Podcasts similar to dave Ramsey, but more politically neutral?

[Anonymous]

I’ve just started listening to Dave Ramsey podcasts this year, and I love the back and forth talk between the hosts, the call in questions. I’m not sure it adds much to my financial regimen other than reminding me not to buy dumb things. I don’t think he’s completely correct when it comes to investments. And I hate how obviously right winged/conservative he is. Are there any good finance podcasts that are similarly easy to get hooked on and will help increase my financial literacy without the conservative crap being pushed down my throat.

Planet Money is in the same general orbit but more newsmagazine than yak yak lectures.

The Money Guy Show.

I've always watched on YouTube, but that's how I listen to any podcasts. They have some charts on some episodes but I don't think many on the Q&A episodes. I have it on in the background when I'm doing other things, and it's fine to miss the charts. You might want to get familiar with their financial order of operations steps, though.

Can't recall then talking about politics other than very generally like an election will happen/ happened.

Also I feel like The Money Guy Show guys are not judgmental or unrealistic. Like they say you might need a car loan to get to work, that's okay because they needed that too starting out. So they have specific guidelines to get a decent used car (not luxury) you can afford.

Ramit sethi has a great you tube channel and a Netflix show I really liked called How to be rich. He counsels mostly couples of all different income levels and financial situations. I was hooked at one point.

He will go political rants from time to time, but they are not conservative 😂.

Ramit is way more annoying and in-your-face on political issues. He just posted on election day about how he was door knocking for Kamala. Of course, I’m sure that won’t be a problem for OP because she didn’t really mean “politically neutral”—she just wants someone who is not conservative.

The reason that I know about Ramit’s politics is because I don’t automatically shut down somebody if their views differ from mine (and I agree he has a good podcast). The other side should learn that lesson—you may even win an election every now and again if you do.

The point is, Ramit’s materials are good for people trying to build their financial acumen, and he’s relatively non political. But realize, all money talk is actually political.

Bottom line, you could use his materials with only minimally having to handle that he also mentions he’s a democrat from time to time.

It's not a podcast, but Bogleheads forum is educational and explicitly non-political.

No - increasing your savings, Roth vs. traditional accounts, none of that requires discussing politics. If you discuss politics, it's because you want to use your platform to push your views on politics.

I think it depends what OP is looking for and where she's starting from. I suggested The Money Guy Show above and also listen to Ramit and read Bogleheads. They do have a podcast, by the way.

The Money Guys have credentials (CPA, CFA, CFP, PFS between them) and their Financial Order of Operations gives a road map like Dave's Baby Steps. Plus they do listener Q&A like she requested. If you listen enough, you will learn about different IRAs and things like that.

Ramit has target saving/investing/spending percentages. He's more about money psychology and doesn't really get into pros and cons of specific investment vehicles. He might in his book?

Bogleheads will have almost anything you want to know or be able to tell you where to find it, but it's likely overwhelming to many people.

Jill on Money is great - answers a different listener question every episode. Less about budgeting and more about retirement/long-term planning.
