Used to be good
*** update ***
Still waiting for this show to not be terrible what the heck is happening over there get it together!
This podcast used to be my go-to. Now every time I try to get back into it something turns me off within the first 10 minutes. I give up, I don’t know why it went to downhill but it used to be so good and informative and ever since Chris Hill left it feels like a never ending audition process for a replacement MC that just leaves me cringing. Most of the personalities are terrible and lack interview skills. Please just go back to some form of what you used to do, the deep dives in industry focus with Emily Flippen for example were my favorite. For now I’ll just unsubscribe and I’ll check back in later.

Once great, now...meh
As a longtime listener and MF member, this show has been part of my podcast diet for over a decade. The recent changes, however, have changed that. Gone are the talented hosts and interviewers, as well as the dependable format. It its place are seemingly intelligent people who are woefully out of their depth when it comes to steering conversations and asking good questions. The format is wildly inconsistent with an 11-minute episode one day, and an hour-long interview the next. As others have mentioned, the ad load is far too big for episodes this short. What was once a best-in-class investing show has become surface-level banter that can be found anywhere. MFM had a great run, but with the recent changes an increasing number of investing podcasts have made it irrelevant.

No longer recognizable
This used to be my favorite podcast—I never missed a M-F episode. It started going downhill after Chris Hill left, and now Dylan Lewis is gone too. Are Tuesday segments with Bro gone as well? Sad. Ricky Mulvey might be the only solid host left. I always skip the weekend episodes. The 6/11/2025 show was one of the worst yet; Rookie host, poor audio, and a lackluster way of discussing businesses.
Suggestion: let Moser and Frankel cook. Bill Mann, Gillies, and others are cool too.
Update: Monday’s show on 6/23/25 was excellent. Awesome format. Great rundown of headlines. The host and 2 guests were solid. Ads were fine. Audio quality was good. Keep it like this!

Most people agree that spending is high, but did you guys discuss the spending insanity when the government was ruled by the dems? The OBBB is slowing spending by ~$1.6-8 trillion, rescissions will cut spending using DOGE findings. We shall see what happens.

Spiffy Pop!
Hey guys, I just listened to your Cava episode, and you mentioned the way-back origin of the term Spiffy Pop. But wait— what IS the origin?? I’m not sure you had that info at your fingertips so let me share this. David G had conceived of naming this rare stock-price event, and held a contest among Rule Breakers members (if I remember correctly) to give it a name. “Spiffy Pop” was the winner, chosen by David and submitted by: me! I believe I received a free additional year of membership as the prize! Yaaay!!
Best wishes,
Super-long-time-Fool

Loss of quality
Over the past year, the quality of the show has gone down dramatically. With all the different hosts, the show has varying times and formats. A lot of the people hosting should not be a host because their voice is kind of annoying and or they don’t know how to run a show. One of the main reasons I have a membership at Motley fool is because I liked listening to these shows in combination with the member benefits.

Wokeness Creeping In
I used to look forward to listen every day. Now the episodes are piling up in my queue. The shows used to be apolitical. Lately the hosts’ political leanings are influence some of the shows.

Soooo tired of hearing about Tesla and Nvidia
Isn’t there anything else to talk about? Used to love this podcast but so lame talking about Tesla. All. The. Time. Let it go guys.
Edit: Added Nvidia

Matt’s mic rattling - very annoying
Matt - can you check your microphone? when Matt speaks, there is always this rattling sound. Definitely not my speakers as I hear it on all my devices.

Gonna miss Dylan
Sad to hear that Dylan is leaving the show. He was one of the better hosts. Seems like the Fool is downsizing since Dylan didn’t say he was moving to a new gig. Best wishes to Dylan!

Great investing podcast!
Impossible to avoid the impact of politics these days with the way they are affecting the macroeconomic environment in which business, especially those in US, exist. Motley Fool hosts have a variety of positions, but they are no ideologues. Appreciate the viewpoints they provide. Finally, the selection of bumper music is occasionally so on point as to make one's heart melt. Well done.

Terrible timing .. fools for real!
They come out talking about how pessimistic they are and no way they can get these trade deals done.. meanwhile on X Trump announces trade deal with China. Blinded by TDS

Too political
Talk about stocks and not about politics

Tuesday shows with Allison and Bro were the best
Tuesday shows with Allison and Bro were the best. With Allison leaving I hope MF can still do weekly shows with Bro. Maybe a full half hour

GREAT Podcast
Love the information and viewpoints they provide. Highly recommend!

