Dear Ric, I started listening to you 25 years ago, as a single woman, raising two children. I read your books, followed your advice, and I worked a second job so I could maximize contributions. Because of your advice and my hard work, I am very proud of what I have accomplished. Despite never...Read full review »

Wow, you’re really trying to play catch-up for Kamala in this last podcast on ethics. She had lost in most of your criteria up to this point. It’s funny how you have only been playing just a couple of comments on all of them to up to this point. I guess since you’ve seen that Trump has won most...Read full review »

Sorry, bias is only reporting one side, and your most recent show decided to report on the inadequacies of a single candidate, and let haters run rampant with opinion. You let your colors fly by doing this, and you lost me as a fan and subscriber. You get a zero for providing balance.

Ric excoriated Harris for her program to help Black men in today’s show. Like a Fox News host, he wondered why these benefits should just go to one group. He said to “read it.” Well I did. Turns out that virtually every program expense was for needy people, NOT just Black men. She did not say she...Read full review »

Since shifting to this new podcast forum, I have felt that sometimes the topics are not directed to me, but to those in the financial world. The 10/7/24 topic on identifying the key topics to consider for each candidate definitely spoke to my indecisions on this election. Brilliant idea. Ric...Read full review »

I consider Ric to be my “North Star” when it comes to crypto investing. His knowledge and ability to explain a complex topic in simple terms is unmatched.

I rarely unsubscribe a podcast, but I unsubscribed The Truth About Your Future with Rick Edelman. I had been a fan of the Rick Edelman show since I started listening to it about 25 years ago on WMAL in Washington, DC. Before podcasts in the early '00s, I put software on my computer to...Read full review »

I am a long time listener of Ric’s and appreciate his wisdom and knowledge. But I have found it very troubling that several of his recent shows have shown a strong bias for Donald Trump (which is interesting because other commenters have called Ric a liberal because of his stance on social issues...Read full review »

This podcast delivers daily insights on pivotal personal finance topics like longevity, retirement security, and health

Definitely not the Ric Edelman I use to listen to. Not sure what happened to him but I can no longer listen to him pushing crypto. Goodbye.
Tommy234578 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/10/23
Ric has shown his liberal bias with his comments on universal basic income, and separately, the majority of his shows talk about crypto, which support his latest book from last year. I have unsubscribed and will no longer listen to him …. was so nice for many years, but not any longer. Sad to see...Read full review »

I have listened to Ric for years and have always respected his old show. As many other reviewers have mentioned this version sounds too much like an advertisement. Miss the old show and find myself listening much less.
waltcush via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/21/23
What was once a good show is now an obsession with crypto! I could take it no more and unfollowed the show today! I now stinks! Rating now below a one.
bamajammer1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/23
Ric has been a wise investment counselor with a subtle conservative outlook for decades. Listening now I hear an apologist for DEI. Which is liberal dogma, IMO for the Left’s success in helping remove Christianity from our culture. Mrs. Edelman’s self help segments are but one small example of...Read full review »

New show is all about selling mutual funds. I used to respect Ric Edelman but now I don’t trust a word he says. Every shows seems to lead into a pitch for buying his sponsors mutual funds.
GF2112GF via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/11/23
Historically, I had great respect for what you’ve said and promoted. That is no longer the case. I’m so fed up with your obsession over crypto that I UNFOLLOWED YOU
Stormin57 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/23
Ric, many thanks for your recent interview with Cal Thomas. Your show is always deeply relevant, as digital assets and exponential technologies are vital topics for our time and we need to be educated on them. But nothing could be more relevant than Cal's reminder of our core values, and his...Read full review »

My wife and I were huge fans of the old show tuned in every week and found it very informative and helpful. I am in agreement with the majority of reviews I have read stating the program has become a show devoted to crypto to satisfy your sponsors. Ric, there are quite a few of us that have no...Read full review »

I’ve listen to Eric for decades. I stopped listening because I felt that his show was out of touch with what’s really happening with local and global finances. It’s unfortunate that many refuse to have an open mind. So many are not interested in change. People, the world is changing before your...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to Ric for over 20 years. To be honest, I really didn’t care for the 100% crypto show. However, since the beginning of 2023, Ric has had a diverse selection of finance related topics. Presented with his immutable style (e.g. snarky when appropriate,) he’s resurrected the style...Read full review »

I loved the old Ric Edelman show and was really excited for his new show and hearing all about the future and innovations to come etc, but I am shocked that these shows have turned out to be not much more than an long infomercial for investing in crypto and Invesco QQQ. After years of enjoying...Read full review »

Rick’s podcasts use to be 90% value 10% sales pitch (and even then the pitch was for financial planning which does have value). Now it seems 90+% thinly masked sales pitches for sponsor products. Very disappointing.

