Listener Reviews

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.

No baggage, open, anything goes, like having a conversation with the duo and guests around a barbecue. Good ideas, no self importance. Josh at his best.

Josh and Mike, always enjoying your show and the guest line up. Please call out those loser commentators that say they are negative on the market but when the market goes up, then they say we were still invested. So many idiots like that on cnbc

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 !

Love this podcast, great analysis, great sentiment check for me and reminder not to trade based on emotions.

Actually, the show is brilliant. I’m a mid 60’s retired and currently active investor. I’m very involved with the market on a daily basis. I read about, listen to and follow the markets closely. This show, without a doubt is one of the highlights of my week. Josh and company are the perfect blend of seriousness and ridiculousness, mixed metaphors and personal experiences. Consistently good guests and content with thought provoking content. As Josh once said, “nothing is always anything ever”, but this show is close.

This is easily my favorite consistent/continual podcast.. I always enjoyed DTJBs candor on CNBC so having him in the raw w/ Batnick has been a formulaic touchdown. Can I buy shares in this podcast?!?!? Haha. Keep it up boys. Love the Strong Island vibes too. Keeps me plugged into reality from the aloha state - Mahalo!

“Exciting and alive but deeply genuine” so true!

Copacetic, Enlightening, and Succinct with a sprinkle of humor and banter. I’m a Finance major at a fairly well known tristate University and ever since a banker friend of mine introduced me to this show, none of my free time to, from or in between classes has gone by without this playing. Incredible hosts, incredible guests, incredible staff and incredible show.

You got to have Barry on more! He’s awesome!! I’ve learned a lot from this podcast. It’s got enough market info sprinkled with entertaining side conversations to keep you entertained. Great guests. Love it. Keep it up. Loved the new sit down style with just Josh. Like story hour

Always great information from hosts and guests, and the folks at The Compound & Animal Spirits are all pretty funny in their own ways. The conversational nature of the episodes and often hilarious banter between Josh, Michael, and Ben make it one of my favorite shows. I’d wager hanging out with them would be a blast.

A blend of financial commentary, analysis and just informative banter that makes listener feel like a Wall Street insider . Great Stuff

I’m new to investing and have learned a ton from this podcast. Josh and Michael give great straight forward insight. The guests are the best in the business. All that, as well as entertaining. Chart On!
