I have just stumbled upon your show. I started with Episodes 4 & 5, and have already decided I will use an episode or two in my course, Intro to Women’s & Gender Studies, which I teach at a community college. To mitigate college costs, I use Open Educational Resources (OER) so that...Read full review »

I landed on Kara and Tanja’s podcast through a google search recommending podcasts about finance. This wasn’t what I was looking for, to be honest, but damn I’m so glad I discovered it. I’m only on series 1, but each episode is thought-inducing and it makes you think about money, life and careers...Read full review »

I discovered Tanja by finding “Work Optional” and devoured it in a weekend, which naturally led me here where I’ve started binge listening from the beginning. I constantly find myself wishing I could be friends with them IRL, they are the types of women I want to be around and learn from. While...Read full review »

I have learned an incredible amount from your podcast. Keep up the good work and thanks.

Needed perspectives on women, money, and the systems that affect us. I’m listening to previous seasons and can’t wait for new episodes!
Amy Abroad via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/12/20
Information is well researched and presented. Get ready to binge listen.

I love all of the conversations and content. Well-researched and diverse content with great guests. A must listen for any financial feminist.

Loving everything about this inspiring podcast. Keep it up, ladies!

I just discovered this podcast and I love that there are so many back episodes. This is fantastic, so relevant, even though I’m in New Zealand, and I’m starting to enjoy my 30 minute commute to work while listening. Thank you so much!

Intersectional feminism, social justice, financial literacy, and as they say, “crushing the patriarchy.” Thanks for being a place for thoughtful conversation about some of these topics.

Thanks for giving the FI community a female/feminist spin!
OziSW via Apple Podcasts · Colombia · 02/04/20
This is a great well considered podcast and I can’t stress how much I enjoy these two’s attitude. Keep me coming.
dannykruger via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/20
Such a great team and useful discussions. As a female software engineer, I encounter many of the career obstacles that you all discuss. It's so helpful for me to hear from other women about this because I am literally the only woman out of 100 other people! My motivation stems from my need to...Read full review »

My wife is pregnant with our first child. After finding out, I started searching for resources for first-time parents. My research brought me to The Fairer Cents. Several of the episodes regarding the cost of motherhood and childbirth have been great listens and resources.
SayitaintLouis via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/20
I wish everyone listened to this podcast. The hosts of the Fairer Cents have really opened my eyes. I approach spending in a whole new way and am much more concerned with where I spend my hard earned dollars all because of this podcast.
Lorendoggler via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/08/20
I am a new listener to the podcast, but I really appreciate what information these ladies are spreading. As a pregnant woman and mother, the episodes on "The Economics of Motherhood" really hit home. Why aren't we talking about this stuff more?Read full review »
Rthompson620 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/20
Some good perspectives, but some whiny delivery at times. I really have enjoyed the deeper look into economic issues affecting women like the beauty and diet industries, and the costs of having (or not having) kids. Main critique is the music choices - they can be super grating and no one needs a...Read full review »

Until now, I have never scrambled for a pen and paper mid-podcast to write down advice. Your openness and guidance (and your guests’!) has increased my confidence and financial literacy after only a few episodes. 2020 is off to a great start with this show in my feed!

Just starting listening and love it!
kris_tara via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/29/19
I just love this podcast. Those women rock and are such a pleasure to listen to. I’m an older woman. Sometimes you need to hear what younger people have to say, to open your eyes. They not only talk about finances. They have given me a new perspective on equality between men and women. And they...Read full review »
Tante Jolie via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 12/06/19
This is my favorite podcast! Tanja and Kara are two total bosses, and come together to create amazing content. They approach each episode/topic backed with a lot of research, and truly make me look at things I *think* I understand in a new light. Love love love them and wish I could listen to a...Read full review »

I’m not sure what the male/female breakdown for the Fairer Cents audience is, but I’ll assume it skews towards women & non straight white males, and I can see why it’s awesome for women - it’s literally the first podcast I’ve recommended to my wife. But... it’s men who could benefit most...Read full review »

Sooo good, wise and insightful! Where has this podcast been all my life?!
Treebyleaf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/21/19
As I’ve actively pursued financial enlightenment for myself, I find I have a strong urge to share this information with my daughter- a recent college graduate. I want so badly for her to be empowered in a way that I never was. My recent self education has built my confidence and I thank The...Read full review »

Extremely interesting and informative. A refreshing take on the tropics discussed.
ttyyhhgffjkk via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/30/19
This is a refreshing take on the normal money conversation. It feels like it’s made for the world we’re making right now rather than just repeating the same old topics. Thank you ladies for making a show for the everyone, and keeping the topics vibrant and engaging!
Kkellkrew via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/20/19
I just found this podcast through my other recent discovery, the blog Our Next Life, and I’m loving it. Just churned through season 1, and I love the fresh perspective these two bring to the personal finance space. Plus their rapport is so en pointe from the very first episode — they’re...Read full review »