Going Downhill
I have been a faithful listener for many years but just can’t take the constant virtue signaling about how scary the world is now and how we need to reset. Just say you hate the current administration and be honest.

Great investment ideas and stories
Love the podcast, investment ideas and how to look at a company. Makes investing not easy, but doable if you understand the right valuation metrics for the type of company your looking at.
But for the love of everything, please stop running outro music of the last minute+ of interviews/segments… very annoying

Great show and content but…
One of the few well done podcasts geared towards investing
Lionel barber is a moron!!

Seemingly zero discernment on AI
The hosts are cheerleaders for AI, and the sense is that there is no critical thinking involved. Heck, one of their recent expert interviews featured a professor who struggled to remember the correct order to the letters "GPT" in chat gpt. That's sloppy, and it's obvious. I have to wonder what's not obvious, but is also creeping into the advice and insights provided.

Some incorrect info 1/17/25
Incorrect information at the beginning of the January 17, 2025 episode! It was said that because of national security the Supreme Court could and did override the First Amendment but this is NOT correct. The Supreme Court did not reach the merits of the First Amendment claims because they ruled that foreign governments don't have invincible First Amendment rights. BIG DIFFERENCE! The Supreme Court ***did not overrule the First Amendment*** Source: I'm a paralegal in DC that worked on several drafts of the "Tik Tok" law.

That's Jack
Why is this woman’s voice on air?
Please keep the woman who has the fake raspy whisper voice and uses every jargon term in the book off the air. I hate to be so critical but I love the show otherwise. Her tone is so condescending. Why does she speak like we are all so ignorant? Does she have an actual personality or just this fake radio one?

“No one understands tariffs”
On the Nov 8 show (The Fed, The Election, and What’s Next) one of the hosts said—direct quote—“No one understands tariffs. I can’t explain them.” WTH?? Everyone from expert economists to novice investors like me understands that tariffs are taxes on imported goods that create higher prices.
That’s the moment this show lost all credibility for me. If they can’t explain such a simple concept, how can I trust anything they say?

Helpful even for a beginner!
Plus the banter is excellent 👍

No subject matter experts
Their analysts go beyond their knowledge. When they talk about tech and AI they have little knowledge. How about staying with the company performances.

10/31/24 Episode with Larry The Werewolf
LOL… what the heck was that??
I knew Ricky was in trouble when Larry kept calling him “Mr. Mulvey” Ha!

Elon meat riders
They worship this guy and never talk about all his failed promises and stuff he said would happen that never did. They give him far too much credit

Flipped off
Please never have Emily Flippen on the show again. She is straight word salad and the worst additional input consistently.

Best
This is what I have been looking for as a business school student. Straight to the point, educative, informative, fact based business podcast.

The Best
I came across this show more than three years ago, and since then I haven't missed even a single episode. Ricky Mulvey, Dylan Lewis and Mary Long are amazing hosts and they bring in experts from both within and outside of Motley Fool. It will be too much bragging if I talk about the details of how this show converted me to a great investor, in spite of not having any finance background. My sincere thanks to everyone from Motley Fool.

Big shoes have been filled.
I really enjoy Motley Fool Money. When Ricky asked for reviews in the episode from 9-12-24 I am happy to oblige. Ricky, Dillon, and Mary had big shoes to fill to take over for Chris Hill. Chris set a high bar and they have managed to get to it and in some episodes they even clear it. I listen while training bird dogs or cleaning kennels. Sometimes I’m out checking our cattle or working on equipment, and I’ll listen then. I can’t remember missing a show in a very long time. If it’s a particularly interesting topic with details the back button can be quite handy👏. Unlike many Motley Fool members I haven’t had great luck with their stock recommendations but none the less I’m always searching for better ways to become a smarter investor. I have used several premium services in the past, but now I’m only a subscriber to Stock Advisor 🇺🇸 and Hidden Gems Canada 🇨🇦 . 🍁 Motley Fool Money is informative, entertaining, and sometimes it even has that hidden witty humor many people enjoy, including me. The guests they book are generally very enjoyable and informative to listen too. My favorites include Jim Gilles, Bill Mann, Matt Argisinger, and old school Ron Gross there are others that do an excellent job contributing as well. Follow the show and get 20-40 minutes of entertainment and information about investing and general money management everyday. Keep up the good work all!

