What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I really like this podcast! I officially started paying off debt January of 2020 but started to fall in love with it summer of 2019. I was a huge DR fan (if you know, you know) but the show because too political and I wasn’t a fan of the direction the show was going into (cohosts). It was the catalyst to my journey and my biggest source of motivation. I’ve listened to a few other podcasts but they didn’t really do it for me. I found this one because I started listening to optimal living daily. I listen to this while I work from but I’ll also be listening when I do my side hustle(s). Not only do I have this podcast but I have new content to read. If you’re reading this, good luck achieving your financial goals.

I have listened to Jill on money for almost a year now and had gained so much valuable information. Every week I get nuggets of wisdom that I have implemented. Thanks so much Jill and Mark!

Diana’s an engaging and thoughtful host. She really knows her stuff. Unfortunately, the blogs she reads from often focus on penny pinching and other boring or eyeroll inducing topics for people who aren’t on a shoestring budget. Diana’s insights are almost always the most valuable part of the podcast. It’d be nice to hear more articles on topics other than “why you should start saving today”.

Outstanding voice and tremendous commentary. Always a soothing feeling putting on daily!

This was a great podcast idea however when the show is under 8 minutes long most days and starts with 1.5 min of ads and ends with another minute of ads it’s not worth the time. If they get their ads back below 25% of the podcast I may resubscribe. You’re not fooling anyone when you start with “real quick we recommend...” followed by 90 seconds of ads before “let’s get right to this post” and then fly through the post followed by another minute of ads at the end. It’s even worse when they do two articles in one podcast. The 1.5 min at the beginning and minute of ads at the end get an additional 30-60 seconds of ads in the middle turning the episode into nearly 50% ads. I get it that you need to make money but I’m not subscribing to an ad podcast with occasional information when there are so many other podcasts out there.

A number of the readings have been quite old, and therefore seem less relevant and a bit stale. Would it be possible to focus on more recent financial insights? Thank you!
