How can you use Financially Inclined with students?

With its conversational tone and diverse range of guests—from TikTok influencers to seasoned journalists—Financially Inclined keeps students hooked while delivering crucial financial insights. To make integrating this podcast into your classroom even easier, every episode comes with free, pre-created NGPF listening guide for students included in a teacher slide deck!

You can use the podcast in class as a group activity or as independent work (as long as you have 1:1 devices and each student has headphones). You might also assign a specific podcast episode for homework. You can offer your students the choice of either listening to the audio podcast or tuning into the video version on YouTube.
