The Stacking Benjamins Show

by Joe Saul-Sehy and Josh ‘OG’ Bannerman, CFP

Named Best Personal Finance Podcast by Bankrate.com and Kiplinger — and the only podcast the Plutus Awards retired from competition after winning twice — The Stacking Benjamins Show is personal finance that doesn’t put you to sleep. Hosts Joe Saul-Sehy (former 16-year financial advisor, ex-WXYZ-TV “Money Man”) and Josh “OG” Bannerman, CFP (Certified Financial Planner, Bannerman Wealth) sit around the card table in Joe’s mom’s half-finished basement in Texarkana and talk money with the smartest guests in personal finance, investing, and behavioral economics. As Fast Company wrote, the show “strikes a great balance of fun and functional.” Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: expert guests, real headlines, listener questions, and Doug’s trivia. Topics include investing, retirement planning, budgeting, real estate, behavioral finance, taxes, and financial independence — for anyone who wants to be smarter about money without being talked down to.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I have been listening to your podcast for many years now and enjoy every episode. As a former CFP from a prior life, I find your advice spot on. I have recommended your show to many of my friends/family and I am pretty sure my wife is sick and tired of hearing me start sentences with “I heard this thing on Stacking Benjamins today…” I also enjoy the comic relief - that means you Doug and yes, the trivia is very entertaining. However I do take exception with your recent “back porch” where you said children should refer to adults as Mr and Mrs - when I met my now in-laws at 17 years of age in 1985 they demanded that I call them by their first names - NO ONE called them Mr. or Mrs. and we were the same way with our daughter’s friends when they were young (5 years old) - they all called us James and Alison unless they were uncomfortable doing so. Respect is shown by how you act, not how you address someone. Joe, you can call me James - O.G. - you can call me Mr. Phillips - just kidding. Have fun and keep making podcasts - you are helping and entertaining people - two great things.

Jmezphillips · May 2025

I really enjoy this podcast! Joe keeps the conversation going with great energy and thoughtful questions, OG brings solid financial insight with witty banter, and Doug keeps it real with humor and enthusiasm. I love how they mix practical advice with fun, unexpected topics that don’t feel boring or repetitive. If you’re looking for a personal finance podcast that’s smart, helpful, and hosted by people who feel genuinely approachable, this is it.

Robin H 918 · May 2025

Looong time stacker and first timer reviewer. Great for people new to personal finance, but also great for those wanting to continue building better financial habits. Love the content and format (except for Doug’s lame trivia 🤣). Only kidding Doug!Keep it up guys. It’s important work! One recommendation, add time stamps to your show notes so frequent listeners can skip straight to a segment if they are only interested in that segment for a particular episode. See ya!✌️

Stacker Blair 💰 · May 2025

Joe brings the positive side of Personal Finance, OG punches you in the face with logic so you stop making stupid mistakes, and Doug is the captain steering the ship with his hilarious trivia. If you want a personal finance show that keeps people engaged with their zany antics but also brings real actionable finance education, give them a listen. Don’t sleep on the roundtable discussions that give a well rounded perspective on the topic of the day. All around great podcast!
