  • Ok but often grating

    The guests and topics can be interesting but Anna’s wheezing, lengthy laughs make the show almost unlistenable.

  • 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

    Do you have any new episodes or just repeats??? You ask us to subscribe to listen to… episodes we have already heard????
