Actuaries never stop learning. There are loads of industry webinars and conferences out there, but I prefer reading blogs and listening to podcasts - they're a more convenient way to keep up to date with the latest industry news, practices and tech.
Here's a list of blogs and podcasts that I enjoy as an actuary.
🇦🇺 The We Are Actuaries Podcast
Julia Lessing, an actuary based in Australia, interviews actuaries from different backgrounds who use their actuarial powers in unique ways.
🇺🇸 The Not Unreasonable Podcast
David Wright, a former actuary, discusses management, analytics, sales and economics from an insurance/reinsurance perspective.
🇬🇧 The Odds & Ends Blog
Zhixin Lim (a UK actuary) writes about tech and business trends in a really clear way, without hype or hyperbole.
🇬🇧 Bradley Shaw on Medium
Bradley is a UK pricing actuary who writes about the intersection of actuarial science and data science. He gives plenty of practical examples in Python.
🇬🇧 John Lee on Substack
John is an actuarial tutor, author and satirist. This isn't strictly a blog, but it's the best site out there for actuarial jokes and memes.
Notable mentions
These blogs haven't been updated for a while, but they still have some good articles that are worth reading:
