What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Love the podcast, really practical advice on investing in low-cost index funds at least on the stock side and also the workings of why this is the best way to invest. Also great in-depth discussions on why maybe bond index funds may not be as optimal as actively managed bond funds. keep up the awesome work, Peter!

ScrewedbyNorthwestern Mutual  · Sep 2026

This podcast strikes a great balance between simple and complex, theoretical and practical, technical and behavioral. Love his perspectives.

Steve7497 · Sep 2026

I always look forward to the Long Term Investor podcast. As others have noted in their reviews, Peter’s topics are always covered in a clear, concise (i.e., not too technical) efficient manner. The longer “interview” episodes with fellow subject matter experts are both educational and interesting. I appreciate hearing the differing perspectives when it comes to financial planning. Also, the linked specific show notes and summary on Peter’s website are top notch (about the best of any podcast I listen to…much more than just a printed transcript with a few article links). Thanks Peter!

DCB Podcast Listener · Sep 2026
