Great interviews that are thought provocative. Thanks!!

Excellent and thoughtful interviews with lots of timely topics.

Excellent: thoroughly discusses the latest research on asset allocation and financial theory with the most knowledgeable and experienced guests. They do not dumb down content for novices and target an audience that understands finance and investing.

Really like most of the episodes, especially with Benz interviewing. But this latest episode with Mike Pyle saying nothing with a lot of words was worse than useless - a waste of my time. The interviewer (not Benz) did a poor job by not holding him to giving coherent answers to the questions, just blah, blah, buzzwords and technical jargon, blah, blah. (Or maybe I’m just too dumb to comprehend?) Again, mostly great content, but this last interview was so bad it made me angry enough to review.

Morningstar is an excellent company. I don’t think you can beat the market using it but it has great information and I wish I had invested in it years ago.

Scott Bondurant - Why Mean Reversion Means Your Portfolio Should Have More Stocks - Another in years of consistently excellent podcasts.

The biggest issue I have with this show is its format. There are numerous missed opportunities to learn from the guests. The show is structured like a generic interview, wasting too much time delving into the backgrounds and personal details of the guests instead of focusing on their specific expertise. I would prefer a format that is more conducive to learning, as that’s why most people listen to these podcasts. Given the high quality of most guests, an interview format more akin to the Rational Reminder podcast would elevate this show to a top listen.

This is an excellent podcast for the vast majority of investors. Morningstar has been a leader in providing investing information for decades and this podcast continues that tradition. Always a good weekly listen.

As a Morningstar subscriber to get very understandable and helpful analyses of individual stocks or funds and a long-time listener of this podcast, I can sincerely say what a gem Morningstar has been in my life in giving me useful and actionable advice, making me aware of opportunities to invest or things to avoid (ways to lower taxes, leveraging tax-advantaged retirement funds or government bonds, saving for retirement, etc.). It is probably my best investment in financial literacy and financial advice over the years. Thanks for all you do and keep up the good work!
