  • Annoying Host

    The host is patronising towards listeners and dismissive of other peoples opinions. His mild profanity is unprofessional and he constantly talks over his guest.

  • Helpful, friendly and always informative

    This is one of my top 2 podcasts on planning for retirement. I love that it covers both complex financial choices and technical issues in a simple way and the human side of retirement. Glen is a master asking simple questions in a way that brings out the best in his guests

  • Rambling fools

    These guys are uninformed and spend half the time talking about how you should spend a bunch of money to use financial advisors, and try convince you it’s worth it.
