Customer Reviews
Clark Howard Show
Howard is so smart and interesting. He makes such wonderful and common sense points that people at all ages can learn from (I’m a young age 70. ) He has a great sense of humor that makes me laugh a lot ! I have been listening to him for years and I’m always bringing up his name and reiterating his advice to my family members and my social group. They always say to me “yes, we know about your podcast friend and all the great things he tells you ! “
Thank you, Clark and to your great staff for all that you do and teach us. You also are very humble man. God bless you ! Please don’t think about retiring- I’d miss you a lot!
Sensible advice
Advice the every day person can given in a easy to understand, concise manner. Enjoy listening to Clark. Also enjoy his Clark Stinks. Clark takes criticism well.
Honestly the best financial and consumer advice out there
I’ve been listening to Clark Howard in syndicate and podcast for decades now. It’s an investment of 30 and every time I listen and I always gain some value out of the topics discussed. Even when they’re not relevant to me. Furthermore, Clark just has a very kind demeanor and is a good human. I think him, and all of his fantastic staff, as Team Clark is an awesome one.
