Wes Moss

I love the new shows with Wes Moss. There is so much information that I often listen to each episode twice! The Clark Howard podcast is my favorite podcast!! Thank you!

Great Stuff

I started listening to Clark in 1995 on AM Radio when I would drive back and forth through Atlanta, GA. I was glad a few years ago when I found him on podcast. I appreciate him and his team very much!!!

I love Clark

I’ve been listening to Clark since I was a kid and my parents would have him on the radio during drives. He gives great advice

Dump Wes Moss

Clark, you are damaging your brand by allowing Wes Moss to be associated with your podcast. We realize you want to start to step back but this guy is toxic and gives dodgy advice. We also know that his firm is a big local advertiser. This one just stinks.

I love Clark

I do not know why in the past I just noticed on my Apple iPhone I gave Clark Howard a one out of five! I think that was a big mistake. I’m so sorry, Clark & Christa! I don’t know what happened. I tried to give you a five I can’t remember if I wrote anything at all. I didn’t see the review that I wrote. I think I just accidentally hit it. But I have been listening to you since you were on the radio and then I lost you for a few years and I found your podcast on my iPhone. I love you, Clark and Krista I do. I’m so sorry! You’re a five out of five that’s for Sure!
Interested bystander

Clark will be missed

Good luck in your newest adventure. Talk to Roger Whitney about filling in. The podcast needs a credible replacement when Clark retires.

My favorite podcast!

This is by far the one podcast I always look forward to. Clark and Christa are the perfect team and their good and uplifting nature makes me smile every morning. I appreciate how this podcast talks to the everyday people. You don’t feel intimidated by finance or numbers when you hear Clark speak. They feel like long time friends giving you everyday helpful advice! Thanks to all of you on this podcast for making it so enjoyable!

I just wish he did more episodes. Great info!
Be honest Clark

New host didn’t disclose truth social stock

New host, Wes Moss, is a founder of Truth Social, but did not disclose his stock holdings in that company on the podcast or his website. How can we trust a host who has massive individual stocks and didn’t bother to disclose them? He was also sued for mismanagement of the same company. Team Clark is setting their brand, which was trust and transparency, on fire with this choice.

Must have

Clark Howard has financial tips for everyone. There are practical and real ways to save money. I wished I would have started listening when I was a teenager, ha, ha. Too old for that but would be super wealthy now.

Truly honest & independent advice!

A friend turned me on to this show and it is my “must listen” show on a daily basis. Clark, Krista and team are genuinely wonderful people who are knowledgeable and bring truth to power. My financial strength and ability to discern potential fraudulent business practices and scams have 10X-ed since I started listening and learning 7-8 years ago. Clark.com is equally filled with information that we can trust as everyday people - I can’t thank this team enough!

To fill in the empty Thursday how about a repeat show

Independent advice

I have been listening to the Clark Howard show for almost 30 years now, initially on the radio and now on podcast. I have not found a better or more independent source of general personal finance advice than this. Without a doubt, regular listening to this show has provided me with the tools for better financial security and will do the same for anyone no matter where they are on this journey.

Pretty objective

It’s good to hear a discussion of financial and other matters without feeling like somebody is paying to have these ideas put out there.

Ads for Trump connected investments very worrying

Beware- Used to trust Clark. But he has a Financial person that sits in for him, who is a founder of Trump’s social network. Ads also everywhere in his site for the person’s financial firm. I don’t like a financial /political mix of any kind, and this is very troubling. Plus, their advice I heard was not good and odd.
-DebJ

Great advice!

Helpful information and tips that I look forward to listening to.

Great Simple Financial Advise

Young listener here. Great show. Was recommended by my parents and I’ve listened ever since. Great place to learn about interesting financial topics in a way that isn’t too confusing.

Great podcast! Thank you

A natural treasure!! 😉

I have been listening to Clark Howard for years on various stations, TV etc. Just like him, I absolutely LOVE traveling. I very much share his (almost childlike) enthusiasm when planning my trips &!traveling. The travel bug is a real thing!! 😊 For the last few years, I have been starting my day by listening to this podcast. The information Clark provides for his viewers and listeners has a real value and lots of practical uses. Knowledge is power!! I remember someone calling Clark “a national treasure”. I wholeheartedly agree with that. Clark & his team of likeminded staff are absolutely fantastic and ready to help in all things financial and beyond. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Long time listener

I have listened to Clark and more recently Crista for decades and I find their reviews and advice easy to understand and trustworthy.

