  • Every episode doesn’t need to be woke.

    They can’t help themselves. Every episode is saturated with political leanings. Also the hosts are extremely Annoying.

  • SO WORTH IT!!!

    Wow! When I say you will get something from every minute of this show, I mean it! My friend sent me the student loan episode and then I binged way back to the earliest episodes and loved them ALL!

  • Not quite for everyone

    Class problems (eg needing student loans, overall financial literacy, having open & ongoing discussions about money) framed as primarily about racial identity on a recent episode , and it’s not a one-off with this show. One of the guests made a dismissive reference to “non-POC” who she imagined didn’t have to struggle the way she did and the host just accepted that as a given, no probing question about assumptions the lady was holding about people whose financial backgrounds she doesn’t know any... more

  • Not That Easy to Move to Portugal

    Nothing against the podcast itself but moving to Portugal is not as easy as the guest implies. It took my family almost a year to get the proper paperwork, submit the papers, scheduling appointments, getting a lease in Portugal, etc … Also her comment about the ease in bringing your pet. Not so! It’s complicated and stressful if you don’t get your USDA certification within a week of your travel date. A more realistic expectation would be appreciated.
