Love these guys! They are really entertaining and provide excellent financial content on the markets. They also dive into market analysis and why the markets are moving the way they are, while being hilarious at the same time.

Another great episode with Michael Cemaleast!

Listen every week while on my run. Pointed questions, excellent banter, learn a ton, and openly laugh multiple times per show. An instant classical was Michael’s “should I be excited, or should I sell” when opening the discussion on investing in China with Michael Cembalest. I stopped and replayed this section of the show three times, causing me to uncontrollable laugh out loud each time. Major Bonus: ending the show with Favorites. Keep on bringing it, my brothers and sisters at The Compound. And I hope the team realizes the meaningful joy and knowledge they are delivering to the masses. Be Well, Larry from Ojai, CA

A tour de force!… engaging, entertaining, educational… best podcast! Thanks Josh, Michael & Team Steve Z

You guys rock but Ives episode is a tough listen. Will the last guy in boutique Sell side research please turn out the lights…

I listen to The Compound and Friends, Ask the Compound, and Animal Spirits. RWM takes a lot of my podcast bandwidth. Interesting market commentary, even for someone who is mostly indexed with retirement accounts 100% in Target Date funds.

Keep up the great work Josh, Michael!

Been listening to various financial podcast over the past couple of months and this one is a great combination of being informative and entertaining. Also have great guest speakers the show.

It’s a treat to listen to people who have so much info to share while laughing and enjoying themselves and their audience. I look forward to every episode. Pro tip: listen to the pod and THEN watch it on YouTube. Great job. Love the show. No, this is not your mom. 😂

Great podcast with Dan Ives.

Great episode! I subscribed to Sam’s email and it is so insightful! Thanks.

For me this is the most informative and entertaining financial and borderline pop culture podcast available. Been listening since the beginning and show just keeps getting better. Do yourself a favor and subscribe!

This podcast is so good, entertaining and educational I prioritize it over other listening (like other podcasts, and audible books). Love it. Keep up the good work.

I’ve listened for a long time. Always impressed by the breadth of the knowledge, depth of thought and their humility. This show serves as a resource to me and my practice as a financial advisor. Many thanks to the hard work of everyone on the show. Sincerely…thank you.

Listening to the Compound and friends is one of the highlights of my week! Educational and hilarious!

Josh and Micheal provide an unbiased long term view of the market. Are well spoken and ask informed questions of their guests. Their guests include a variety of opinions and view points (not always a bill or bear case). Josh and Micheal press in the basis of these views in a professional tone - conceding nobody really knows the markets future. I prefer Thursdays show to Tuesdays and rarely miss listening to a Thursday show!

Or at least sound smarter at dinner parties? Or would you like to start getting invited to dinner parties? Then start listening to this content. Now. You’re welcome.

To begin, I just want to say this is the first review I’ll ever write on a podcast. Mainly because I could not find the “Leave a review” button but also because I just haven’t found a podcast that I genuinely love tuning in to. That said, I’ve been listening to The Compound for almost two years now after one of my co-workers recommended it. Loved at first listen! Josh and Michael bring such great character, topics, and lively brother banter to each show, whether it’s a What Are Your Thoughts or a Compound & Friends episode. What Are Your Thoughts is my favorite out of the two though, since these started being released in 2023. I look forward to each Tuesday night because of it and can’t wait to watch it on YouTube 😆. Don’t get me wrong though, I love the Compound & Friends episodes too, they just aren’t as much fun as Josh and Michael alone on What Are Your Thoughts. My favorite show guests are Tom Lee, JC, and Belski the Bull. One thing I enjoy about Josh are his words, I learn at least one new word a week from the man and I’m kind of a southern boy so his Jersey accent helps me develop in listening. Two things I enjoy about Michael are his quick quick witted market calls and comments when he disrespects Josh, his podcast dad haha. Also, I love how John takes the “Chart Off” commands lightly, sometimes Josh and Michael can be overly commanding lol. So you wanted to know what’re my thoughts, here they are and I hope they bring a smile to the Compound’s podcast faces. 5/5 high fi ✋🏻

Very informative info, presented with sarcastic honesty about the difficulty of investing, which makes it fun as well. Great guests.

The guests are diverse in thought and the insights they provide are thoughtful. But The chemistry of the guys are what makes it so listenable and entertaining.

Love that you guys added WYT to the audio….

So accurate! Thanks for always being real!

So much info out there today getting buried by mass amounts of information. Josh and Michael make thing interesting and informative in a way that you can actually use and find more info about what they’re talking about. Great listen, always informative.

Topics and guests are always spot on!

I love this podcast! Thank you Micheal&Josh

Josh and Michael are amazing and they have a wide variety of guests. Love the show.

This is worth listening to weekly. I discovered this after becoming familiar with Josh Brown’s regular appearances on CNBC as an investment committee member on Halftime Report. I enjoy the occasional humor and pop culture references. They also bring in some great guests and have interesting discussions about the market and economy. Batnick sometimes interrupts Josh or their guests, which is kind of annoying. Batnick what is wrong with you? You were terrible on the 10/3 episode, so bad.

I’ve been investing since 1974 and I have read or listened to just about every financial publication you can image starting with Louis Rukeyser in the 1970s. This is by far the best financial podcast available to the average investor. Also entertaining with some very significant and thoughtful guests.

Guests Nick Colas ranks up there with Tony Dwyer. So insightful. Thanks for all the great content mixed with a touch of light humor. So fun to listen too.

Very educational and covers great topics with incredible guests. There is nothing like this show. top shelf !
