Description
It’s more than just a show about personal finance. It’s a show about making finance personal. Even though your money might feel very private, finance and economics can often feel like this vast, convoluted world where it’s hard to figure out what’s actually relevant and what you should really believe. Brunch & Budget on Bondfire Radio is about how the hidden truths in big finance affect your everyday life. So tune in and let’s get personal.

Customer Reviews
I can’t believe that I’m the first to review!
Brunch & Budget is fantastic—I’m finally at point in life where caring about my money is no longer a choice, and Pam and Dyalekt give you all of the info you need in a totally digestible format. Super informative, super direct, and amusing at times.
Much Needed & love- A MuST!
I love the easy but very real honest way they discuss finances and financial wealth for people of color. Love that you understand that sometimes our communities have complicated and emotional relationships with money.
So smart and easy to follow!
It’s hard for me to wrap my head around finances, and the hosts of this show really break it down in a digestible way. Make yourself a nice breakfast and put this show on!
