  • Great- but no more “Umms” please !

    I love this podcast, but please no more guests that say “um” every other word. I believe it’s Alex Durante? It’s driving me nuts- this is a podcast, all we do is listen, and it’s so obvious that this person is nervous and not a great speaker.

  • An honest discussion on taxes

    Really enjoy the honest discussions and more importantly the history and ramifications of certain tax policies as well as the never ending proposals that seem to be out there. Regardless if it is a windfall profits tax or a new Social Security tax we all must be educated and structure our finances to legally pay the least amount of taxes and keep more in our pockets.

  • The Intramural Discussion

    Great for the egghead, but I was really looking forward to a SIMPLE explanation of Biden's tax plan when I was run over by tax speak that was out of my paygrade. NOT FOR THE COMMON MAN.