OMG. After 10 minutes, I couldn’t take the man hating anymore. And all the PC crap of today repeated and repeated. As a very independent woman, I can’t recommend this podcast unless you enjoy playing the weak woman victim role and want a podcast that reinforces this mindset.
OandEMom27 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/19
A friends Insta post was talking about Kara so decided to check this out. How refreshing, awareness provoking - truly an opportunity for growth..might havta take notes!! 😉😁 A+ on music, will def be binge listening this weekend! 💖 + Gratitude

ThankufortheAwesomepodcast! Loves SometimesItslikeEach comments here. Well that means your podcasts are good too!
JennRTiffany via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/14/19
This podcast talks about money in an approachable way. Loved the episode about systemic issues and money. These ladies really take a well-rounded approach to money. It’s not just the “save your pennies” mindset and I appreciate that.
Mel04444 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/15/19
Love that it seems like the hosts acknowledge and try to cover a wide range of perspectives and diverse backgrounds in their interviews. It really does get old hearing other podcasts rehash basically the same interviews with the same demographic that I can't relate to. Looking forward to more...Read full review »

This is exactly why I got into investment planning. The focus of my practice is bringing women into the conversation, this podcast is exactly what we need.
InvestingGirl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/22/19
I really enjoy the interviews from experts who have a wide perspective (like the New Yorker writer). It’s really easy to think of the world only from your perspective when you don’t get to see behind the scenes that people in certain professions do, and unless you’re a financial professional in...Read full review »
thesweetooth98 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/16/19
While this podcast is primarily geared towards women, I think all guys should listen to every episode and then listen again, this time taking notes! The podcast helps to explore sensitive topics around money, relationships, equality, and so much more, as well as the connectedness between all...Read full review »
Young FIRE Knight via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/05/19
I just recently discovered The Fairer Cents and I’ve been devouring it. Thank you Tanja and Kara! I’m a woman and would consider myself a feminist, but you’ve got me second-guessing (rightly) many of my own perceptions and assumptions. Truly thought-provoking.
RedSonja76 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/24/19
There are plenty of resources out there on the "how-to" of financial freedom, but few address the trickier systemic issues. The world is not a fair place, and everyone is not on equal footing. These fierce ladies don't come out and say, "you should do this, this, and that",...Read full review »

Amazing, insightful, intelligent and refreshing. Thank you for the amazing content!

If you love identity politics this is the place to be. Interested in learning about financial independence? Might want to check out Radical personal finance instead
Conservative FI guy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/19
Yes, they give sound advice, and lot of laughter, but I think what is special is that they are making those “a-ha” moments more apparent and approachable. Stating right up front that they don’t have all the answers, but sure have questions that need to be shared with you, with me, with the...Read full review »

So good, so relevant, and so real. I love these very important, sometimes awkward conversations.
jjdycus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/19
I’d been listening to a few of these after hearing one of the hosts on another financial podcasts. Kept meaning to leave a review, and then listened to the mental health episode which finally got me on here posting. Such an important discussion that I loved listening to. And was SO validated to...Read full review »
Salvia&MarleAreWithHer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/18/19
This podcast gives great perspective on issues that don’t typically get a lot of air time in the FIRE/ personal finance space. Just an FYI for new listeners, this is less of an actionable advice podcast than a place to hear out new or different perspectives, which I find refreshing.
ka_cross via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/24/19
This podcast gives me the language and the courage to think and talk about money in my own life. I have a solid understanding of all the “right” things to do with money, but am bad at implementing them. Kara and Tanja help contextualize money in both a personal and systemic way, and in just ten...Read full review »
Kathryn LW via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/19
So much gratitude for this podcast and these badass women! It’s incredible to hear many perspectives on money and how it specifically impacts women, all presented in an intelligent, nuanced and fun manner. I’m constantly recommending this podcast to my women friends who are wanting to learn more...Read full review »
Hollycardinal via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/24/19
This podcast is not about how to make more money, save more money, invest better, or otherwise get ahead finanially. You can find that in so many places. Kara and Tanja take a deep dive into the various systemic issues behind finances, gender, orientation, ability, race, and more. THANK YOU!
CallerGirl7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/19
Wisdom, respect, curiosity, and wit are only some of the adjectives that make this one of my favorite go-to podcasts. The dialogue between these two women is so incredibly intelligent, I feel as if I’m becoming a better person and a more critical thinker just by listening. They balance the...Read full review »
