Highly recommended
This podcast is going to rock your world.

Top Ticked
This show was amazing they would get on unique smart people with various views and lots interesting digestible information. They have put this millennial robot on the show 3 times now and find it to be a slog to listen to the episode every time. Not trying to be a hater, she seems very knowledgeable but Michael and Josh are very conversational which is needed on a podcast. That’s why everyone loves the Jill on Money episodes. Please find people that are easier to speak with and less data heads…

Salt of the earth podcast
As a professional commodities trader my urge to dabble in stocks is strong. Josh and Michael help keep me sane and informed. Their views on personal finance and the markets are distilled and long term. It is refreshing to hear calm and rational voices in the sea of noise. Thank you for entertaining me during the long hours on a trading desk.

One of a kind investing podcast
This is definitely worth listening to. I really enjoy the occasional humor and pop culture references. Josh usually brings in great guests. Unfortunately, Batnick is sometimes loud and obnoxious. He likes to interrupt people. I deducted 1 star because of him. The What Are Your Thoughts? episodes have improved recently with the regular appearances of Nick Colas from DataTrek.

Great show
Love this show. Entertaining and always want to hear what Josh has to say about investing.

Great Job Callie
Great job by Callie filling in for Josh!

Good podcast
These people just shoot the bull about the market and the economy. Very entertaining, relaxing to listen to. Not sure if there’s much actionable investing advise, but I don’t think that’s their goal.

Show has changed and not for the better
In 2022, the show was a good guiding voice for reasonable behavior and caution. It really cautioned people about risks and problems. In 2024, they have completed transition to full on FOMO and YOLO pushing every sell-side idea. Josh is clearly lost in bragging about what he created; he wants to melt up like Dan Ives. Michael is real like his counterpart on Animal Spirits, Ben. AS is now clearly the better show.

Keeping it 100
Great educational trading resource!

DYING 😂 re: Crowdstrike hype
I love Josh but love him more when he is wrong (cuz hes so arrogant). He has been hyping Crowdstrike for months and the fact this "security" company just destroyed their reputation in the stupidest way ever is gold. They will be sued into bankruptcy

Fantastic!
Great chemistry between hosts, always interesting material. A must listen for anyone that works in financial services.

Best Financial Content in Podcastland
TCAF, WAYT, and Animal Spirits are the trifecta of shows that has the perfect blend of education and entertainment. Lectures tend to be boring regardless of how much you like the topic. Entertainment usually won’t teach you a whole lot. That’s exactly what these shows offer. Josh Brown, Michael Batnick, and Ben Carlson have amazing chemistry and knowledge. I genuinely feel like I’m listening to friends chit chat. They don’t always agree and everything, which is refreshing.

So Good …
A weekly must listen. Josh and Mike make an hour and a half seem like 30 mins.

Wen Najarian’s
Stephanie Link was great! It’s very cool to hear Josh on a podcast with his CNBC cast-mates. Now, wen Najarian’s? That would be epic.

Review…..
Best markets podcast in the system

Finest investing pod known to mankind
What else is there to say?

So good!
These guys really have the pulse of the market. But what makes them the best is the way the way they zero in to the heart of the matter.

Favorite finance pod
Josh salt of the earth brown is the best

Best Podcast, Only One I Catch Every Single Episode Of
Not only is it my favorite investment podcast but it’s my favorite all genre podcast. Make no mistake; Josh Brown is Salt of the Earth in the streets but a freak in the spreadsheets. 10 Stars.

Salt of the Earth
Josh Brown please revisit “Salt of the Earth” definition. Proud Union Longshoreman for 40 plus years here. On my whiteboard at work: ‘Work. Save. Invest.’ When I can wrestle the remote from fellow workers at breaks and lunch - I will flip on CNBC. When you are on I say ‘Listen up Downtown Josh Brown is talking!’ ‘This guy is the Salt of the Earth.’ Meaning - a very good and honest person, down to earth, unpretentious. I never miss an episode of “The Compound and Friends” podcast. I highly recommend it to any and all who want to learn and laugh to do the same. Six stars if I could. I hope you take this as a compliment - I have no doubt you would hold up your end down on the docks.

Unique investing podcast
This is worth listening to weekly. I enjoy the occasional humor and pop culture references. They bring in some great guests and have interesting discussions about the market and economy. Unfortunately, Batnick is usually loud and obnoxious. He regularly interrupts people and can be rude. I deducted 1 star because of Batnick. Lastly, I’m not a fan of their What Are Your Thoughts? episodes.

The Best!
6th best investing podast? I'm going long on that ranking, goin' to Number 1, baby!

One of the best good quality financial pods
Really love these guys. Great episodes always and good list of guests. Learned a lot.

Fantastically entertaining financial podcast
Never thought a financial podcast could be entertaining, these guys pulled it off. Informative and fun.

TCAF PDCAST
TCAF is my favorite investing podcast. Josh & Michael, keep up the excellent work. From a retired Wharton MBA in Finance, raised in Queens, but living in Texas for the last 45 years, and fully focused on investing for the last 8 years.

Love this show
I’ll start with a couple little issues. 1. Josh hates Twitter/Elon Musk and finds a way to bash them almost every episode 2. They spend too much time talking about restaurants in NYC. No one cares that you think that restaurant on 5th avenue is better than the one in Brooklyn Apart from these two minor annoyances, this is the best finance podcast in the business. Always worth your time. As a fellow bald, Michael is the man.

Outstanding Podcast!
Another great episode with Josh and Michael!

These guys are great.
I feel like I’m back on the trading floor listening to this podcast. They tell it like it is and I enjoy their sense of humor as well.

League Of Their Own
These guys are truly in a league of their own. Between the banter, guests, and current market discussions, you won’t find a better business and investing podcast out there.

Great show
Fun listen with good chemistry between the hosts and guests
