  • MacroVoices: the best market analysis on the web

    I have listened to many financial podcasts and programs over the least 50 years and MacroVoices is by far the best program I’ve ever listened to. I do not miss any broadcasts thanks to the podcast system. Erik and Patrick are so insightful but they don’t do a hard sell either.

    Their financial perspective and advice is always on target and is always worth a listen because they have such great guests and add their own points of view.

    Give it a try.

  • No brainer!

    Chuck is always engaging and asks his guests questions that you would if given the opportunity and then some that you hadn't thought of. The only thing even slightly negative that I could say is that his output is so prolific that trying to keep up with all of his podcasts is sometimes exhausting, :)

  • To many “You know!"

    I like the podcast and the information, but one of your guest has a bad habit of saying “You Know” to often in the podcast! It like having stack in the back ground!
