Listener Reviews

With Gary Lindzon

I think this podcast is so entertaining. It feels like people sitting in a living room talking authentically. I always learn something, and while the cast is far more knowledgeable than me, I never feel like I’m being talked down to.

Dope charts was great. If you want to hear 4 clueless people sitting around guessing how the market works listen to 60/40 - which was aimless. Would have been better from Shake Shack

Haley Sacks is killin’ me.

I am a young investor and have loved listening to Josh and following him on CNBC when he is on. He reminds me of my dad always telling me to do nothing in times of exuberance or extreme pessimism. I have read his book as well and it’s great! He is the real deal and so true and authentic.However the podcast with Dan Nathan and Dow Jones girl, was just awkward. Definitely should have been on at different times. Her sense of humor just is too out there. Would have loved to just hear Dan Nathan solo on the show.

Love the show! Also the content that Michael and Josh put out on YouTube on Tuesdays is excellent. Honestly some of the best things that came out of the last year plus. Just listened to the 9/17 episode though, and there just seems to be too much going on. Too much talking over each other, and the standup routine Haley was going with was starting to get irritating. Too much of an act versus an intellectual conversation. Obviously you got to entertain so tough balance, don’t mean to be overly critical, but it stood out to me this time. Looking forward to next week, thanks guys!

I know absolutely nothing about investments or basketball but I love this show.

Josh cuts through it. He's an expert on human nature and gets to the essence of the important subjects of the day.

Funny and informative. Terrific banter between the host(s) and guests. My only criticism is that the words “like” and “right” are used entirely too much.

Great investing advice

These guys are real, tell it like it is. My favourite listen of the week.

I love this show and the strong convictions that are shared. I hope that this show will continue as-is for years to come.

Downtown Josh Brown and Michael Batnick are no-nonsense, rational investors and all around cool dudes (listen to me talk about them as if we’re buddies). Not worried about sounding smart or pumping their own interests, these guys offer a glimpse into the word of sensible investing and financial topics.

I really enjoy listening to this podcast and the animal spirits podcast with Ben and Michael. They provide interesting insights and random anecdotal stories. My one criticism is that they have too many people on some episodes and it becomes hard to listen . To me the max should be 3 voices. Overall great podcast regardless. A+

JB his crew and guests host a very entertaining podcast talking about personal finance and investing while cracking jokes and sharing anecdotes. Josh sounds chill and laid back but he is very well read and rigorously studies many of the concepts he talks about.Highly recommend

Title says it all, you think you know investing and finance but don’t listen to these guys? What are you a knucklehead?

Nothing better than learning while laughing! These guys keep it real. Great show on varying financial and current events, pop culture topics.

Do you like making money? Do you like being entertained? What else do you need? Start listening. You’re welcome.

These guys are fantastic. A great combination of down to earth approach with great industry knowledge and always relevant content. I’ve become a religious follower of the compound and animal spirits. Love the ritholtz group. Keep it up fellas

These jokers are terrific

Updated review: Josh has begun to redeem himself. This new show is interesting and isn’t full of Josh’s leftist political views. Please continue creating shows in this new format. Initial review: I subscribed to this Podcast thinking I would be hearing topics about finance. But after listening to the start of three casts, they all started with a common state controlled media (main stream media) narrative. I don’t want more negative political news. I don’t care what his views are because guess what, I can think for myself. Don’t waste your time. This guy is not worth the time. I can hear political news all day long if I wanted to. But I chose not to.

Great show - switching from Animal Spirits to this show as Ben seems to be moving toward socialism the last 18 months.

Love the new relaxed, conversational format. Good job carving out a niche from all the other investing podcasts that get too wonky technical at times.

Great show from Josh and the team.I’d really appreciate some show notes with links to charts and articles discussed.
