I miss the old show. Hope to see it back some day soon!

I absolutely loved this Podcast! I’m so sad that I don’t get to hear Allison and Bro on a weekly basis now. I learned a tremendous amount about investing through this podcast. I hope one day it will come back.

I loved listening to Answers for years and am disappointed it is gone. Wish it would come back some day. I miss Allison and Bro. They were great.

I love the format of this program. They address listener questions which provides helpful insight to areas of investment thought you never knew you needed. Alison keeps the mood light and Robert is very well rounded in his expertise. By the way, I learned to love Alison’s voice…delightful! She is a gem.

Please update your podcast description, which is currently silent on sanctimonious BLM lecturing, to reflect that it is part of your content. Your base content is great. Stop ruining it with these distractions, and if you’re going to keep dropping in BLM surprises, put it in your podcast and show descriptions.

I’ve been going back through Answers since I started listening at the end of 2020. I HIGHLY recommend the 5th Anniversary episode—the part where they play two clips of an episode at half speed is spit-take funny! I fortunately listened to an episode from two years ago that gave me an answer to a question I had as to whether I can move a stock or fund from my investment account to my IRA—nope. They then explained tax efficient investing. They treat their listeners as intelligent investors who only need information and not advice. Very helpful.

I remember when I first started listening to this show, I enjoyed the chemistry between Alison and Robert and kind of that casualness feeling that this show had. They would bring on guests but it was always Alison and Robert interviewing the guests together. Then (And I think it was the pandemic that made this happen), it kind of became a monolouge show where one of them would talk for most of the show, or there would be an interview where it was just one of the hosts. I was like, ok, Fine. You have to adjust during a pandemic and I get that. However, there was one show that felt like the casualness of the old show, and that was the end of the month mailbag. Well, earlier this year for some reason the hosts took a month off (I get that, we all need vacations) and played archived episodes where they featured the "Answers Answers" segment. They haven't called the mailbag "Answers Answers" in a long time. Then when they came back, they basically said we are getting rid of the mailbag show and bringing back the Answers Answers segment. Ever since the announcement, I'm wondering to myself what this show is. It used to be a show where they would talk a topic centered around your money and provide answers to those questions, hince the show title "Motley Fool Answers". The Mailbag show was great because it actually went back to the roots of what "Motley Fool ANSWERS" is supposed to be. Now it's a show where one of the hosts monolouges or we get a boring interview and the tone and kind of casual atmosphere of the it has been totally lost. It's gotten boring now.

So sad they are not doing the mailbags anymore, that was a big highlight about this podcast.

So was such a fan of this podcast for many reasons with the main one being its uniqueness in light of all the financial podcasts that just seem to mimic each other. Allison and Bro’s format was special and a must listen every Tuesday for me. Absolutely loved and anticipated the mailbag pod every month. Sorry and sad to say as it is currently formatted this podcast is not on my must listen list any longer. 😌

There are inside jokes, Bro gets a new name every show, the banter is wonderful, and I just love this podcast. All this, and you get a wonderful insight into your future financial needs. Just a great place to learn about financial planning.

Allison and Bro are fantastic. Concise information, well presented with excellent, intelligent guests. My favorite podcast and being a road warrior, all I listen to are podcasts.

Excellent monologue on remote working, go get em Alison!

Info is pretty good, but the chat between the host and expert is childish.

Love the show! Alison and Bro have great chemistry and keep me entertained while sharing helpful knowledge and advice.

Whenever he speaks, there is a background clicky-clanky noise as if someone is doing mouse clicks in the background, or is it mouth click? It’s super annoying and distracting. Get a better equipment please!

Mr. Broekamp didn’t mention a risk of Roth IRAs. the strategy works - assuming Congress keeps it’s promise to not tax Roth IRA proceeds. given that the “no tax” promise needs to be kept for at least the next 10 Congresses, and Congress will be looking for $$, i’ll personally take my tax deduction now and worry about taxes later. Given the speed of Secure Act passage, changing the rules can be done quickly, when Congress wants to.

I normally love all of your podcasts and the September Mailbag episode was shaping up to be no different, but this week you had one person write in about people at their workplace not performing the way they would expect. I thought this was a real missed opportunity to challenge the expectations of some during this time. First, I am an employee working remotely and I would do anything to get back into an office safely because working from home is often much harder than being at an office (not than being a frontline worker by any stretch) in terms of the lack of places to work, the lack of infrastructure in most homes, the other people living in the same space you are working, etc. Second, anyone listening in America and especially those in California and the Gulf states are going through several crises (economic, social, health, and habitat). Parents are having to teach their children at home while attempting to hold onto their jobs. Some single people are isolated in their apartments not seeing other people. We don’t know exactly what our coworkers circumstances are. Some have moved time zones to be with family (sick or not) during this time and may be working at night. I was so disappointed that the answer you gave didn’t focus on seeing each other as people and working to give those around us the space they need. You mentioned it, but just barely and commented on the fact that people still need to be performing. This pandemic has an outsized impact on women and the fact that it has not been mentioned on your platform made me look into other services today to find one run by women and BIPOC individuals. That is simply because women understand that this pandemic is impacting people differently based on gender and race. Women run households, they often determine the spending, and they especially deserve a break while serving more as teachers, caretakers, and employees during this time. BIPOC individuals have again taken on the job of teacher for all of their non-BIPOC friends and family, this pandemic has outsized health impacts on them, and they are grieving the fact that repeatedly the people in power seem not to care about dismantling the systems that kill and oppress those without certain privileges. Please be more cognizant of the fact that you have the power to model empathetic workplaces for those outside of your company. Employees have to perform, but this is a different time and requires us to pick up the slack for others when we can and be thankful for what we do have.

