  • That voice

    Made it ~8 minutes in before the voice reached the equivalent of a spike driven into one eardrum, across the divide, through the other, then clanking into the depths of the earth, to ring forever. Will haunt dreams. Why, why, WHY could not I have smashed my phone into dust before clicking that play button — the play button that damned my soul.

  • Informative

    I first listened to Bad with $ several years ago probably when it began as mainly financial advise. I stopped listening in 2019/2020 just when politicals and culture became so volatile and woke. I was always conservative, but not politically aware or active until the Covid nonsense and BLM/Antifa riots radicalized me in summer of 2020! I only listen to these super "woke" liberal shows to stay informed and not be stuck in an echo chamber. I do want to hear the other side to see what they're sayin... more

  • The most relatable money podcast

    Love the podcast, thank you Gabe and everyone on the production team! The early episodes of the pod got me to finally tackle my high interest credit card debt, and I’m SO GLAD I felt encouraged to reach out to my parents for help (securing a lower interest loan). I’m so relieved, and can now even invest money instead of giving half my income to creditors. No matter where you are on your financial journey, this podcast is a life saver, and without any judgment or unrealistic expectations for us R... more

In 2025, The Weather Is Punk Rock with Career Meteorologist Alan Gerard
Q: Why the weather? Why are you a weather guy?
Most meteorologists wanted to do it since they were kids; I got into weather because I loved snow as a child and was fascinated by predicting it.
When Is Enough Money Enough? with Rose Han
Q: Can you talk a bit about the idea of the golden handcuffs?
The golden handcuffs are the situation where high-paying jobs lead to debt and a lack of financial freedom, as many people only seek employee income without exploring business or investment income, which offer more freedom.
When Is Enough Money Enough? with Rose Han
Q: Where did the $100,000 of debt come from?
Most of it was from student loans, as Rose came from a traditional Korean family where education was highly valued, leading to significant debt during her college years.
Touch Grass (Climate Change) with Zach Williams
Q: What kind of messaging works for climate advocacy in conservative areas?
The messaging needs to shift based on regional values, often focusing on economic factors or personal freedom rather than environmental concerns.
