Best financial Podcast.
Ben and Michael you guys do tremendous job. Thank you for your time and all hard work you put in creating content like this.
They never talk about animals
They do a good job talking about money though
Highly recommend
Look forward to new episodes every Wednesday!
Came for Investing, Stayed for Dad Jokes
Michael and Ben have something special, they are so good at discussing topics in impartial ways without being too heavy handed. Sometimes I wish they would be more opinionated but that isn’t always the most useful thing when discussing matters of fact that can be interpreted differently, they do a very good job of checking their bias at the door. Start listening you won’t regret it.
Best Finance Podcast Ever Created
I’ve listened to more financial podcasts than I can count and this one is by far the best. If you’re looking to stay informed on financial markets or become a better investor you have to listen to these guys. Their information is so high quality I can’t believe it’s not behind a pay wall. Listen to one episode and you will never turn back.
My favorite investing/financial podcast
I absolutely love listening to this podcast. Michael and Ben know what they are talking about, have a great sense of humor and don’t take themselves too seriously. I’m in the wealth management industry and listen to stay up on what is happening and interesting in the economy, the markets and financial innovation. Keep up the great work!
Good show… especially about what not to do
I enjoy listening to the show. My main interest is hearing what Micheal has to say and to NOT follow his advice. He was wrong on Tesla, wrong on Bitcoin, wrong on the V shape recovery, wrong on Uber, wrong on Apple, wrong on GME, etc…
The Best
Love this podcast. Helped me stay sane during the pandemic. I could listen to Michael and Ben all day. Great content, I just wish there were more each week to listen to (“talk your book” doesn’t count lol).
Language
Great constant but the cursing is a bit over the top
Great new logo!
Love the bull and the bear
Great show!
Michael and Ben, hosts of the Animal Spirits podcast, highlight all aspects of investing and more in this can’t miss podcast! The hosts and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens!
Michael and Ben rock
Week to week this is consistently great! Love the Wednesday show the best, though the guys have had really interesting guests on the Friday show. Also I might even be learning something new every week. Keep up the great work!
These guys are clowns…
… But in my circles that’s a huge compliment. I’ve been in the asset management business for 20+ years and when I listen to the show, and I do so religiously, I feel like I’m chatting with colleagues… Needless to say that’s been missing in my professional life for the past year. Thanks Michael and Ben for exploring interesting and timely topics in an entertaining way. Keep up the good work! Update: Dodgeball overrated Ben? That comment is worth at least a one star downgrade. I’m starting to wonder if Batnick’s shoulders are getting tired... Another Dodgeball slight Ben? I may be outgrowing you. Time to upgrade. Thank goodness for Michael. PS, sounds like you have a broken Peloton.
Best finance podcast
As a young 22 years old, this podcast is not only enjoyable it’s informative. Of all the finance podcasts I listen to this is #1
Scintillating
I actually look forward to Wednesday and Friday mornings. By far my favorite pod and I listen to 15+ a day
Great stuff-
One of the best finance podcasts- I always get a couple of ideas each week. Ben Carlson is an amazing resource- his daily pieces are worth a read.
Awesome
I started listening to your podcast while in residency and now am an attending starting to put some of your advice to practice. I have shared your podcast with other doctors and your topics are now a talking point amongst our group. I have yet to show someone that has not liked it. I find your podcast more entertaining than a lot of the podcasts geared specifically to investing as a doctor. Thank you.
Excellent!
I listen every week. Perfect mix of investing, good books / reading, tv/movies, and an overall enjoyable listen.
Love it
Found you guys through josh brown. Love this pod. Well done.
Market Wrap
Excellent job giving a quick overview of what’s going on in the markets/world of finance. Appreciate how they sprinkle in a few longer topics and recommendations at the end.
Likeable, insightful, easy to listen to and follow
Great recommendations are always found through here on books and such and easy to listen to in the background to enhance financial literacy and trends
Favorite podcast !
Ben and mike are great at bringing insight and perspective on the evolving investment world. As a listener who’s also a financial professional, it’s hard to find the right balance of humor, intelligence, and candor. A highly underrated podcast — Keep it guys!
Top shelf
Great financial show with humor sprinkled in. Look forward to the show release every week.
Good podcast
More sophisticated than the average markets podcast and yet more normie-friendly at the same time
Great Podcast
I look forward to every new episode. The breadth of topics is great, love the finance especially and appreciate the extra content.
Love Ben and Mike
Great info every week. Very appreciative
Great stuff
This is awesome 👏
Spirited Animals
Michael and Ben are honest, excited, and determined to deliver quality information, education, and entertainment. Ritholtz has a plethora of great personalities and opinions. I’d recommend their content to anyone, whether it be this show, The Compound, or The Gold Mine.
Lots of info and not wonky
I really like these guys. Both are very sharp but with lots of every day, practical ideas. I would feel comfortable telling my kids to listen to this pod as a way to guide them through their financial lives.
