Won’t invest
Good content, but will not invest with them due to their opposition to forcing China to play fair in trade.
They don’t care about Americans’ future, only their AUM.

One of the best
Excellent show. I have downloaded ~30 podcasts regarding financial markets. This is definitely one of the best. Very intelligent and accessible.

Who knew?
He once made a living (clears throat) by shorting Amazon. Now, Michael Batnick helps retail investors navigate the market. Ben and Michael are tremendous, great show.

Great but...
Really love this show but I do not like how Michael uses bad language for no apparent reason. I’ll for sure change to a five star when I don’t have to hear him curse.

Great show
Very interesting and fun show. These guys have great chemistry together. Love hearing their thoughts every Wednesday. No complaints, except for several shoddy TV recommendations.

Excellent Show for Financial Pros
I’ve been listening to this show since the very beginning, and have continued to be impressed with the content. It’s a great way to keep your pulse on the investment universe. Easily my favorite part is Michael not listening when Ben goes off on a tangent. Keep up the good work!

Funny and informative
I have long been a fan and regular reader of the finance and investment blogs of Michael Batnick and Ben Carlson. In the podcast format, they are not only informative but quite a lot of fun. They have excellent chemistry and give an 11,000 basis point effort on every show. I truly look forward to my Wednesday mornings, when this podcast usually drops.
Very well done, gentlemen.

Informative, entertaining, and enjoyable.
Michael and Ben are awesome-- not only informative, but (most importantly) entertaining. This is what sets these two apart from other financial podcasts out there (I have tried and tested 10-20 finance podcasts over the past year...).
Going on a trip soon and looking forward to the backlog. Please keep up the good work, gentlemen.

Great Content!
I have been following Ben’s blog for a few years now and have been listening to the podcast since it came out. As a financial advisor, I enjoy what Ben and Michael deliver to the masses in terms of behavioral finance and making sure people have perspective on their timeframe of investing and know what they own and why they own it.
Thanks for delivering unbiased content to the podcast community!

Awesome Pod
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.

Like this
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”.)

Pretty sure I've listened to the whole series twice + read & watched a few of your suggestions. Thanks & keep up the great work!

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.

Great Podcast
I listen to a lot of financial podcasts but this is my favorite. I particularly like the conversational format and appreciate the honesty in their discussions. I highly recommend this podcast for anyone who enjoys thinking about the financial system.
