Customer Reviews
Consumer Alert for personal finance.
One of my favourite business/personal finance podcasts. Topic selection is excellent, highlights risky or otherwise inappropriate products that we come across or sold to us everyday. Given there aren't too many consumer alert kind of programs for persoanl finance, it makes this podcast unique and very very helpful.
It is awesome. Financial Education & fun all in one.
As stated by the shows host, it is done in hopes that people will learn what NOT to buy. Not that they are auto-sell, but to help people learn. It does this effectively, in a very short period of time. With wacky sound effects. Enjoy.
Funny
Helps us to laugh at some dubious decisions we have all made, and still make sometimes.
