Unfortunately, this is a decent podcast paired with an insufferable delivery method. ironically, quite the uncorrelated parity!

I know some people are complaining about all the sound bites (which aren’t present in earlier episodes) but the content here is fantastic. As someone who wants to be a DIY investor and gain an understanding of asset classes, portfolios, etc I have found it super-helpful. I’ve even learned to...Read full review »

I heard this show had good content but couldn’t get past all of the repetitive sound bites thrown in. If the content is good, the audience doesn’t need to hear a bunch of random sounds spliced in. Can you please just talk?

Every epipsode would be about 5 minutes if he didn’t insist on constantly interrupting the content with random audio clips. It could be a good podcast if it wasn’t completely unlistenable.

Awful and distracting sounds and sound bytes ruin what is probably good information. Sounds like it’s edited by a 12 year old gamer. Not listenable - gave up after three episodes. Highly recommend to wannabe podcasters on a lesson on what NOT to do.

Hands down the best personal finance podcast available. Listen if you want to turn your knowledge of investing up to 11.

Found through a redit post and have been binge listening since. Best explanation of gold and bonds and their purpose in a portfolio that I’ve heard.

This content is great for those who are retiring, retiring early, semi retitring or living on a fixed income. Also good for saving long term. Frank is quirky. First I learned to get used to all the souond clips from days gone by and now I love hem.

There's probably some decent information buried in these podcasts, but the obnoxious overuse of soundboards makes it unlistenable. Is this early 2000's talk radio or a financial podcast?Read full review »

The sound bites and sound effects absolutely kill what would otherwise be a good podcast. They ruin the flow and distract from the useful info.
I am so SMRT via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/23
Eye-opening insight. Definitely worth a listen. Start from episode 1.
Clerikson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/22
I love the actual content of Frank’s podcast. What I don’t like are the audio snippets they are peppered throughout the podcasts. Half of the show is filled with one liners to the point of absolute distraction. I would listen to everyone podcast but it’s really too painful with all the one liners.

Educational, informative, thought provoking and entertaining - great semi-weekly podcast.
christhepacerfan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/22
Look folks, this is conservative investing. The goal of Risk Parity Radio is not to make you rich, it’s to design a portfolio that lets you safely take out more than the 4% rule would allow in retirement. It will challenge what you know about retirement investing and that’s a good thing. Bonus:...Read full review »

I stumbled across this podcast and have enjoyed every single episode. Well it can be challenging to fall the seemingly endless stream of performance numbers, Frank’s thorough and detailed analysis of the sample risk parity portfolios is excellent. In addition, his discussions and reviews of...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to Risk Parity Radio almost since the beginning and I’ve learned a ton. Frank is able to impart complex topics and make them understandable. A fantastic teacher. I’ve been interested in finance for a long time but this is an area of investing that I hadn’t really been exposed...Read full review »
Surfdog75 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/18/22
RPR helped me navigate moving from the accumulation phase in the run-up to retirement, to knowing what to do with my money once I was ready to actually retire. A financial advisor will say, “split your money between stocks and bonds” but that isn’t comprehensive advice. I’ve used the principles...Read full review »
Goats Will Rule the World via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/22
Worth it for the Financial Miswisdom rants alone, you’ll also take away a nugget or six from every episode. If you’re transitioning from your accumulation phase to your decumulation phase, this is the podcast for you. Don’t start with the latest episode unless you already understand risk parity...Read full review »

Frank Vasquez has the uncanny ability to explain complex financial topics in a very accessible and entertaining way.

Amazing information based on data and not media. This fills the bill for exactly what I was missing. I highly recommend you start from show 1. If you are looking for that next step as you transition into FIRE or “regular” retirement, then this is for you. I definitely put this in my top three...Read full review »

I’m getting close to financial independence, so this podcast came at a perfect time. Many podcasts talk about how to grow wealth, which is great, but not many talk about how to keep, and maximize the use of, what you have once you have it. This podcast answers those questions thoroughly and in a...Read full review »

This is it!! Frank shows you how to have a safe withdrawal rate. Frank tells it like it is and backs it up with data. Great retired guy who does the podcast for fun and willing to share his knowledge without compensation. He is doing it his way…. Because he can!!!
The Gratful Fred 11111 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/16/21
While I had been evolving our portfolio in this direction for a while, the insights have been very interesting and fun to explore. New listeners should definitely start at the beginning. Thanks Frank for all the education and the reference links!

Great focused content. Very helpful for DIY investing. Love the sound bites. Learned a lot about the fundamentals of risk parity. Just created my own aggressive test portfolio in M1: UPRO, TNA, TMF, UGL, 25% each. My version of a leveraged golden butterfly sans short term bonds. Very exciting....Read full review »

Great content sans sounds effects. Absolutely impossible to listen for more than 5 minutes straight. A little bit goes a long way. Cut sounds effects by 90% and it’s a 5 star show.
Tootseebel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/21
Very sound financial, but the constant sound bites are insufferable. Frank once brought it up on the pod when someone complained and he basically told his listeners to pound sand. I guarantee the vast majority of listeners would appreciate a significant reduction in the sound bites, Frank. Please...Read full review »

The info given on the show are good, but thoses sound effects are making the show unlistenable. There are other shows given out the similar useful info. Will not go back to this show until sound effects are gone or significantly fewer.

Frank, you are a wealth of wisdom and when I can just hear your advice like when you are on the Choose FI podcast, you are gold. But you are horrible when it comes to sound bites. They are poorly chosen, too long and distracting and it is very difficult to understand your message in between the...Read full review »

Just awesome. Love sound bites. Love the monthly rants. Love bringing in other tools like 10 step evaluation.

Great show. no Joke via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/21
As a recent retiree, I have been concerned with the stability of my traditional do-it-yourself financial portfolio, and, specifically, how I could trust the bond portion of my allocations. Turns out, thanks to Frank Vasquez, I learned much more than I anticipated. I feel like a Sunday driver,...Read full review »

Changed the way I look at diversification. Motivated me to simplify my portfolio as I had many funds which were correlated with each other. Keep up the great work!

Great podcast. If you’re like me, you want to grow your portfolio, but market swings make you nervous. RP portfolios manage the downside by offsetting market volatility through holding non-correlated asset classes. How do I know this? Frank taught me!
