Love it

My fav as an Aussie stockmarket magazine show.
keewee42

Informative and Entertaining

I love listening to this unbiased economic podcast. So hard to find a program that isn’t heavily influenced. Learn a lot about economic history, politics, current economics, Australian economics in relation to the rest of the world. I never miss an episode. Easy to listen to because of the easy conversational tone.

Broad unbiased insights

This is my go to podcast for insights into the Aussie investing and financial state of the Federation. Some good tips in there too.

The Money Cafe Podcast

The best podcast, keep up the great work, my husband and I listen every Thursday. I would like longer episodes. Often amusing which is a plus.

Great

It’s a great show. The background noises are great. Everything about is great.

Good show.... but microphone

Hey guys, very informative show. Any way you can get a directional microphone to lower the background noise? The cafe concept is cool but crashing plates get noisy. Last week was especially bad for noise.
