“Stop with VC and bond talk. Not how u grow interest or entertain. The audience is home gamers, please more ETFs or crypto that’s not from fidelity.”

“This can be entertaining, but lately I I just skip it. I can only handle a few minutes of it at a time now. The hosts tend to go on tangents, so the flow isn’t great. They also give uninformed opinions too often. I typically don’t care for their guests on the talk your book episodes either....”Read full review »

“This feels like a weekly casual conversation with your fellow advisors. I’m an analyst and don’t talk to advisors as much as I used to, so this is a great way to catch up on what’s impacting the RIA world.”

“Always great information from hosts and guests, and the folks at The Compound & Animal Spirits are all pretty funny in their own ways. The conversational nature of the episodes and often hilarious banter between Michael and Ben make it one of my favorite shows. I’d wager hanging out with them...”Read full review »

“For a lengthy review of both Animal Spirits and The Compound and Friends see the TCAF review I wrote today.
The summary is both are great. The 2 best financial podcasts and 2 of the 3 best in any genre. Great work every week by Michael and Ben.”

“I feel guilty for not writing this review sooner. I’ve been listening weekly to Michael and Ben for years now, but haven’t done them the courtesy of sharing how awesome their podcast is. Whether I’m listening at 8am EST on my way to work on Wednesdays, or at 9am PST while I eat my lunch, I always...”Read full review »

“Him constantly cutting off Ben gets tiring. Ramit episode was hard to listen to, as the guest is condescending, looks down on people not from coastal cities or those who don’t share his progressive political views; no wonder Michael seemed to like him a lot. And too much talk about their personal...”Read full review »

“an entertaining podcast by a couple of finance “bros”:. They’re fairly smart for financial planners, which is a low bar. They need to incorporate more climate change and finance topics, as this is the single most important factor that will effect companies, the market and the world economy...”Read full review »

“Investing through the prism of a left-wing, beta male liberal
Short term, memory loss when it comes to the outrage of Twitter policies. Years of conservatives being stifled. Now, if you liberals get some of their medicine, and now there’s the faux outrage”

I’ve lost count of the number of episodes I’ve turned off early after losing the will to live following yet more crypto chat. Go for The...”Read full review »

Lately he even ventured into the “generational conflict” zone. Lazy thinking. So i’ll sum up podcast...”Read full review »

“I found the pod via the common sense blog which always seemed reasonable. The ads they shill for (art micrownership? Buy Tulips much?) really negate their validity as decent financial podcasters.

“After the FTX implosion, I tweeted Michael and Ben asking for an apology for shamelessly shilling blockfi on multiple episodes of the pod. I wonder how many users lost money?
