I've been tuning into financial podcasts for several years now, and let me tell you, most of them are as fresh as week-old bread, recycled topics and ads galore. But then there's the PTP show, the Seinfeld of personal finance podcasts—it's about nothing, and that's what makes it gold. Sure, they throw in some solid financial info and banter, but what really shines are the hosts. Peter's humor is so suburban-dad, it's practically wearing socks with sandals; Dame's got that high-class redneck vibe going strong, and Kristen? Well, she's the glue holding these two together, keeping them from bickering over who had the better hairline in their glory days.

This is a show I will continue to listen to into the future because of the information discussed and expanded upon throughout. The host, Pete, thinks he is some sort of comedic genius (he isn’t) but his co-hosts are there to keep him somewhat in check. I am growing in my financial acumen by listening to this show so again, I will continue to listen. Even if it’s hate listening.

Good podcast. Damien Dunn is the ballast of the show. He gives the listener a feeling of trust. He’s laid back and seems to have an analytical approach. Kristen certainly adds a lot to the show. She has a great personality and adds a youthful perspective. Peters tries to add some comedy to the show. I believe that Damien and Kristen can certainly host the show themselves if Pete is out.

I have been a long listener of the show and usually found it very entertaining, but in a recent episode he decided to talk about how his 11 years old son is a better soccer player than the soccer players on his 14 years old daughter’s soccer team and decided to make it into a thing about how boys are superior athletes to girls.

Can personal finance be funny? No, but at least these guys try. Also, I thought the show was great before, but adding Kristen has been a huge improvement.

I have learned everything I know about finance by teaching myself, mostly using Pete the Planner. Through his guidance, we have a clear financial plan that let us feel comfortable as we expand our family and prepare to send children off to college. As an academic with zero financial background, but lots of interest in understanding things, I especially appreciate that his show doesn’t oversimplify complex financial issues.

Pete spends more time bragging about his financial situation versus giving practical real-life advice. Be more self-aware clown.

Good day! Long time listener and my family loves the unrelated Dunn brothers. Witty and entertaining content that also provides good insight into our financial lives! 100% would recommend!

Switch it back!!!!!!

If you enjoy witty humor and financial topics that relate to your life, this podcast is for you! It is a great listen and Pete and Damian keep it interesting every week.

I love the new format of the show. Pete and Damian have awesome chemistry. I like it better than the old podcasts when one listener was interviewed for most of the podcast.

I’ve listened to this show for several years now. I can’t take it anymore. Since the pandemic started the hosts refuse to hold anyone accountable for their actions and want far left social programs to fix everything including student loan debt. In an effort to not offend they no longer offer good honest advice. A perfect podcast for the everyone gets a trophy generation.

Less SJW & more answering of the listener questions!

Good day, Marc Williams aka "Mr. Kinetik" was reinstated! Show's a lot of fun, and at times interesting!

Even though my job is to help people save for retirement, I never tire of listening to Pete and Damian tackle the everyday financial issues of folks who are struggling, on track or wanting to power it up. Do yourself a favor and check it out (and get a few laughs).

Three thumbs up!

Thought I’d give this podcast a shot. Listened to their latest episode today (5.12.20). The entire episode is two financially stable fully employed healthy men talking for thirty minutes about how stimulus checks are wrong, helping out front line workers with student loans is wrong, another stimulus bill is wrong. A whole lot of two privileged men saying screw the people who are hurting right now, nothing is worth spending money to help them. So from my FDNY family - NO THANKS to listening any further, and also you’re welcome for being on the front lines for minimum wage risking our life so you can sit at home in your recording studio telling us that we’ve put ourselves in this position.

Good Day! If you own a small group of ferrets, you should be listening to this podcast. So should your employees. It’s fantastic. If you don’t understand what ferrets have to do with personal finance, you certainly need to listen to the Pete the Planner show. According to my very careful calculations, he gets 6 out of 5 stars. You can blame new math for that.

5 star content with 1 star volume control. Brand new studio...please fix this.

Pete and co. cover lots of topics with an entertaining format - He often surprises me with recommendations to listener questions and even if I don't fully agree, I almost always learn something from the discussion and perspective. One of my new favorite podcasts. :)

One of my favorite financial podcasts. Relevant topics and actionable advice.

I love this show. I teach personal finance at a college and find this show very entertaining and educational. With that said, please...either have Damien speak up or equalize the volume while editing. Pete’s mic is so much louder and it makes for a constant adjusting of the volume while listening to it....a little frustrating. The shows a solid 5 with volume adjustments :) Thanks for all the great work with the content and numerous delivery.

The content is great and educational, but if you want a podcast to the point without rambling and non-funny jokes look somewhere else. He could reduce each episode to 15-20min if all the useless filling he adds to make it funny or different was out.

I’m a big fan of this show. I appreciate how Pete and Damian make it fun. Keep up the great work!

