreneurial breakthroughs. Keeping up to date with what’s happening in the news will give you a better handle on the subject.

Here are 6 of our top podcast picks for business students:
