As much as I love this podcast, I will stop listening until the current rotation of ads stop. I do not want to be told to “take a whiff of those pits and toes” first thing every morning. C’mon.

This show has a fair amount of good original content. However, I have noticed a lot more in the last year either (a) the podcast replays previously aired episodes (without mentioning this in the intro) or (b), airing very outdated podcasts some mentioning the Great Recession of 2008 going on,...Read full review »

I’m a young lady in the medical field with no financial education. I’m fervently interested to learn about financial literacy. This podcast is by far the first podcast I’ve listened to with practical advice on financial management. highly recommend listening to it.

A number of the readings have been quite old, and therefore seem less relevant and a bit stale. Would it be possible to focus on more recent financial insights? Thank you!

A great podcast to listen to everyday. Another portal that introduced me to the FI world.

Sure, subscribing would only be a small amount, but the way the ads are put at the start and end of almost every episode, seems very much like it’s done to be annoying enough to force listeners to subscribe just to get rid of the ads. Ended up just making me quit listening entirely.

I like the OFD podcast. I’m one of those recently introduced to the show and am listening from the earliest available episodes, working my way chronologically to the present. And I fully respect that they went from ‘ad-free free’ to ‘free with ads’ to monetize and pay for their efforts. ...Read full review »

Plenty of great content on this podcast! 10/10

I enjoy all the podcasts in this series. Diana has a nice voice and is enthusiastic. My frustration is that she isn’t yet very knowledgeable about the concepts and she doesn’t seem to recognize that there is much she doesn’t know yet. Her commentary seems so self congratulatory sometimes- and...Read full review »

I really like this podcast! I officially started paying off debt January of 2020 but started to fall in love with it summer of 2019. I was a huge DR fan (if you know, you know) but the show because too political and I wasn’t a fan of the direction the show was going into (cohosts). It was the...Read full review »

Great finance info have listened to every episode 1-300 and when diana took over it got better to listen to as I went back and listened to the old format wow Diana and the lack of ads is really refreshing thank you for listening to previous reviews nice job

Audio needs improvement. Might need a pop filter for the mic. Maybe a different mic. Try several low-end and high-end microphones, at least try 6 or 7. Even look at headsets such as Sennheiser chat. Have someone else listen to each test. Don’t skimp on the mic. Post-production audio processing...Read full review »

I have listened to Jill on money for almost a year now and had gained so much valuable information. Every week I get nuggets of wisdom that I have implemented. Thanks so much Jill and Mark!

This podcast was great back when Dan Weinberg was hosting. I’ve put up with the new host because of my respect for the Optimal Podcast series, but I’m out on OFD now. Diana has a horrible radio voice that is hard on the ears and she has no real finance experience except getting into debt. I don’t...Read full review »
Thee.don via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/12/21
Much preferred the show with the prior host. Miriam labels herself as an enthusiast, but gives an analysis for 2-3 minutes every show based on her own life, assuming the advice role of an expert. Sounds like beating debt is her only real experience. Using the show to advertise her personal...Read full review »
morethantheDaks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/27/21
Diana’s an engaging and thoughtful host. She really knows her stuff. Unfortunately, the blogs she reads from often focus on penny pinching and other boring or eyeroll inducing topics for people who aren’t on a shoestring budget. Diana’s insights are almost always the most valuable part of the...Read full review »

Diana is so engaging and believable.

Do you ever find yourself reading a crappy blog post that is a paid native advertisement for a product, and think “I wish someone would read this ad blog to me and also add more ads before and after the blog ad” then this podcast is for you!

Ok, I appreciate the fact that a lot of people will benefit from these helpful hints. Here are the reasons why I’m having a hard time loving this podcast: -At first glance it seems that the host is rounding up the best finance info on the internet; but in the end it just sounds like a random...Read full review »

Straight to the point with valuable information.

The voice modulation is so annoying. Sounds very artificial. Just say it in natural voice. I unsubscribed already.
Chidam via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/21
Likeable host, great info, vocal fry/crackling voice grates on my ears. If she refined her voice, I would love the podcast so much!

Ads
I enjoy the host and show itself, but the balance of ads to content it’s really bad.
just a bench via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/20/20
I just listened to the latest Q and A podcast. It was totally an advertisement for different sponsors. Ugh. I haven’t listened in a while. This is sad. What happened to this podcast?
tsbuffett via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/05/20
Short, concise, and straight to the point.
dhehdhjshgdhejwhehx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/01/20
I have always loved the show. Ever since Diania took over the show has drifted to a frugalist and minimalist show with not much on overall finance like the title of the podcast describes. Hoping the show gets back to finance. Not all of us are minimalist. I can’t even listen to the show at...Read full review »

I love the new host Diania! She is sharing great content, and is an amazing host and narrator. Can’t wait to listen to more episodes!
Rachelrichards92 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/03/20
Outstanding voice and tremendous commentary. Always a soothing feeling putting on daily!
BfBWLTD via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/20
This podcast is one of my “old” reliables. I appreciate how Diania shares how the blog post of the day relates to her life.
cristacolvin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/20
What the heck you’re talking about the price of a cup of coffee this is not the site are used to listen to was gone for two weeks I’m so disappointed hope this is a temporary condition 😑
Maureen, AN OK BOOMER via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/10/20
I really like to listen to Optimal Finance Daily to learn more personal finance and FIRE tips since I don’t have time to subscribe to a huge variety of blogs. Also I loved Diania’s intro story and she’s doing wonderful narrating the podcasts. Thank you for doing this show!

Good show and occasionally has great very usable information

Hi guys, I just wrote my first biz book. Only on amazon- B2B Sales Degree Any support from fellow entrepreneurs is greatly appreciated! Hope you like the read ! Great book for sales managers and team
AAAtime via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/27/20
This was a great podcast idea however when the show is under 8 minutes long most days and starts with 1.5 min of ads and ends with another minute of ads it’s not worth the time. If they get their ads back below 25% of the podcast I may resubscribe. You’re not fooling anyone when you start with...Read full review »
WhalesMangina via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/20
I listen to this podcast occasionally when I have about 8 minutes to fill. I find it very basic, as it is just a reading of short blog posts. But the podcast today literally suggested skipping dental insurance to pay off student loan debt. “If you decide to get your teeth cleaned...” What? Maybe...Read full review »

This podcast has given me a different perspective on money. I’m more conscious and more intentional with my money with listening to this podcast. Here’s to financial independence!
Mtedafy via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 03/30/20
This is such a great way to “read” the best of the blogs that are out there without having to search for them myself. So glad I found this podcast!!
Curefansc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/21/19
This pod is part of every morning for me. It’s like an accountability coach faithfully nudging me to behave financially. I need it. I listen to several other personal finance pods but it all started with optimal living daily when I was desperately looking for help with money. Thank you
I know loys of stuff now ! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/19
This podcast, the concept, the people and personality behind it, I love it!

Great delivery! You are very precise and offer much needed topics. I turn on your podcasts on Saturdays to get through my household chores. Listening to you get my wheels to churning😊😍