I must say that I appreciate that Pete is using his platform to promote better money habits and help others better their financial situations. However, I can not recommend this podcast. The show is not quite as entertaining as when Nicole was a part of it. I don’t know the full extent of the circumstances that led to her departure, but the show was definitely better with her presence and Pete should have tried to keep her around. Also, I’ve noticed Pete promoting very Centrist views. WAKE UP CALL! Millennials have had enough of that crap, and we’re most of the ones listening to podcasts. And the straw that broke the camels back was Pete arguing that we don’t need self-driving vehicles. Are you serious?! Over 30,000 Americans die every year because of car crashes - that’s just one of the many problems that could be alleviated with the implementation of self-driving cars. Don’t even get me started on how traffic would improve. This just goes to show how distant Pete actually is from average Americans. Does he have a chauffeur to take him to work, or does he live in a penthouse on top of his office building? Hey Pete, the average American has about an hour commute to work and back. Imagine what we could do with all those wasted hours. Until we reach that point, I’ll be sitting in traffic listening to better podcasts.

If content was more advanced or he could avoid political banter with low IQ guys like Buttigieg the rating would be higher.

Great episode, as always. It's nice to listen to Pete because he's empathetic, funny, and gives solid advice. It's entertaining and non-judgmental, which is what's need to tackle this sticky issue of money! Keep up the great work!

Some new ( intro music and the regular-ish guest (he says they're not related, but come on...)) mixed with the best parts of the old (great information with a great vibe) makes for an entertaining podcast. Been listening for years and don't plan on stopping.

I just love how Pete thinks... his perspective is perfectly balanced with wit and humor, making it such an enjoyable learning experience. I eagerly wait for each new episode and wish for another one as soon as the closing music starts playing!

Pete delivers information on sometimes complex topics in a manner that is easy to understand and very helpful. Bonus - he does it with great humor :)

I love everything except the intro and outro (little girl’s voice) and I can’t figure out why they keep playing the same RAP song during every break?? Makes me long for a commercial, which may be a genius marketing play ;)

I should have rated the old format because I really liked hearing real people telling their issues and having Pete help them. This new format of reading emails or discussions with Nicole are just a “G” rated Howard Stern and Robin Quivers. Too much adoration not enough problem solving.

Pete cracks me up (because of him I can’t not read the word spreadsheets as spreadSHEETS), and on top of that I get a ton of helpful information from the show. Thank you!

I loved the show’s old format much better. One-on-one interviews with regular people was highly interesting. This new format of having Nicole as a co-host just doesn’t work for me. I don’t think she adds any depth, knowledge or intelligent inputs to the show. I wish you’d go back to the old format.

Very informative. I've learned a ton from Pete and the podcast. This is nice because it dives into one persons financial life instead of just one question per person with lots of people. Keep it up!!!

This is an informative and educational podcast delivered via stories of real people and Pete's delightful humor. I never miss it!

Someone has made money talk fun and engaging! Pete cracks me up. Love this podcast.

Pete is my favorite financial planner. I binged his podcasts, then found his YouTube channel (watch his infamous bourbon and wine episodes). He’s quite funny because he’s a stand up comedian in his spare time. I think he gives good advice. He alternates between live case studies with real people as guests, and the typical semi scripted format where he rants about whatever he feels like. Unexpected hip hop jokes and double entendres keep things fresh. Lately his millennial producer Nicole’s been getting into the mix more, which creates a fun dynamic. No one does what you do - keep it up!

Sort of a rules based common sense approach to personal finance. If you have credit card debt, you save under 15% of your income, spend a bunch of money on cars and you think you are doing okay, have a listen. It will change your life I hope. Pete does a bunch of case studies but he does special focus episodes that are home runs. He does not really do investment advice and I would go to Paul Merriman for investment advice. Pete is funny and gets side tracked a bunch but hang in there. He is really not doing this podcast for the money and really doesn’t have anything to sell you. He just wants to help us out and likes to tell jokes I think. Danny

Straightforward, to the point, and blunt . Love the real life financial advice.Don’t like the music, but that’s not why I listen.

Pete's no holds barred approach is very refreshing. He always calls it like he sees it. That being said his recommendations are always positive and constructive. His views on retirement planning and life in general are spot on.

Wonderful podcast. Engaging and vibrant, it reminds me of a good radio show compared to some of the dry, acerbic or amateur podcasts you often come across. I find that I gain something from the advice offered each episode even when I think I will have nothing in common with the guest. The scenarios are all similar, but still unique which keeps the listening entertaining and valuable. Keep up the great work! Hope to be a guest some day!

Want to change your entire life for the better? Listen to Pete. No, this is not an exageration - seriously, this podcast will change your life. How many things can you say that about?

Pete or PTP as he is known in the biz does a great job of teaching listeners how to avoid mistakes in their financial life. I started by picked episodes that answered my questions and ended up listening to every episode in about 3 weeks. Great listen if you are into finances at all! Keep up the good work MDP crew!

Good job Pete.

Thanks to Pete for helping keep me and my family on the right financial course!

This is a fabulous podcast for anyone who wants to learn about financial planning in a humorous, interesting way.

Pete the Planner is an awesome Podcast! Great music, always entertaining, and I learn a lot. Great relatable topics and people who have many similar situations. Keep up the great work Pete!!

Please listen to this podcast it is absoluty life changing. The information is sound and Mr. Planner is sooooo entertaining. I have been a long time Dave Ramsey listener but as a 33 year old, I needed someone from this generation to inspire me. Check it out. Amazing podcast. You will laugh, cry and at times fudge your undies.

Currently listening from the beginning and completely hooked. Very few things as good as finding a great podcast with so many shows to binge on
