Two multimillionaire’s just scrapping to get by
Brace yourselves for 1 hour a week of the finest gaslighting by two multimillion dollar “Everyman” who just wish everyone would shut up and be appreciative to live paycheck to paycheck while their high wealth private money market manipulation management business flourishes.

One of the best
Love this pod. Talk your book could change but the regular episodes are fantastic and simple. Learn to stop listening to all of the bearish charlatans out there and slowly build lifelong index positions. Love the banter, just like I do on compound. Hard right political people wishing for disasters and a bear market - kick rocks. Everything is good and you’re mad that you bet against this bull market. Stop making everything political, it will only hurt you. Great stuff Ben and Michael. Keep it up.

They Care…
So glad to hear that Ritholtz is donating $1 million to Hurricane victims. Ben and Michael are donating $500,000 each from their own wealth as a well. Coming soon is Ben’s home down payment assistance program. Michael get out now!

Sort of Entertaining, Not Good
This can be entertaining, but I decided to unsubscribe. I could only handle a few minutes of it at a time. The hosts tend to go on tangents, so the flow isn’t great. They also give uninformed opinions too often. I typically don’t care for their guests on the talk your book episodes either. Michael Batnick is officially annoying. He can be obnoxious and inconsiderate of others. Overall, I would not recommend this podcast.

Dishwasher Loading
In every partnership, there is a person who stacks the dishwasher like a Scandinavian architect and a person who stacks the dishwasher like a racoon on meth.

Talk your book
Stop with VC and bond talk. Not how u grow interest or entertain. The audience is home gamers, please more ETFs or crypto that’s not from fidelity.

My favorite finance podcast.
Two smart and relatable finance experts who explain high end macro trends while keeping the listener grounded on their personal investing strategies. Ben is who I strive to be and Michael is who I am, except for the movie takes...

Casual Peer Talk
This feels like a weekly casual conversation with your fellow advisors. I’m an analyst and don’t talk to advisors as much as I used to, so this is a great way to catch up on what’s impacting the RIA world.

The best
The best finance podcast out there. Entertaining and informative. It’s a must listen every week.

One of my favorite podcast streams
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 Michael and Ben make it one of my favorite shows. I’d wager hanging out with them would be a blast.

Fantastic
For a lengthy review of both Animal Spirits and The Compound and Friends see the TCAF review I wrote today.
The summary is both are great. The 2 best financial podcasts and 2 of the 3 best in any genre. Great work every week by Michael and Ben.

I dont miss it
I listen to almost every podcast. A mix of this and All In podcast is a perfect mix of finance podcasts.

Financial Entertainment
I’ve been listening to these guys for a couple of years now, since before the pandemic. I’m no whiz with financials, just a regular guy who is interested in such things.
I look forward to both their shows every week. The Wednesday one cracks me up all the time. And I learn things and sometimes I may not know exactly what they’re talking about but I get the direction their pointing.
I do note my taste in movies and TV programs they critique is very different from there’s. And that’s part of the fun.
I hope they continue to put out quality episodes for years to come.

Entertaining
This is pretty good. I am familiar with Michael Batnick from The Compound and Friends. It’s entertaining. But, they tend to go off on tangents, so the flow isn’t great. They also give uninformed opinions. I typically don’t care for their guests on the talk your book episodes.

How much do you need to make to be rich?
Love this podcast. Long time listener, first time reviewer. Great delivery and great content. I enjoyed this week’s movie lists. Sean has much better taste in movies than Mr. Batnick. Case in point: Bone Tomahawk.

entertaining finance “bros”
an entertaining podcast by a couple of finance “bros”:. They’re fairly smart for financial planners, which is a low bar. They need to incorporate more climate change and finance topics, as this is the single most important factor that will effect companies, the market and the world economy over the near to long term. They frequently have guests that range from borderline charlatans to financial wizards. Always entertaining, sometimes informative - I listen every week.

Late
Can you please publish the same day you are recording. Isn’t there some software that will publish it automatically. Day old podcast is like old news.

Ben = The Grinch
This is the best investing + lifestyle podcast out there despite Ben almost ruining the magic of Christmas for my daughters 2 min into last week’s episode. Look no further for keeping yourself up to date with the markets, Michael’s neighbor’s current home asking price, and Michael’s latest contractor interactions. Keep up the good work gentlemen!

Great podcast, but Batnick can be clueless at times
Someone please tell Batnick part of the reason Musk bought Twitter was to expose the massive FBI and Democrat election interference. America is better for it.
