Rate ShowBest episode ever
Just listened to the new episode and oh my god, it’s so good. I have never purposefully reviewed a podcast, but I had to leave one and say this conversation was so well done and informative and makes me feel more optimistic about our future than I have in a while. Thank you so much for your work. Love, a 30 something, tired, married, working economist Mom.

Episode 249
More a comment than review but SS is an entitlement and a benefit we pay into against our will. We are entitled to money we pay into the government against our will even if we don’t get a fraction of the money returned over a lifetime. Keep up the good work!

Pretty new here and have listened to a handful of eps. I love the show and want to be friends, lol. I have a near obsession with economics and history and your content is top notch. Keep up the great work.

Great info with snark
Easy to understand, Great podcast. But Katie , what’s your backstory? I heard it mentioned in a recent episode that you were a victim of fraud? Can you tell that story sometime? Thx for the great pod.

Two Sides to the Money Story?
Loving the MMT intro on Money with Katie. Would be great to hear both sides—maybe Stephanie Kelton to unpack MMT’s case, paired with someone like Lyn Alden to question it from a grounded finance angle. Could make for a balanced, eye-opening chat!

Could not love this show more
I’ve been following various personal finance people for 7-8ish years now (my fave is Ramit Sethi), and IG put a reel in front of me that was Katie explaining how we are essentially being *forced* to understand money and investing these days. Because for those who don’t, there is zero safety net for our older years and zero other ways to (somewhat) guarantee an ability to afford medical care and basic needs like housing. Essentially she explained that capitalism creates more capitalism and forces us to make decisions for individual self preservation, and that we need to keep in mind that investing is a must, but it is not a way to build true community safety and security. I was SOLD. I’m not explaining it nearly as eloquently as Katie did, but I instantly subscribed to this podcast, and have learned a lot since, and I appreciate this whole society perspective so very much.

The two-part on weight loss drugs was so well researched! Great interviews and perfect scope. Brava!

This should be required listening
Just finished the “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Capitalism” episode and it was phenomenal! Consider me subscribed.

Over my head and I love it
I spend a lot of time listening to educational podcasts - business, economics and money. I stumbled across this show and have been so impressed by Katie and the content she and team make. Other female finance podcasters, understandably, aim for the bottom/middle of people - basic concepts, practices and purchaseable content for more advanced topics (good for them!). What I love about Katie is the research is SO deep, so balanced and well thought out and chances are good I have not heard any given topic before - I find myself a bit lost. So much information, so much data, AND I LOVE IT. it makes me curious, pay attention, and finally find a new area I want to dig in and get familiar with. I am intimidated but not belittled, I am the dumbest person in the proverbial “room” with a host who welcomes me and doesn’t expect me to be an insider. This is not an echo chamber or a sales pitch pod and I love it. Thank you Katie and team, keep up the good work! I look forward to being utterly lost for the foreseeable future.

My new favorite podcast
I’ve loyally listened to a LOT of different podcasts in the past 10+ years and this podcast has become a favorite. Maybe THE favorite. I’m likely much older than most listeners (52) and I have learned so much from Katie. I’ve also been inspired by her positions on policy and ethics and she challenges me every episode. I think nearly everyone could benefit from listening.

So well researched and informative
This show quickly became by go-to for deep dives and interesting topics. Every topic is delivered respectfully and fairly, with deep research you can explore after.

Best finance podcast out there
Not boring topics or just getting lectured too. Katie takes a real deep dive into all layers and levels of finance. She also makes sure she isn’t shaming you and embracing very healthy saving and investing

Ignore the 1-star reviews: This show is SO SMART
The reviewers leaving a one-star review complaining that Katie has a political agenda are completely missing the point. No matter what your political view, if you’re interested in the bigger picture about money and personal finance, you’ll find that this podcast is full of some of the most interesting conversations out there Yes, finance is tied up in with the political, but as Katie points out to insist otherwise is a political statement too. I , for one, am loving the deeper investigation of the systems at work in our lives.

Finance and Everything
Thank goodness there’s women in the finance space. But the reason I kept listening (and continue to listen) are the continuous topic analysis about how finance affects…. Everything. THANK YOU.

Mind Blowing
I’ve been listening to this show for a couple years and her investigative episodes are getting more and more interesting. In fact, they are so well-told that it is changing my perspective on economics. Thank you for tackling such huge issues while still talking about ground-level, personal finance.

So great.
Longtime listener, first time commenter. Loved the most recent episode about the last 40 years. Great analysis, easy to understand and listen to, well researched, and ends on a (surprisingly!) positive note. Keep it up Katie!

Episode 211
Wow!!! I’ve been listening for years and have learned so much. Especially grateful for this episode and the cultural diversity peace. I love how it was discussed with ease and pride! Please keep this up. It’s a huge deal to be a first gen and learn money.

So Insightful
Katie is amazing at going deep on each and ever topic you can imagine and breaking down the information into such an admin format, you will be hooked after just one episode!

Thank u
Amazing, good production & you can tell there is a lot of thought in each episode. I am also learning a lot about finance as a woman in my late 20s with a spending issue who has only recently started saving $$ and needed to know about all of these things but didn't know where to start.
