The Tagline
“Markets, money, and life — with actual humor.”
Full Review
Animal Spirits is the investing podcast that does not take itself too seriously while still delivering serious analysis. Michael Batnick and Ben Carlson have genuine chemistry, covering everything from macro trends to real estate to the psychology of money. Their 'Talk Your Book' segment, where sponsors pitch their products openly, is one of the most honest advertising formats in podcasting.
Fun Fact
The podcast name comes from John Maynard Keynes, who used 'animal spirits' to describe the instincts and emotions that drive economic behavior — a fitting name for a show that loves discussing investor psychology.
