Great investment advice

These guys give great inestment advice that will save you from being ripped off by all the salesmen out there. They will teach you how to invest for yourself, or how to find a good financal panner that wont rip you off. I have learned so much from them. They are a lot of fun, but some times they mess around too much. Definently worth checking out.

Advise For Real People

Don and Tom give advice to us real people not the overly rich. The investing directions given are for working people looking attempting a better life and a livable retirement. Their talk is entertaining and has a feeling of listening to a couple of friends.

Fantastic

Entertaining and informative. This is by far the best financial podcast I have listened to. Tom and Don are funny, informative, and present an easy to understand, jargon-free show. Best of all, they are not trying to sell you anything for their own profit. Thanks!

Really informative and generally entertaining!

I've only been listening for a relatively short while. I've only fairly recently started investing in small amounts using the Stash app and Fidelity. This program has been helping me learn more about the process of investing and very good answers to all the questions that they get sent.

Awesome way to burn up 20 minutes!

Don and Tom at the talking real money podcast are nearly as informative and entertaining as they are Old and Crusty 😂. Seriously, these guys are the “Car Talk” of personal finance without the laughs 😂. I honestly listen to ALL their shows, and they are tastier than a blue plate special. Don’t tune in unless you want the key to getting rich slowly, while keeping your risk to a reasonable level along the way. Awesome show guys!

It's the show I look for daily.

The show is consistent with the same investment strategy found in books I consider reputable. Though it was the show's constant education that made me comfortable to finally implement a diversify portfolio. It's the show I look for daily.

Common Sense Advice

I love the common sense advice Don and Tom give for do it your-selfers and novice investors alike. Proponent’s of low cost, diversified investing, they advocate for “slow and steady wins the race” verses the latest get rich quick scheme. It’s fun to hear their banter while doling out sage advice.

Sound research driven investing guidance

I have listened to a lot of financial/investing podcast and radio shows. Talking Real Money provides great advice/guidance that can be backed up with academic research. The information is presented so that layman can understand all the while increasing the knowledge of the listener. I have recommended this podcast to my friends and my son.

Enjoy The Common Sense and Humor

I really enjoy the chemistry of this podcast team! The common sense, simply approach and easy going banter of this team is a weekly treat on my evening walks with my dog. I take several mental notes during each listen! Thank you and keep up the great work!

Advocate for us

I enjoy listening to these guys because they advocate for us and our well-being (A la Clark Howard) rather than trying to steer listeners into expensive products.

Easy to understand education

Calling or writing in and receiving a response is really easy. The hosts don’t “talk down” with their responses; instead, they dumb things down which make learning and understanding easy. I wish they’d cut down on the music or at least greatly lower the volume as it’s jarring. But this is one of my favorite money related podcasts.

Still learning at age 68

When you are young one seems to believe they know everything (like I did). Since I started listening to komo news then the podcast I have learned so much about investing. Luckily I saved for 35 years so I am “ok”, but now I’m learning how to transition to retirement and keep my $$ working for me. Thanks Tom and Don