I started listening to this show in 9th grade and it has helped me a lot over the years.

Alison and Bro are the absolute best. I discovered this podcast six months ago (Feb 2020) and I’ve listened to almost every episode since 2014. The show is very dynamic and they repeatedly discuss good long-term investing practices but still take time to branch into other fun finance/investing topics as well. Love it! Alison, stay fun. Bro, keep awful-izing. STOCKS!

Great show. Bro is very informative about a wealth of subjects and Alison keeps us entertained and keeps the show moving. I love the frequent guests that appear.

Bro provides sincere answers. I like when actual questions are answered but it seems like this podcast stretches too far to come up with ideas, and more recently the guests have little to do with stocks or investing. I find myself fast forwarding or skipping it all together.

Thanks for sharing all the fun facts and planning info. I’ve been listening for 2 years. I recommend listening at 1.5x (but I recommend that for almost all podcasts) ..STOCKS! bonds!

Covers a variety of finance topics with guest commentators, a real-world practical approach, and two charismatic hosts. Alison Southwick is full of energy and enthusiasm and Robert Brokamp offers solid dependable insights. I also like the way they include Rick, the editor. This the best of the Motley Fool podcasts in my opinion, informative and upbeat, and is the only money related podcast I listen to consistently. Love your podcast!

I look forward to your podcast every week. I usually learn something but I always get a smile.

Stick to stocks not politics.

I don’t understand this

Can u talk about how to pick good dividend stocks

Always timely advice delivered in a fun format. Good job guys!

Most financial podcasts are so dry and boring. They’re un listenable. Not this one. Great hosts, good info actually entertaining. I never miss one. Allison is the best. .And that other guy..... he’s good too.

Great Podcast for all financial levels to succeed in Life! From the beginner to the advanced you can learn a lot from Allison, Bro, and all there guests! Keep up the great work! Long time listener. Randy B

New listener here who finds their insight on the market very helpful and informative.

I found his a few weeks ago and enjoy listening during the time of corona virus now. Allison makes me feel better with her friendly upbeat approach. The hosts have good advice and make help me think about finances in a new way. Thanks for being there and keep up the good work.

The host’s voice is painful!

I don’t always know what they are talking about, but I find it interesting and I am learning!

Allison is so enthusiastic and both Allison and Robert make some complicated issues accessible.

Anyone else think Allison sounds like the female version of Charlie Day?

I love these guys. I am a MF subscriber and have made a bunch of money off their recommendations. The podcasts, however, keep me entertained and still engaged in the market while driving, running, shopping, or otherwise detained. Thank you for all the knowledge and the wealth you’ve helped me grow! Alison, you crack me up. Your laugh does make me want to rip out my earbuds but I’m too overcome by laughing along with you. Bro, you’re the perfect straight man. Keep be the best of the (all great) MF podcasts!

Love the content and love the hosts. I appreciate the broader financial topics covered in Answers and have learned a ton so far. I’m 23 years old and the Motley Fool family of shows have made me more excited (and informed) about investing in my future. Fool on, Dylan from Boston

Exceptionally informative podcast with a good dose of laughter. A true pleasure to listen to.

Why is Bro the only one listed as a host on apple podcasts?

Interesting, informative, and entertaining. Keep up the great work!

Because of the motley fool podcasts I’ve gone from someone who knew nothing about investing to feeling confident about helping my family live a smarter, happier, and richer life in less than 2 years. Thank you all!

Every week that I listen to this (and it is EVERY week), I feel I just had a beer with these two and got a little bit smarter.

This Podcast is great, and doesn't just cover stocks. Alison and Robert Brokamp (Bro) do a great job covering a number of different topics that affect people and their finances. They do this with a fun, lively Podcast which brings in guests, covers historical fun facts, and helps listeners figure out how topics might impact they're plans in their financial future. Alison's voice is pleasant and cheerful, helping to make a long commute happier and enjoyable in the car or on the train for work.

I like all The Motley Fool podcasts, but this is my favorite! I’ve been investing for almost 20 years with help from The Fool and I still learn all kinds of interesting and helpful stuff from this podcast. Besides it is just simply fun to listen to Alison and Bro and sometimes a guest and whatever they’re up to on any given week. You all make investing fun, and I look forward to your podcast every week! Thanks!

Great podcast, I’ve been listening for the last couple years. Enjoy learning about things I haven’t heard about elsewhere

It’s always a pleasure listening to y’all and your guest. Very delightful!!

This by far my favorite personal finance. Alison and Bro have great energy and a passion for what they do. I also appreciate the occasional side tangent or financial history lesson.

Love this podcast!!! One of the episodes they played back a previous podcast at half speed and they sounded drunk and I was laughing so hard I missed my exit on the way to work! Don’t worry, I wasn’t late. Keep it up guys!

You guys are not only extremely informative but hilarious “here is a begillion dollars” 😂😂 I look forward to every podcast you guys drop keep ‘em coming BRO and Allison. Merry Christmas and a Happy prosperous New year’s to y’ll RJ