Simply The Best

If there was only one Podcast I could have my kids listen to it would be The Clark Howard Podcast. It is like an instruction book for your financial and consumer life. There is one downside, Clark and Christa are so sweet I feel like I am getting cavities just listening to them!
Bobs my uncle Shmuel

Clark is an icon

Couldn’t make a consumer decision without his 2 cents!

Reasonable advice

Clark always keeps it reasonable. His short, daily podcasts are totally the way to go! Christa is a great balance, and will give helpful examples of how even she isn’t perfect when it comes to money, and that we’re always learning. They’ve become one of my go-to personal finance podcasts (I feel I’m an outlier as a 25 year old woman, just goes to show they’re excellent for everyone)

Love the advice, sonhelpful

Clark is great, excellent advice thank you! Honest, actionable advice!

Still saves me money, even after all these years

This podcast has saved me thousands over the years. Some of the discussions are simple for me at this point, some are new to me as issues evolve. If nothing else, I can always listen to Clark at normal speed when I need a sedative. Keep up the good work. Thank you for teaching us regular people how to navigate financial issues and stick up for ourselves.

Addicting podcast - and I save money

I need to listen to Clark daily. So entertaining in a boring sort of way. So informative and useful information. Clink stinks is such a creative way to get feedback.
JJenn12

Amazing way to learn!

Have been listening for about 6 months and this is such a great way to learn about finance. The explanations are so straightforward and practical that I still enjoy listening to topics that don’t specifically apply to my situation. Highly recommend!
not happy psss off

Get rid of annoying Christa

Love Clark

I’ve been listening to the podcast for about a year now. I can’t thank you enough for all the help. Love to Show
Does my opinion finally count

CLARK WHO? ;)

Hey Clark. A buddy of mine first introduced me to you and your podcast about a year ago. Wow am I glad he did. You have great money and common sense compassion for all your listeners. Thank you. Keep up the great work!!!

Thank you, Clark for enriching my life and saving my life financially.

Best advice on all financial matters!

I’ve listened to Clark for decades now and truly, his advice and wisdom has had huge implications on our finances and our future retirement. I love the content but also love his humility and just overall kindness! It’s rare for someone with so much notoriety!
Laura Otero& Family

Clark helping the next generation!

Clark I have listen to you for over 30 years. I, myself have not have the opportunity to become financially fit. I was a single mom of 3 for those 30years. My children are benefiting all the knowledge that you have given. My three children all have started straight out saving 10% in there retirement accounts. When we fly we watch to buy the tickets for air flare. Renting cars, hotels and just about anything you have schooled people on. I have used that knowledge to avoid paying extra. OH BY THE WAY; I liked the clarkie line at the end. Its nice to hear how other people has used your information to better there lives. BUT I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF KARENS IN THE WORLD. Its all about them. Oh well, its life. Love listening to you guys.

Favorite podcast

Clark has something for everyone. People struggling to get by to wealthy people trying to make the most from investments to latest scams and bargains. Clark is an upbeat kind knowledgeable person who is a joy to listen to. It’s not all about finances but a full and rich life. Love to podcast.

Money saying, Penny pinching ideas.

The best podcast show available. Chrisa adds some insight to the program. I have been a fan of Clark’s from the radio show 30+ years ago. It seems to keep getting better. My kids definitely know who Clark is! They have all of his books.

Clark Howard Show

Howard is so smart and interesting. He makes such wonderful and common sense points that people at all ages can learn from (I’m a young age 70. ) He has a great sense of humor that makes me laugh a lot ! I have been listening to him for years and I’m always bringing up his name and reiterating his advice to my family members and my social group. They always say to me “yes, we know about your podcast friend and all the great things he tells you ! “ Thank you, Clark and to your great staff for all that you do and teach us. You also are very humble man. God bless you ! Please don’t think about retiring- I’d miss you a lot!

