I love the latest episode on ADHD. It was so helpful and comforting to hear so much of what I have been struggling with described so clearly !
Apple Podcasts5JdbeckskiUnited Statesa year ago - Like but kind of limited in what you can cover
I like both hosts and they explain things well. Easy to follow and keep subscribed but wish the YNAB team could come up with more creative topics or a new format.
Apple Podcasts3Mav788United Statesa year ago - Great for budget nerds!
Not a fan of the odd new intro music, but love the show overall. So many good tips! One thing, I wish they would edit the audio more. In the latest episode on mistakes in YNAB, it sounded like someone was emptying the dishwasher in the background! Very distracting! Surely, someone can clean that background noise up in editing!
