Great Content

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed these podcasts and have found the content relevant and engaging. They’re relatively short and a quick listen while on the way to work.

Great finance based podcast.

Great finance and investment based podcast! While also discussing finance outright, the host and guests explore a variety of current topics and how they correlate with investing, planning, etc. in a way that will probably have you looking at things in a new light. The shorter runtime makes the information easy to digest; there’s a good balance between touching on topics in detail without going too far into the weeds.

5 stars. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a podcast that combines finance and current events, and why you should be thinking about the two together.
