Customer Reviews
To many “You know!"
I like the podcast and the information, but one of your guest has a bad habit of saying “You Know” to often in the podcast! It like having stack in the back ground!
MacroVoices: the best market analysis on the web
I have listened to many financial podcasts and programs over the least 50 years and MacroVoices is by far the best program I’ve ever listened to. I do not miss any broadcasts thanks to the podcast system. Erik and Patrick are so insightful but they don’t do a hard sell either.
Their financial perspective and advice is always on target and is always worth a listen because they have such great guests and add their own points of view.
Give it a try.
The Best
I have been listening for years. Chuck has the best Apple podcast and guest and I truly enjoy. Keep up the good work!
