Very cool tip from LifeHacker about free podcasts from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), aimed at helping people start successful small businesses. The podcasts, which vary in topic, are designed to teach the basics, according to LifeHacker.

SBA.gov already hosts 9 podcasts, with more to come. Current topics include tips for creating effective business plans, how to finance a small business, and a checklist for starting a new business.

It looks like great stuff, and downloading each podcast couldn't be easier. Check out the SBA Podcast page to get listening!
