Favorite FIRE podcast?
« on: October 25, 2021, 07:40:05 PM »
Hello,
I've been looking for a good podcast about FIRE and so far haven't found one I really like.
What are some of your favorites and why?
TIA

Paula Pant's "Afford Anything"
"Mile High FI"
"Millionaires Unveiled"
"Choose FI"
"Earn & Invest"
"Friends On FIRE"
"White Coat Investor" (oriented towards medical /dental professionals)

and Mad Fientist's "Financial Independence Podcast" is good, though he's all but stopped posting.  Same for "Bitches Get Riches".
I used to love "Listen Money Matters", though have been away from this awhile.

I love FI podcasts!

Find a phone app whose interface you like and use the search function. I use AntennaPod. For iPhones I suppose iTunes is the default? Not sure on that one.

You can subscribe to podcasts so that you get automatic updates for new episodes. My settings don't download everything automatically; I stream what I want to listen to over WiFi only, OR download selected episodes while on WiFi if I'll be away from it later (like on a walk).

That way, I don't fill up my storage and don't pay for streaming over data.

Podcasts are an incredible resource on a zillion subjects. Have fun!

The Bitches used to post new blogs on Tuesdays and Thursdays I think. Now they drop a podcast on one day and still a blog on the other, I think?

I second Bitches Get Ritches. A lot of it is very entry level, but they are fun and warm and their jingle gets stuck in my head sometimes.

Since posting this, I have listened to several Bitches episodes I had simply not noticed yet.  They're great!

You can find these on any podcast app, including the ones that are already standard on smartphone platforms.  Apple's iOS one is just called Podcasts.  I use one called Downcast.

Spotify just recommended this one to me last night -- hadn't heard of it before and it isn't specifically FIRE focused, but many of the interview subjects have FIRE as a goal if they aren't there already.  Most are stealth millionaires:

Not a huge fan of the hosts, to be honest, but the interviewees have mostly had interesting stories.  There are already over 200 episodes so quite a bit of back catalog to work through.

Thanks for the ideas. Except for the Mad Fientist's podcast, all the rest are new to me. I'll look into them.
