Too Much Crypto and Politics

“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 record it when I couldn't listen to it. After podcasts became popular, I used streaming software to listen to the program in different radio markets before the podcast was published on Monday mornings. I was disappointed when Rick Edelman announced the termination of the show about 5 years ago. The two spin-off shows were ok for a while. Everyday Wealth with Jean Chatzky had a good run for a couple years.
I used to like the broad range of topics on the Rick Edelman Show. It turned into mostly an advocacy for crypto. I thought this was a little odd and sometimes boring and repetitive, but I continued to listen, at least in the background. I understand crypto is a new and exciting asset class, but the emphasis on it became tedious, and I started to fast-forwarded through several episodes, which I rarely do.
The tipping point for me was when it became political. Rick used to be apolitical, or balanced in his criticisms. His substantial focus on crypto and the SEC and administration's treatment of crypto has resulted in him taking sides forcefully. I listened to several programs where the introduction pointed out that Joe Biden is still in the presidential race without pointing out the dangers on the other side. If I wanted political advocacy or opposition, there are plenty of political podcasts to listen to. I unsubscribed, but I have plenty of financial podcasts to keep me occupied and informed. I currently listen to The White Coat Investor, Jill On Money, Your Money Your Wealth, Planet Money, Freakonomics Radio, The Indicator from Planet Money, and the various Marketplace podcasts.”Read full review »

“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.”

“I like the new show and its content. I’ve listened to Ric’s previous show for years and like his humor and teaching. This show mixes current financial info with tech-related stuff that I don’t hear elsewhere. I like it.”

“More marketing than unbiased information. Just a glorified infomercial.”
