What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I first heard Barry Ritholtz as a guest on Liz Ann Sonders’s equally great podcast (Schwab). I found their discussion so interesting I listed five times. Then, to my delight, I found that Barry had his own podcast (Bloomberg). He’s a sharp interviewer, asking questions to get guests to talk freely. He also seems like an all around positive and enthusiastic guy you wouldn’t mind having as a neighbor to chat about markets, economics, cars, or coffee with. Some of my favorite interviews are: Bob Moser, Richard Thaler, Hilary Allen, and Corey Doctorow. All worth listening to… I like that the show has not just market heads,, but successful people from various business backgrounds. Plenty of women guests as well. Also, right down the middle politically, which is refreshing. He also doesn’t allow (for the most part) guests to promote their own business. Great author too! How Not to Invest in Business is a fun and enlightening read.

First off, Barry knows how to interview his guests. Great questions create engaging and informative conversations. The guests are diverse and there is so much to learn not only about finance but about career paths, success, failure and even book recommendations. This is the long view so if you are looking for get rich quick tips, look elsewhere. A weekly dose of wisdom. Thank you Barry!

Best finance podcast · Jan 2026

One of my new faves. Ritholtz is a talented interviewer and has great guests. I love how it’s not just about finance but goes into the guest’s life and often writing/style/career. Wish I wound this earlier but the silver lining is I have a bunch of pending content to consume!

DrMarq · Nov 2025

Generally like the show. Depending on guest, some good tidbits to be learned. However, was thrown off by Barry and guest Morgan Housel quoting a passage in Morgan’s book along the lines of “If you [the reader] are a good dad, a good husband,…” then that’s enough for you to earn people’s respect. As it is, so much of personal finance skews male, let’s please not so thoughtlessly [because I don’t believe Morgan had ill intent here] and gratuitously leave out the women. Every subtle cue that women are an afterthought in personal finance adds up. Thanks.

Sunshine on my shoulders... · Nov 2025

I tried this podcast and made it through an episode and a half. The host comes across as a know it all and constantly interrupts. The worst was listening to Bethany McLean start desperately trying to talk over him, raise her voice, and talk faster to try to make her points. It’s clearly more than just a problem with women guests, but it certainly reads as familiarly sexist to women used to fighting to be heard. I can’t listen to this.

Kate L 87 · Oct 2023

Great content but very poor control with sound control. The main radio podcast is always recorded at a higher volume level. The podcast only Portion at a lower volume. Impossible to listen to part 2 with background noise even with the volume on high. In addition, the volume goes up and down within each segment. I subscribe to 8 podcasts. This is the only one with this problem. It’s not my device or my hearing! Also - the advertisements come on VERY LOUD.
