What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I love how Steve teaches his audience how markets work. That is the test to discover if someone really understands what they’re talking about. They must be able to explain it in a way that a high school student could grasp.

FringeFatale · Dec 2025

Steve does a tremendous job getting his guests to speak on a level that retail investors understand. Great guests; one of my favorite listens. Thanks

KB in the FL panhandle · Oct 2025

Steve Eisman has a remarkable talent for breaking down complex financial concepts into clear, straightforward language that anyone can grasp. I've listened to every episode of his podcast, and each one is a gem. His guests are incredibly knowledgeable, offering deep insights with impressive clarity and detail. Previously, I spent hours searching for Steve's interviews on YouTube, but now the podcast conveniently brings all his content into one place. Thank you, Steve, for making investing so fun, accessible and engaging!

Ujar2013 · Oct 2025

I started listening to this podcast and I also watch on YT, after seeing Steve on a Compound show. I really like how Steve explains financial “stuff” to the non-finance person. I also like how he asks questions to get more detailed explanations from an interviewee. That warms my analytical heart. This is a podcast I look forward to hearing every week.
