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.

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!

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.

The sweet spot
A perfect mix of in the weeds process and some higher level theory mixed with a bit of humor. I always feel like I learn something and was entertained while I did. Apart from some of horrible takes on movies (TOP GUN) I fantastic podcast!

Much respect
Just started listening, buddy at work said he’d been listening. I have to say I’m really impressed. I’m at the same stage in my life as Michael and Ben, I can relate to what they’re saying. Thanks for the motivation guys!

Best easily digestible financial podcast
Everyone knows target date funds can be confusing, not to mention, time consuming, to manage. Luckily, Ben breaks things down in to layman’s terms and Michael is there to make sure he doesnt get too over enthusiastic.
In all seriousness, these guys are great. If you're looking for stock picking advice you've come to the wrong place. Just solid commentary on financial markets that is easy to digest. Another reviewer commented that it’s like listening to two of your closest friends that have mastered their craft, which is a perfect description. Love the movie, book, and tv show recommendations at the end as well. Buy their books, subscribe to their newsletters, listen to Animal Spirits.

Fan since June 2019
I started my career in Wealth Management in 2016. I wasn’t a podcast guy until a friend recommended Michael and Ben, because they keep it simple, apply common sense, critical thinking, and give an educated opinion to the markets and everyday life.
I enjoy the back and forth fella’s, keep doing great work!

It Finally Happened
Absolute serendipity on Episode 185 at precisely 28 minutes into the podcast when Ben inadvertently pronounces Jeff Bezos’ name properly (BAE-zoes, not BEE-zoes). This is the only thing that has held me back from giving this podcast a 5-star review - now that it has happened the financial markets, and myself, can finally be at peace and PE ratios will slowly return to the realm of logic.
Great podcast though, you guys are awesome. Ben, please for the love of god come to the light and stay on the Baezos train

Great conversation financial podcast
Some specific points:
- Non-traditional hosts (they don’t appear to be the type of people who like to hear themselves talk)
- Good finance info
- Sounds like talking to knowledgeable friends
- Not too wonky

Makes sense (common) to me
Whether it is an intro to back door IRAs (wow that is legal??) to their weekly report from the spirit world, always worth a listen. I have enjoyed hearing their fundamental understanding of the economy evolve over the last year. At first I was not interested in the “talk your book” episodes but I found a few to be great. I would love them to talk to Stephanie Kelton about how investors should work with the crypto-MMT world we are muddling into.

The Dan Carlins of Finance
It’s so refreshing to hear a finance/investing podcast that doesn’t aggressively recommend certain stocks but still manages to comment on the markets. Their financial advice goes beyond the traditional finance podcasts that have dozens of episodes based on “the 10 things you should be doing” that we’ve all heard before as they bring in guests to their podcast.
