The Pete the Planner® Show

I listen to no less than 20 financial podcasts a week but when PTP comes out, it goes to the top. It’s real life examples every week with funny banter. The format of listening behind the scenes then going live is also entertaining. Keep plugging away folks, you’re doing a great job. That case with the broker stealing the client’s money was riveting and heartbreaking.

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.

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.

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.
