What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

When Christine interviews Ed Slott I drop everything and listen attentively! Christine knows just the right questions to ask, and Ed is the master of taxes in retirement. Such an important topic, and a bit complicated for many retirees.

Gman-708 · Nov 2024

This Program and Christine Benz are national treasures. I just listened to your episode on Medicare. As I’m currently applying for Medicare and researching supplemental insurance, this program saved me money and alleviated my stress about this process. Thank you!

Flyover Country Grandma · Oct 2024

My favorite investment podcast. Great guests that share information that is understandable and relevant. The hosts do a wonderful job steering the conversation to topics relevant to the average investor.

Tjfont · Aug 2024

Christine and colleagues are the consummate professionals, tirelessly educating individual investors. There’s no hype, and guests are carefully curated to avoid the more dubious elements of the financial industry. One suggestion: there is so much in the news about managed futures, trend following, and the extremely low correlation with traditional assets. I would enjoy a guest that can speak to this arena. Jerry Parker comes to mind. Also, a Morningstar article listing recommended funds would be welcome.