One of my favorites
Motley Fool Money is one of my favorite podcasts. I look forward to listening to it daily, usually on my way home from work, but really whenever I can fit it in. It’s just the right length. I appreciate being kept up-to-date with investment news. I enjoy the variety of guests and their candid responses, including when they’ve made mistakes. The hosts do a great job. I especially enjoy Tuesday episodes with Robert Brokamp and the Friday week wrap-up shows when a couple of stock ideas are shared. Bill Mann, Ron Gross, Emily Flippen, Asit Sharma and the Canadian, Jim Gillies are some of my favs.

Great investment show!
Wonderful show with down-to-earth hosts and objective advices. I love to listen to this podcast when I’m doing my chores. It saves me a lot of time in keeping up the news and researches to manage my portfolio.

Ruined by ads
You’ve just lost another long-time listener.
I’ve been a daily/weekly listener since 2018, and have really enjoyed the knowledge and entertainment that this show delivers week after week. That said, this show has been thoroughly ruined by ads. The bad “Range Rover Sport” ads should have been a warning of things to come, because the latest round of random ads have made this show completely unlistenable. I though the show had managed to recover after Chris Hill left, but it’s reached a new all-time low. How many future paid Motley Fool members are you losing in exchange for a few ads? You’ve just lost another one.

Used to be a good show.
Lately, amount of in-show advertising is just ridiculous.

Too any ads
Way too many ads…what gives? Sadly you’ve just lost a listener.

3 minutes of commercials at a clip
Good podcast. Noticed last day or so commercials have started. Have to pay the bills I guess - but 3 minutes of commercials at a clip is too much

What a shift
MF in the past had some ads then went ad free. Then added a 2-3 minute Range Rover ad. But now it seems like 15 minutes (the fan boys will correct my estimate). They must be continuing to lose members like me who felt the product has slipped greatly and no longer a good value. I’ll listen but will fast forward thru the ads

Meet The Fool
Just listened to latest installment. The host Mary is giggling every few mins. Adds nothing. What is point. The person being interviewed is not laughing. A little bit naive. Distracting.

Essential listening for long term investors
I’ve been listening for years, I’ve been benefiting from the great, down-to-earth discussion. I especially appreciated the recent episode on CEOs, how we are finally waking up to how ineffective old alpha-males like Jamie Dimon and Steve Ballmer can destroy the value of a company, while enlightened leaders like Nadella create and are lead by great teams. Need more Dillon and less Ricky Mulvey.

great investment show, love it

Good show with interesting viewpoints
I like to hear the commentary on current business and finance events. They do a good job. However, Tim Beyers’ microphone could be better. His voice comes through as very harsh and grating. I’m forced to skip ahead to the next segment to give my ears a break. I like his opinions but the voice….

What happened to Deidre Woollard!!?
Deidre Woollard was literally the only reason why I listened to this podcast. She was so smart and informed and serious about research. The other folks are a little bit too bro-heavy for my taste, or simply too immature or inexperienced to take seriously. What a loss!

It’s how I keep up with the intersection of technology and business
This podcast is why I know anything about upcoming lifestyle changes bc of the latest technology. Great interviews about real estate in space, flying taxis, current vs future AI, etc. It’s cool to know which companies are at the forefront, whether I choose to invest or not.
Would love to hear more from Tim Beyers and Kirsten Guerra!

I like it
Not for everyone, but if you like stocks and investing it’s really well done. Obviously it’s not like some magic investing tool but it’s good for helping you learn and stay up to date on things.

Best Show Ever!
“More A.I. = More Cyber Threats” was the most informative episode of this podcast thus far. The technical insight combined with practical advice will certainly prove valuable to my career and personal life.

Great analysis plus extras
I have been a service subscriber for many years as well as a listener. Very useful market information plus some unexpected life tips along the way. Dizzy Pig Pineapple Head spice on salmon has been life changing. Thanks for the tip Jason.

Less stock talk
Combining shows may have been good for algorithms but not content. Podcast used to talk about stocks, now more commentary and interview snippets. I listened to industry focus religiously for a decade. Now rarely listening to this podcast. More Dylan, Moser, and stocks please.

The anti conservative sentiment has gotten bad over the years, but the full episode on the Grinder App was disturbing. Do better.
