“TLDR: Another Murdoch Empire stooge editorialising on right wing politics… I think I’m going to call time on this version of the Money Cafe now. It’s much less entertaining without Alan Kohler and has turned into a bit of a James Kirby waffle-fest. He brings on guests but often interrupts them to...”Read full review »

“Pretty basic and lacks any charm since Alan left. Seems it’s being aimed toward people with considerable wealth only now. Who aren’t very financially literate. Unfortunately most of the talking points just aren’t even valid if you aren’t in the top tax brackets… and if you’re a financially...”Read full review »

“This is a very easy to listen to podcast tackling a broad range of financial topics and with different guests. The once a week property topic is a particular favourite. I look forward to new episodes every week. Well done!!”

“The show now has two episodes a week - Tuesday is property and Thursday is investing. I have no interest in investing in property so don’t listen to the Tuesday show. Thursday however is regular listening for me and I find the show is interesting and informative. James covers a lot of investing...”Read full review »

“This used to be my favourite podcast but something has changed since it was rebranded. James sounds distracted and often downright bored and some of his ‘experts’ who themselves aren’t adding anything to the conversation. The most recent episode with the buyer’s agent was appalling. Sweeping...”Read full review »

“After some years of following and enjoying this podcast it has come to the point where James needs to decide if he is a journalist or lobbyist. While some opinion pieces are acceptable unabashed use of this podcast to earn brownie points in the Murdoch echo chamber has become ridiculous. Bye!”

“With that is happening with credit Swisse etc all we get is effectively an ad to discuss the premiers housing model. This not what an independent finance program should be doing rather a critical assessment of the premier’s proposal with a housing expert. Might as well have Dan Andrews on next on...”Read full review »

“Seriously you James Gerard thinks Australian voters just decided to change government for the sake of it. He must be Mr Murdoch’s son in law. How on earth can this man be a journalist and not know what happened in the last election?”

“I get a lot of time to listen to podcasts in my job, driving around, fixing machines etc.
And this is always one of the highlights of the week.
The tone is pretty jovial and listeners have plenty of chance to get involved.
They seem to just want the best outcomes for the common man.”
