What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve been listening to Clark’s advice for years and learned quite a bit on how to not get ripped off. Love the new Wes Moss segment too which focuses on retirement and specific advice there.

DT24242424 · Aug 2026

I’ve been listening to Clark Howard for years! Great, honest advice. I admire the fact that he does not “sell out” and get paid for his advice and gives simple, straightforward advice and explanations about real life money issues. Thanks for the years of hard work and dedication you and your team offer!

Kingjk7 · Jun 2026

Clark Howard has been doing financial advice“his way” for decades and he and his team are a genuine fount of knowledge. How many folks would have the confidence to devote a show every Friday to letting listeners have their say about why they believe the show gave wrong or incomplete information? Boo to the people who give negative ratings simply because of political takes — there are plenty of shows for politics, but this one is focused on finances.

palaeologus · May 2026

I’ve been listening to Clark Howard in syndicate and podcast for decades now. It’s an investment of 30 and every time I listen and I always gain some value out of the topics discussed. Even when they’re not relevant to me. Furthermore, Clark just has a very kind demeanor and is a good human. I think him, and all of his fantastic staff, as Team Clark is an awesome one. ps. Can Wes Moss just have a separate podcast? Good content, but I’m wanting to only hear Clark’s.

Mercer, WI · Feb 2026

New host, Wes Moss, is a founder of Truth Social, but did not disclose his stock holdings in that company on the podcast or his website. How can we trust a host who has massive individual stocks and didn’t bother to disclose them? He was also sued for mismanagement of the same company. Team Clark is setting their brand, which was trust and transparency, on fire with this choice.

Be honest Clark · Feb 2025

Clark’s advice is sound and helpful, but he is blind to the detrimental consequences of a political system that punishes his listeners.
