Terribly addictive podcast, the fantastic mix of topics, guests and breadth of discussion. Not only very useful for beginners, but even people who have a above average background in finance & personal finance.

Ben, Cameron (and now Mark as well) do a fabolous job. This is THE podcast if you want to nerd out and have a constant companion on your investing journey. The level of coverage through a variety of topics is breathtaking. They always stay rational - hence the name - and are based on facts,...Read full review »

Great content, but something from the combination of my AirPods and the sound editing/recording makes most “S” and some “T” sounds extremely loud and piercing. Slap some EQ on!
Molag via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/23/24
The only podcast I regularly tune into. Ben and Cameron are the best. Thank you for your service!

That was one of the most interesting guest lineups you’ve had. I watched it on YouTube, shared with a couple of friends. Did rewinds because some topics were so important. I’m a Florida listener.

it was disgraceful of this podcast to do a headpiece on one person without involving the other side. I’ve been a fan of this podcast, but the episode on Ray Dalio As significantly dented the reputation, at least in my eyes.

Been an avid listener for a while now and the episodes being released keep getting better and better. Thank you both for your hard work. Keep fighting the good fight. Much appreciated, from a U.K. based financial planner.

This podcast is a master class in how to think about investing. But beyond that, it’s a master class in how to apply the scientific method, how to learn from those who don’t share your views and how to clearly present technical information. Ben and Cameron are open-minded, polite, empathetic,...Read full review »

Hi Ben and Cameron, I’ve been a loyal listener since day one and have really admired the show’s evolution over that time. The rigour and academic basis is crucial but have appreciated your open minded approach to disparate sources and evolution of low cost index or bust approach. As a DIY...Read full review »

Incredibly insightful and interesting discussion on a wide range of financial topics. I especially love the episodes focused on happiness and psychology overlap with money! Main feedback, which is especially obvious when listening to the year in review, is there are pretty limited female...Read full review »

Ben and Cameron do an incredible job presenting research-based insights and frameworks in an approachable way.

Cameron and Ben thank you so much for the time , effort, and passion you put into all that you do.

I like this podcast, learned a lot about SCV thanks to it, but I was listening weekly during the wrong time (Sept 2021) when they commented, “It’s time to take a serious look at crypto.” Oh, Cameron and Ben are saying it’s time to invest in crypto? Ok - I looked up a proper allocation (5%) and...Read full review »

As a Wall Street veteran and professor of finance, I find the episodes that explore recent scholarship to be interesting without being overly technical. In fact, it inspired me to launch my own podcast on what any educated person should know about markets to be a good citizen: Not Another...Read full review »

The Rational Reminder is a great podcast to increase your financial knowledge regarding personal finance. While the topics are fairly complex to a complete beginner, Cameron and Ben do an amazing job at dissecting each topic with the help of their guests. In a world full of noise and continuous...Read full review »

Great range and depth about all things finance. The hosts are based in Canada, but most of the content should be relevant to an international audience. I’m a long time listener and I’ve learned so much from The Rational Reminder over the years. You’re doing the public a great service by...Read full review »

Great discussions! Enjoy the addition of Mark, great story teller (maybe his segment should be called Mark My Words given we like his stories!)
DocKKOttawa via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/19/23
One of the best podcasts in Finance. The variety of topics and guests makes this podcast a real gem for people eager to learn. Keep up the great work Cameron and Ben.

No matter the topic, Ben and Cameron make it accessible, interesting, and palatable. Their guests are incredible, and they can make the most out of any conversation. E.g. Episode 237 about storytelling - I didn't put much emphasis on improving my discussion skills with clients, and now I want...Read full review »

Benjamin and Cameron clearly want to understand the topics thoroughly and get in the weeds to help listeners to understand what the data says about financial markets. Filled with great information.

The tracklist of guests and topics is unbelievable: it is the pinnacle of financial education. A profound thank you to the hosts for the public service.

The highest praise I can give a podcast is that this is the only podcast that I have shared with friends. It is also the only podcast that i have gone back to listen from the beginning. I do not listen as soon as it hits my phone as I wait for a time when I can pay attention. This podcast has...Read full review »

Despite Cameron‘s refusal to condemn Tabasco as a garbage hotsauce, this remains the single best podcast for learning about evidence-based investing that there is.

Highly recommended! Great guests being asked excellent questions, well researched deep dives on relevant investing questions, and in-depth book reviews, all backed by hosts who don't speak down to their audience.

The podcast is really great in terms of developing how you THINK about investment and why one does it. Great stuff! Though listening to it from Estonia, still can find a lot of relevance
