Barron's Live - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This podcast is good for following financial news and is relevant if you’re an investor, but many of the guests encourage overtrading stocks, bonds, commodities, etc. Whatever your plan is, stick to it and hold for the long term. “Sector rotating” and other garbage encouraged here is a fool’s errand and rarely beats the major indices.

I might enjoy the content more If the audio wasn’t so terrible. The moderator is too loud and the guests are often inaudible. I was going to give it a little more time but since there are reviews on the poor audio from a year ago, I don’t believe it is a priority for the podcast so I will probably take it off my list.

As others have said, Lauren is middlin’ but Ben is excellent. He does all of the heavy lifting. He’s candid, owns his missed picks. I really enjoy his content. I wish they did the show more than once a week.

I’ve never had the trouble with audio that others have complained about. Perhaps I’m just an old and remember the days of genuinely poor audio.

Great content and ideas. Love the show. One characteristic that needs improvement is the speaking of the hosts and guests. A few uhs and ums is fine but if presenting podcasts is your profession then fewer is expected. Too many filler words detracts from the content and ideas discussed.

The topics are good but the moderator has limitations. She interrupts guests frequently without adding to the conversation. There are also frequent occurrences of extraneous noise - either needs to get a better mic or quit shuffling papers.

The sound quality of this show is so low that it’s very difficult to listen to. I really want to hear the speakers, but when I turn on to listen, the first lady is extremely quiet static, and the other person is extremely loud.
the range in volume is very difficult because you have to turn the volume up and down and up and down. Please fix the sound quality

get a good mixer or some new microphones. I really like to hear the content
