“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either (a) the podcast replays previously aired episodes (without mentioning this in the intro) or (b), airing very outdated podcasts some mentioning the Great Recession of 2008 going on,...”Read full review »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!”

“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 »

“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 »

“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 »

“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 »

“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 »

“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 »

“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!”

“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 »

“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 »

“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 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”
