Okay, on to the show. We started hour one with Ari from NYC, a physician who has done a great job of saving for retirement but is a little concerned about his asset allocation. Next up was Dianne in Portland who was wondering if she and her husband need to consult with a financial advisor. Two great calls to start the show.
This week is another example of how the radio and podcasting world really is like a small fraternity/sorority where hosts often appear on each other’s shows.
Today it’s Felix Salmon, host of the Slate Money podcast, joining us. If you’re not familiar with Felix, I think the best way to describe him is as a contrarian and/or curmudgeon…something he happily admits!
I’m a big Felix fan and have been reading (he did stints at Reuters, Portfolio Magazine and Euromoney) and listening to him for quite some time so I had a list of topics to cover, including:
- Corporate responsibility
- Active versus passive investing
- His ongoing relationship with Anthony Scaramucci
- The student loan crisis
- What’s next for the US economy
In addition to hosting Slate Money, Felix is currently the editor of Cause and Effect.
