Important, insightful content. Savvy host. Quality production value. Very enjoyable experiences.

Listening since first show, but reluctantly signed off some time ago. Guest quality usually very high. Host’s interviewing skills, style, and adaptivity alas, remain wooden. To deem everything ‘fascinating’ is beyond a tic.

The best you’ve had on!

I first heard Barry Ritholtz as a guest on Liz Ann Sonders’s equally great podcast (Schwab). I found their discussion so interesting I listed five times. Then, to my delight, I found that Barry had his own podcast (Bloomberg). He’s a sharp interviewer, asking questions to get guests to talk freely. He also seems like an all around positive and enthusiastic guy you wouldn’t mind having as a neighbor to chat about markets, economics, cars, or coffee with. Some of my favorite interviews are: Bob Moser, Richard Thaler, Hilary Allen, and Corey Doctorow. All worth listening to… I like that the show has not just market heads,, but successful people from various business backgrounds. Plenty of women guests as well. Also, right down the middle politically, which is refreshing. He also doesn’t allow (for the most part) guests to promote their own business. Great author too! How Not to Invest in Business is a fun and enlightening read.

Barry Ritholtz is annoying always interrupting the guest and pretends that he knows more than the guest. Don’t keep cutting people off with meaningless phrases. Be humble and listen.

First off, Barry knows how to interview his guests. Great questions create engaging and informative conversations. The guests are diverse and there is so much to learn not only about finance but about career paths, success, failure and even book recommendations. This is the long view so if you are looking for get rich quick tips, look elsewhere. A weekly dose of wisdom. Thank you Barry!

Used to be a weekly listen for me with good advice but it’s gone downhill. The sponsored content about watches is one thing but slipping watch promotions into almost every episodes ridiculous. If the content was better I might tolerate the excessive ads.

Always interesting subjects and speakers

Enjoyed this episode very much. Thanks.

One of my new faves. Ritholtz is a talented interviewer and has great guests. I love how it’s not just about finance but goes into the guest’s life and often writing/style/career. Wish I wound this earlier but the silver lining is I have a bunch of pending content to consume!

Generally like the show. Depending on guest, some good tidbits to be learned. However, was thrown off by Barry and guest Morgan Housel quoting a passage in Morgan’s book along the lines of “If you [the reader] are a good dad, a good husband,…” then that’s enough for you to earn people’s respect. As it is, so much of personal finance skews male, let’s please not so thoughtlessly [because I don’t believe Morgan had ill intent here] and gratuitously leave out the women. Every subtle cue that women are an afterthought in personal finance adds up. Thanks.

Title says it. Generally like. Strongly dislike this private jet garbage. The planet is boiling yall

In talking about the relative size of private investments relative to public, Erik mixes up flow with stock, thus understating the size of the private markets, and essentially talking his own book. He should know better…

Some of the guest are great but the host loves to inject his personal political opinions.

"Really, really interesting." ~ Barry Ritholtz

Not always good, a nugget every now and then. An admitted fan of Barry regardless.

This show is usually good but the interview with Christine Benz was just a commercial for her book? Thanks for keeping that short I guess

I have been listening to all Barry’s shows since 2015 in an attempt to further my finance understanding . He has exposed me to some of the best minds in investing and been invaluable to my own work in factor models. THANK YOU

The episode with Morgan Housel career transition seemed 15 min in his dramatic and exaggerated hardship because he worked types of jobs that many young people do; the career advise was only the last 2-3 min by Barry. I always found people like Housel that say they did not do it for money, do what you love, money does not bring happiness as a bit less than straightforward. It is easy to say such philosophical statements when one is multi millionaire, works as an investor, sell common sense ideas as best sellers!, and rich.

This helped.

Barry is a boring left winger that sounds foolish trashing Trump as he racks up victories for America

Interview subjects are interesting. However, I wish Mr. Ritholtz would listen more and stop inserting himself into the discussions. Yeah, he is well-informed and well connected. But I don’t care about his erudition; I care about what his guests have to say.

I’ve been listening to Barry on CNBC and Bloomberg in the past decades. He is an entertaining and knowledgeable speaker, and interviewer. I have a degree in Finance and have worked in the financial field for 3 decades. I trust Barry as a credible source who finds other good sources to interview.

If everything is fascinating then nothing is fascinating. Seems disingenuous to say it to everyone about everything.

The episode with Torsten Slok was great!

Knack for the Obvious. Ted gets an A+ for elocution a polite gentleman C - for information.

Every episode is based off a liberal point of view.

Suggest letting guests do more of the talking. Great show and guests otherwise.

To the host, stop talking so much. Ed Hyman is such a brilliant and humble guest and the interruptions diminish the interview

Most of the guest and host have a left wing political view. DEI, ESG. Garbage. It’s funny to hear the episode on stock pickings and the guest says Buffet isn’t a good stock picker, he then says retail investors shouldn’t buy individual stocks. They should just buy s/p 500 index. His clients should listen to this message, take their money out of his fund and put it in the index.

Sometimes extremely insightful conversations. Sometimes he and his guests go far to deep into rabbit holes on topics of little interest to listeners (I.e. people’s personal history). Host MUST STOP SAYING “THAT’S INTERESTING” EVERY TIME THE GUEST MAKES A STATEMENT!

I love Barry’s take. Really interesting.

Went to listen to my first episode but it’s a paid episode! Yes, fees do a matter in a time of financial difficulties for many Americans!

Please stop saying “huh, hmm, that’s interesting” after every response. Ur killing me!

Great guests, great questions.

Too political.

I tried this podcast and made it through an episode and a half. The host comes across as a know it all and constantly interrupts. The worst was listening to Bethany McLean start desperately trying to talk over him, raise her voice, and talk faster to try to make her points. It’s clearly more than just a problem with women guests, but it certainly reads as familiarly sexist to women used to fighting to be heard. I can’t listen to this.

The host talks more than the guest. Very annoying.Poor Michael Lewis. Always interrupted.

The guests are interesting but continuously cut off

Great guests but host talks too much.

Very high-quality guest roster. I have particularly enjoyed the female guests (just finished Ilana Weinstein). These are the best of the best business minds and it's educational to hear how eloquently they are able to express complex ideas. Sure, Barry is a bit self-assured, but I like him and he's very knowledgeable. He's "likable enough," to borrow Obama's ol' zinger.

Why have a guest if you constantly interrupt? Let Gretchen Morrison talk about her book her experience from before you were born

Love the guests Barry has and the topics.

Hard pass couldn’t even finish the episode

Can you bring Jerry Parker on the show?

This is a pretty good podcast. Lots of interesting guests, lots of interesting topics. Host has a tendency to talk over the top of his guests though.

Excellent and very interesting

Loud awful ads out of nowhere. 5 minutes of ads for every 10 minutes of content interspersed throughout.

Show gets some greats guests, super interesting topics, but cannot stand Barry. That guy is rude and pompous. He interrupts almost every single guests to interject with his own thoughts and opinions. I don’t care what Barry thinks and I hate how he’s always trying to finding other people’s sentences. Shut up, Barry, and let your guests talk. His “very interesting” replies are so insincere. Please fire Barry and find a new, polite host.

Barry please stop interrupting the guests… this used to be one of my favorite podcasts however the constant interrupting / lack of thought provoking questions has made even having the best guests hard to listen to.