Why Ric Why?? Read the disclosure… TAYF has received $268,962 from Bitwise Asset Management for industry and investor awareness services provided by TAYF and affiliated companies and brands.

I wish the sales pitch wasn’t there but since he is no longer fiduciary I guess you gotta do what you gotta to pay the bills. We just have to remember that it’s no longer The Truth About Money podcast so his information has evolved just like his podcast. Thank you Jean and Rick for everything...Read full review »

Ric, I enjoy the podcasts but as far as I am concerned, you can eliminate the cutsie sound bites to emphasize a point. They detract from the professionalism of the program.
PaulsS1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/23
Mr.
Rick’s investment philosophy seems to have started to change. It appears that he is not as optimistic as he used to be. It’s just not as much fun to listen to his show as it was before. He really is pushing crypto hard. He used to say don’t invest in anything you don’t understand. That seems to...Read full review »

More marketing than unbiased information. Just a glorified infomercial.
funf geigen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/22
I have listened to Ric for years. His book the truth about your money is fantastic. This iteration of his podcast is a little disturbing. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt but I wonder why he is pushing crypto so heavily. I’m not sure that I trust Ric anymore.
BrianYbrain via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/11/22
I listened to to Ric’s radio show since the 1980s. He’s gone off the deep end now. He’s been getting increasingly political. He is no longer a fiduciary and he is now asking like he is not. This new podcast is not good. I can’t believe anything he says anymore. No wonder why he was pushed out of...Read full review »
Bruce Hogston via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/07/22
This is nothing like the old show that I listened to for years. The old show was full of great common sense financial advice that Could Benefit everyone’s investments. This show is mostly about crypto and his exponential technology etf. The most recent podcast started with him actually reading...Read full review »

An absolutely horrendous show - the pits..
;$;);):) via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/19/22
Ric had it made with his long time running show but got greedy and decided crypto was how he was going to bookend his legacy. Over half the show is about crypto and (maybe he's right about crypto for the record) yet he's only advising that a small portion of your portfolio should be...Read full review »

Not only does this guy give me more anxiety, his podcast is like listening to a giant crypto advertisement
Vezzaa via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/22
The beauty of podcasts is you can Fast Forward through all the Bogus (info)commercials & Jeans segment. Usually takes me 10-15 min these days to get through each show(No more promo’s on his NEW book. OMG)
Rick Probst via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/16/22
Each episode which runs 50 min is 40 min of the same stuff advertising Bitcoin. By episode 3 I already knew what was coming next.
TheBear44 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/22
I have listen to Rick for years and prefer his older Shell. The new show is not as informative and seems like a long infomercial
romeo1973! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/22
Ric’s old podcast was my favorite but this is more like an informercial. Awful. My 2 star rating was very kind.
Jsgalhjmcchfmf. Ch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/22
Huge Ric fan. That being said, this podcast is unbearable. If you want to subscribe to a crypto informercial week after week then this is for you. Hoping this podcast diversifies the content it provides. Until then, I won’t be listening. #BITW
Mike32216 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/20/22
I have been a Ric Edelman fan for decades have listened to most of his shows when he lead Edelman Financial and read most of his books. I credit him for teaching me much of what I have learned about personal finance. WHAT ON EARTH HAS HAPPENED TO HIM. He has become nothing but a sellout. He...Read full review »
DrJCool1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/19/22
Breathless, shameless pumping of his sponsors. Anything that isn’t a promotion is pumping cryptocurrencies and ‘digital assets’. Is that really all that is in our ‘future’? I never agreed with 100% of what he said, but topics were usually interesting and made me think. Now, crypto, crypto,...Read full review »

So far Ric was able to foresee future evolution of finance managing but a new challenge comes now . Will he be able to keep the pace with an honest sincere and super partes view of financial markets with this high load of pressure from his sponsors ?
C from portugal via Apple Podcasts · Portugal · 02/26/22
I started listening to Ric’s old podcast during the 2007-2008 credit crisis, looking for a voice of reason to keep me from doing anything rash with my investments. He was calm, sensible, logical and informative. As others have said, the new show sounds like an infomercial for crypto and...Read full review »

Loved Ric’s original show but as many have stated new show sounds like an infomercial.
j9303 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/22
While I like 40% of the content, I would stop listening if it was not for my years of respect from Ric’s time as a Fiduciary. Given the prolific and prolific focus on products and sponsorship, I am going to give Ric the benefit of the doubt that this is just a temporary Manic stage to vent 20+...Read full review »
