I feel like I’m listening to my friends talk about the market and how it relates to life and the world around us. I love how it’s not dry, boring, and solely numbers based. There’s a “realness” to it that I can relate to. Thanks guys!

More Podcast, Less Sponsorship
The pod is great, but the sponsorship that has recently been added is a real downer. I don't need to hear investment managers trying to sell me their overpriced and unnecessary financial products.

Good podcast but reason I’m writing this is this new manager series. Terrible. The cliches from the jpm manager are throw up worthy. You guys flag waive on passive investing and then throw someone like this who is holding on to the active space for dear life. Doesn’t make sense. Coincidence that it couples with a jp ad to start the show?

My go to financial podcast.
Just found this podcast. I decided to start at the beginning so I am listening to the ones from March. Nice blend of infromation and commentary. Always something interesting. I have listened to a lot of different financial podcasts and I find that you have to listen to a lot of them before you find something interesting. Always something interesting here. Thank you Mike and Ben.

Like water cooler conversation
I run a solo RIA practice. It gets lonely sometime working by yourself. This show is the water cooler conversation that I don’t get to have!
I really enjoy listening to these Michael and Ben. Keep up the good work!

Panic?
Just stepped into this podcast — and thanks so much for this tight review of the overall investing space. It’s a wonderfully centering experience— and assuring! The snippets of news and research coupled with anecdotal experience (and personal research) make for a great business and finance podcast experience. Bravo! (One suggestion, and it might be my ears alone, but maybe batten the mics a touch to smooth the “p’s”.)

Awesome show
Love this podcast! Covers interesting material and provides commentary in a simple, easy-to-understand way. Have enjoyed both speakers (not just michaels) recommendations! Keep up the great work!

Great Podcast Series
Michael Batnick and Ben Carlson do a great job of catching many financial stories, studies, and surveys each week. Their wry senses of humor do a lot to bring these stories to life and are an enjoyable listen.

Show description
A balding, unironic wannabe Benjamin Graham hipster and his side kick PG rated ramp capital argue about the merits of surveys while not paying attention to each other on a Skype call.

Awesome show - informative yet entertaining
Great podcast delivered in a way that’s entertaining, and even funny at times. Kinda feels like you’re hanging with a couple of friends friends when you’re listening. Highly recommend

one of the best
Listen to about 100 hr/month of fin podcasts. This is one of the few I skip to the front when new one is released.

Highly Recommended
Love following these guys (and the rest of the Ritholz crew) on Twitter. Appreciate they’re approach to finance/investing and not having to wade through some of the meta BS that other investing podcasts offer.

Podcast and blogs are great
I got acquainted first with Ben Carlson through Ben’s blog, a wealth of common sense. I enjoyed his thought process and immediately starting listening to this Podcast when they started. At that time I wasn’t as familiar with Michael, but have since also started reading his blog. Both are great. I highly recommend them and this podcast.

This podcast is so good.
Not only are these two razor sharp and do a great job providing commentary on items of interest in the capital markets and investment management, but they have great rapport and are quite funny. Their intros - "trading 3x leveraged ETFs for the love of the game" and "I've never drank coffee, I've never been on Facebook..." perfectly encapsulate their personalities. So good.
