Podcasts: Afford Anything vs. The Mad Fientist

By Natasha I decided to compare two different financial podcasts that give good financial advice and suggest the best one. -afford anything: -afford anything pros: -good introduction with music -answers questions -good audio -sound effects -gives disclaimers and let's listeners know important information, ex. She isn't a professional -knows important information -the podcast episodes have good titles that let listeners know what the episode is about -she states her opinion but doesn't let her opinion influence her answer -has sponsors -she gives a good final answer that is clear and easy to understand -does question and answer episodes to make sure she's answering everyone's questions -afford anything cons: -not a professional -most episodes are long Overall afford anything is a good podcast to use to get information and helpful financial advice. -The mad fientist: -the mad fientist pros: -background music in some parts of the episodes -good introduction with music -has special guests -gives good advice -tells stories -talks to people who are professionals or people who have experience -suggests books, blogs, and other podcasts that are helpful -the episodes have good titles -the mad fientist cons: -minimal swearing -doesn't give that much finical advice in episodes but still is a little helpful -some episodes are long Overall the mad fientist is a good podcast to use to learn a little bit of information and is a good way to pass time. Therefore I think afford anything is a better financial podcast because it is overall more helpful and is a better podcast.
