  • Slate Money/DSM

    I agree with a few of the other reviewers…I’m not a fan (at all) of the last two episodes with the Slate Money host. I was expecting a lot more substance and financial advice. The Slate Money guy interrupted Anna frequently. It was not at all what I expected

  • Crossover money episodes are…..not good

    Usually a big fan of this podcast but the crossover episodes with the slate money guy are quite bad and out of touch? And also gave no substantial advice or nuggets of wisdom? Whoever that guy is, certainly not taking advice from him 🙂‍↔️

  • Hated the slate crossover money episode

    Disappointed in the money episode with a guy who had no idea how expensive childcare is- he’s a financial advisor and isn’t familiar with childcare costs at all? He had no clue why parents stay home with kids rather than paying for childcare. Not an expert and not educated

    Anna Sale is a gem. Incredible interviewer. She’s a wonderful listener. The latest episode about people getting cosmetic procedures is strange… It’s worrisome that there are so many people who just can’t accept aging. DSM episodes are always thoughtfully done.