Sensible advice

Advice the every day person can given in a easy to understand, concise manner. Enjoy listening to Clark. Also enjoy his Clark Stinks. Clark takes criticism well.
Mercer, WI

Honestly the best financial and consumer advice out there

I’ve been listening to Clark Howard in syndicate and podcast for decades now. It’s an investment of 30 and every time I listen and I always gain some value out of the topics discussed. Even when they’re not relevant to me. Furthermore, Clark just has a very kind demeanor and is a good human. I think him, and all of his fantastic staff, as Team Clark is an awesome one.

Clark Howard—Integrity Superstar

Honesty and trustworthiness are certainly hard to find these days—and if you value advice derived from those characteristics, stop right here and subscribe to The Clark Howard Show. For decades he has acted as the fiduciary to his listeners, and there’s no limit to his knowledge and careful research to stay on top of the most current deals and scams. I’ve listened to Clark for decades—and he’s saved my butt many times. He even does a weekly “Clark Stinks” segment where listeners are invited to correct his mistakes—I mean who does that! Clark is a ray of light—please never retire! And his sidekick Christa does an outstanding job serving as cohost. I give the show an A+++++++! Steve b. Six Mile SC

Very long time listener

I was born and raised in another country and living now in the US for quite a long time, I have had torn how to manage my money in this context. I started listening to Clark when he was on the radio many years ago and I still listen to his podcast almost every day. Thank you for helping me make sense of a very confusing system.

Turning into an Anti-Clarkie

Sad to see, but it’s obvious that Clark appears again and again to have no ecological value. His greed instinct overrides common logic that could be beneficial to the environment. Being proud of fossil fuel production is not the sign of an intelligent society, and shows a complete lack of a farther reaching conservation knowledge of said production. Clark, dear, it’s not sustainable and is killing the earth and its environment. Duh. We’re not all +millionaires who don’t care about anything but money. Smarten up for all our sakes.

The Guru of Financial Advice

I can’t say enough good things about Clark Howard and his team! My husband and I began taking his advice decades ago with his books as we were starting out in the work world and setting up retirement accounts. Then, we followed him to his radio show as we raised our children (setting up 529 plans and cost-saving tips). We are happy Clark is still giving great advice via this podcast. Now we are focused on all the great travel advice as we are preparing for our early retirement. We likely wouldn’t be in such a great financial position if it weren’t for Clark Howard. He is so much a part of our day-to-day discussions on topics across the board. Our kids are now also on board with his money-saving advice. We HIGHLY recommend this podcast Clark isn’t only one of the most well-informed hosts out there, he is also such a good guy. We aspire to be more like him in every way.

A Must-Listen Podcast

Thank you Clark and team for your podcast. By listening I feel informed, inspired, and entertained in equal measure.
Riorson Groupie

Long time listener, very grateful.

I’ve been listening to Clark for more than a decade. His advice is timely and he keeps us up-to-date in bite-sized chunks. I am a busy mom and I don’t have time to read a lot of financial self-help books. Listening to his podcast while I’m driving around helps me feel confident and powerful with my finances. It’s a priceless gift. Thank you Clark and Christa.

Long time listener

I’ve been listening to Clark Howard since before I had a computer or cell phone! Remember that thing called the radio? We followed a lot of his advice through the years and are now financially independent and have retired early! Ya don’t have to take all of his advice, just listen and adapt to your own lifestyle!

Team Clark!

I have listed to Clark Howard for decades (I started listening from the backseat since my parents were regular listeners) and I credit him with being the reason I was usually more financially literate than my peers. As a mom myself now, I love that my daughter recognizes and occasionally asks for me to turn on Clark. His podcast and website are my go to because of his wide range of advice (more than just budgeting or wealth building), his care and attention to listeners questions, common sense advice and his ability to give specific and nuanced answers. You will not hear him give the same advice to every caller but because he explains things so clearly it is never contradictory or confusing. Callers really get the guidance that is best for their situation as opposed to canned inflexible responses (that some others give as to not hurt their “brand”). Thank you, Clark Howard and I look forward to listening to you (or Christa when he retires for good and she takes over) for decades to come!
