Customer Reviews
Professional and good content
A professional podcast with good content. So far, I just see one episode. I hope they keep producing them.
Simply Vanguard, clean and objective as always.
Its their clean customer focused funds that attracted me to Vanguard as my Mutual Funds company. When I found their podcast, it was no less clean, objective and informational. Any average investor would appreciate the contents. Good Work.
Very informative
Short and sweet, these podcasts cover a wide range of personal finance issues that most people will find enlightening at best, enjoyable at least. There have only been a few that I've skipped. Definitely worth a listen.
