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.

411MrH · Jul 2026

Joe and OG are true veterans of personal finance education! You can tell they’ve been at this for a while because they take topics that MIGHT be found on other podcasts, but they present it all with new angles that always makes sense. They even put up with Doug!!!

Colorado boy MJ · Jan 2026

I do not have an addictive personality. However, I have to admit I have been constantly needing a Stacking Benjamins fix on the regular and this is All Your Fault, Doug! Since discovering your podcast, I have opened a VTSAX account, started a Roth IRA, and shored up my emergency fund to provide me 6 months worth of expenses. I know I have a ways to go and wanted to speak with someone from OG’s firm (because OG is my favorite. Sorry, Doug.) Unfortunately, Bannerman Wealth only deals with “Gen X and high-income Millenials”, according to their page. If I can’t be a Bannerman client, I would love a book recommendation that would be a very far second, but may be able to help me reach my goal of FI. Can’t do FIRE anymore because RE has since left the building. Thank you so much Joe, Doug, OG, Paula, Jesse, Len, Doc G, and all of you for the nuggets of true financial wisdom. And the laughs too. Especially the laughs.

Ata Crossroads · Jan 2026

I’m a new listener. I heard about the show off another financial podcast. Now that I have started. I can’t stop. It’s always entertaining practical advice. The guests they have on the show are top notch. They show you that money is just a tool to live a great life.

ClintMoney$ · Dec 2025

80% annoying FM radio morning show style DJ banter. 20% actual good advice and content. Just listen to “Rich Habits” or “Bigger Pockets Money” or something if you want personal finance advice without a bunch of wacky voices, Star Wars trivia, and your-mom jokes.
