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”.)

It’s great!
It is a great pod. I always learn something about the markets and investing. Plus, I really enjoy the book and TV recommendations. Wouldn’t have read Rocket Men without them. I always listen when released.

Great job guys!
I’ve only recently started listening but am very impressed. Great to get a measured viewpoint on the markets, whilst making it good humoured and approachable. Keep it going!

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.

Candid banter that brings a smile to my face!
Thank you Michael and Ben for an entertaining and educational look at the financial world and media. You guys are so smart and well-read, but at the same time brutally honest about how little you and others really know about stuff. Once I've figured out when you're actually being sarcastic, it brings a smile to my face and reminds me to take everything you hear with a "pince of salt"... Jeff (Preston, UK)

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.

Great podcast!
I’m usually streaming CNBC during market hours...but this is a great break for me. Ben and Batnick have a very good “water cooler” discourse that the millennial PM/IA can truly relate to...I’ve started with the latest episode and have gone backwards. Love it! Keep it coming, great show!

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.

Great Podcast
This is a great podcast. Two smart guys talking investing, markets, books, movies, and anything else they think is interesting. They have intelligent things to say, and combine relevance and irreverence in a nice balance.

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.
