Stacking Benjamins and Financial Rockstar would fit the bill.

I don't follow the no investing with debt... I can't pass up that 5% match. Sorry Dave. Trying my best to follow most of the rest.

Ric Edelman prefers to NOT BUDGET. He says to figure out what you need to save, and spend the rest.

I have a half hour drive to and from work every day so I've been firing up random Dave Ramsey YouTube segments on my phone and listening to them as I drive. I find all his bits (millionaire hour, getting out of debt, callers with specific situations) all very insightful and teaching me a lot. Makes me want to conquer debt and build up my nest-egg even more each time I hear one of his broadcasts.

You could use a podcast app (I use Pocketcasts) and download his show while home on wifi. They come in 40 min segments. That could save you data and phone battery. You could also speed up the playback a bit and get a whole segment in each way.

Cool man, my band used to cover some Buckethead jams! Check out bands like Grails and Do Make Say Think, you might dig that spaced out vibe.

Timber82,
Could you recommend specific gov't contracting podcasts? As I am an 1102, also in this career field.

I don't listen to any of those, but I've heard good things about Stacking Benjamin's and Financial Rockstar.

I listen to many different types of podcasts, but as far as financial (particularly financial independence focused):
    ChooseFI Podcast - I've been stuck on this for the last couple of weeks. Love the JL Collins Stock Series episodes.
    Mad FIentist - He's got great interviews to get you thinking, and he's got a great take on numbers
    Afford Anything - Yet another financial independence based podcast, with more of a bent about making smart choices with your money. Paula answers all kinds of money questions from her audience, and she's a shrewd real estate investor and gives no-nonsense advise on how you can be too. Whatever she's talking about, she breaks it down and shows you how easy it can be.


I've been binge-listening to Choose FI!

Great! Glad to hear I could provide a good suggestion. They also have a very active facebook group (ChooseFI), where there are always good financial links and podcasts being shared. I just downloaded a couple episodes of The Dough Roller Money Podcast on the recommendation of several in the ChooseFI group. Apparently Dough Roller does a great series on investing that started in Jan 2016 (episode 236). I'll give it a listen and let you know if it's good.
