You don't need an MBA to write a killer business plan. But it doesn't hurt to have a little knowledge about what's going on in the academic business world. Slate's new biz mag—The Big Money—solves that problem with its new business books podcast called "Every Day I Read The Book."

You can listen to interviews with the authors of current books on business, finance, and the economy while you're doing other stuff. You know, like launching your start-up. Check it out here, and thank us later once you become all smart like.
