The Seinfeld of Finance Podcasts!

I've been tuning into financial podcasts for several years now, and let me tell you, most of them are as fresh as week-old bread, recycled topics and ads galore. But then there's the PTP show, the Seinfeld of personal finance podcasts—it's about nothing, and that's what makes it gold. Sure, they throw in some solid financial info and banter, but what really shines are the hosts. Peter's humor is so suburban-dad, it's practically wearing socks with sandals; Dame's got that high-class redneck vibe going strong, and Kristen? Well, she's the glue holding these two together, keeping them from bickering over who had the better hairline in their glory days.

Nice show

This is a show I will continue to listen to into the future because of the information discussed and expanded upon throughout. The host, Pete, thinks he is some sort of comedic genius (he isn’t) but his co-hosts are there to keep him somewhat in check. I am growing in my financial acumen by listening to this show so again, I will continue to listen. Even if it’s hate listening.

Great blend of comedy and finance

Can personal finance be funny? No, but at least these guys try.

Also, I thought the show was great before, but adding Kristen has been a huge improvement.
