U.S. News launches personal finance podcast

U.S. News & World Report debuted a new weekly “Wealth of Knowledge” podcast on Monday hosted by consumer advice editor Antonio Barbera.

He covers a wide range of topics, including personal finance, health, careers and investing.

He joined the consumer advice team in 2016, and previously was an editor for U.S. News’ Best Cars vertical.

“Our mission at U.S. News is to help individuals navigate complex decisions,” said Kim Castro, executive editor at U.S. News, in a statement. “‘Wealth of Knowledge’ addresses common financial questions on a range of topics, from careers and credit cards to investing and real estate, to help listeners make wise money decisions.”

The new podcast is part of U.S. News’ expanding Money channel, which provides rankings, tools and advice on Investing, Retirement, Careers, Real Estate and more. Earlier this year, U.S. News unveiled Best Credit Cards, a new section that provides in-depth information and guidance on credit cards.
