Reviews

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.

I wish they would upload What Are Your Thoughts here as well

These people just shoot the bull about the market and the economy. Very entertaining, relaxing to listen to.

Excellent show. Josh reminds me of Vinny from The Big Short. Keep it coming!

The best combination of information and information period. The only way it could get better is if (and when) the my have francesa on

Love this podcast so much, started listening bc of the Tim Dillion episode and kept listening. Now I actually understand why crypto is a scam. Love the chemistry with the guest. Big fan highly recommend this podcast. #StocksOnlyGoUp

First time long time. Excellent podcast. Must listen. I too learned to ride a bike in the Merrick Jewish Center parking lot.

Been following Josh and his team for a while, always entertaining but more importantly informative and educational. I’ve picked up great recommendations for, books, podcasts, movies etc. I’m always interested in learning,they help “fill the bill”.

The podcast is great. There is an awkward 10 minutes of random conversion at the beginning. Skip that. The guests are diverse and they bring the thunder. Great start to your Friday.

When I was younger I used to look forward to Fridays because our middle school served french fries at lunch. Now that I’m older, while I still love fries, I look forward to Fridays because I know there will be a new Compound and Friends episode dropped into my feed. Every week they have a very well-informed guest that is plucked from their niche of the tech or finance or media industries and dropped into Josh and Michael’s rules-free playground for very topical and engaging banter. There never feels like there is a script or agenda and the content is always fresh. The best part of the show is getting introduced to their guests… like a Malcom Gladwell book, I always feel smart and like I’m in on the joke after I finish an episode.

Great podcast. Well versed hosts with top notch guests. JB comes across as a DB on CNBC, but seems more relatable on this podcast.

Not having more JC is just irresponsible. In all seriousness, great finance podcast and excellent conversation. The guest list is top notch and I find myself learning something new every week.

Would love a show speaking to how the sell side analysts have too many conflicts to do their job objectively. I used to be one. I know

this podcast is fire. the ability to weave laughing with learning while discussing what could otherwise be dry financial and economic topics is what makes this podcast so great. i enjoy the insights and guests and look forward to listening to each new episode. oh and the intro song is a banger

So much information and insights being provided…

It’s difficult these days to find media that is both entertaining and educational, but Josh and Michael are doing it exceptionally well. I’ve always enjoyed Josh on CNBC, so I’m glad he’s doing this podcast too. Got hooked a couple months ago and now I look forward to every Friday morning to listen, learn, and laugh along the way. I enjoy their sense of humor and they bring on insightful guests to interview. Josh, I fully expect you to do this podcast until you’re at least 70 and no less.

these guys are really entertaining, smart and appealing to younger people. i saw josh on tv and found this.

I only listen to every episode

Josh and Michael are engaging hosts and welcome interesting guests every week. This is a weekly finance/markets/economy show that is informative, comical, and all around entertaining. I love taking a nice long walk on the weekend and listening to The Compound and friends! Keep up the great work guys. Also shout out to Duncan

Will unfollow if more episodes aren’t produced

Awesome show! Can’t wait for next week.

So so good.

Big words. Brown talks beta. Batnick wears hats. Sub-par movie reviews. Great show

I love the show! Batnick and Josh are a must listen every week. Can you do me a favor? Every time the disclaimer comes on Josh says something like “uppa-flect” instead of what I assume is meant to say “do not reflect”. Love you guys but I’ve never heard this word before. @leolog on twitter.

Big fan of the show - great guests, interesting market insights and entertaining. I look forward to listening each week. However, (and I say this because I know Josh and Mike have a sense of humor), The Compound T-shirt is trash. Specifically, I bought the VIX T-shirt but didn’t see that the shirt material was made out of sandpaper on the website. I considered using the T-shirt as a rag around the house, but concerned it might damage my furniture and/or floors. 😀 All jokes aside, the podcast is fantastic but the T-shirts are no bueno.

A while back I ran into Josh Brown in an elevator while we were both ducking out of a country music performance. Didn’t even realize it was Josh until after the fact. All that to say, if Josh truly does not like country music, then I will add a sixth star to this review. Great podcast! Always fun and insightful with excellent guest. I am in the financial planning industry and enjoy the perspectives and focus on markets and asset management. The crew does a great job of presenting this info in a straightforward way. No hidden sponsorships or investment pitches involved which is a plus. If you want to learn a bit, stay up to date and chuckle a couple times, this is a great subscribe. If I start hearing country music songs in the intro, I will rethink this entire review.

In the past few weeks Josh and Michael have had me browsing (allegedly over-priced) real estate on Long Island and the Netflix listings for Peaky Blinders. In an era where most will offer a hot-take opinion or deep passionate knowledge, but rarely both, The Compound & Friends is truly a breath of fresh air. It is a must-listen each and every week, and when the intro music finally drops (thanks Duncan) the smile on my face is a mile wide. With just enough finance and economics training to make me dangerous (to myself!) the hosts and their guests have my brain reeling to catch-up with rapid fire analyses of the week's financial and economic news. All that with recommendations for the best burgers in the city, movies, and the latest streaming options. Leaves you weary and enlightened!

I came to the US from Cuba six years ago. I knew learning English before getting here was a must, and I did so, mostly, by watching all of my favorite movies and TV shows in English without Spanish subtitles, always having music in English on in the background, and reading English books. Add a year of proper academic English studies, and I was set. I got really interested in the markets in 2020, as many others did as well. I opened a small account on TD and made a few trades, although, I will acknowledge, I didn’t know much about what I was doing at first. In a way, the markets were as unknown to me as English was a decade ago. For about two years now, I have immersed myself in a similar learning process. Have traded “The Sopranos” for “What Are Your Thoughts”, Tarantino and Nolan for Michael and Ben at “Animal Spirits”, and each weekly episode of “The Compound and Friends” has become the music of choice for Friday’s commute. As extremely complex as markets seemed to be at first; although acknowledging how multilayered, interconnected, and unpredictable it all is: financial markets, the economy, politics, human psychology, etc, my understanding of all this is better now, as is the roadmap to a well-planned retirement / financial literacy. To the Compound Team, I truly appreciate all of your content. On top of delivering extremely valuable opinions and knowledge, you do so in a way that also entertains, and more importantly, that it feels genuine, unvarnished and honest. From this (newly) American citizen, compounding the way towards my second freedom, thank u!
