The Investing for Beginners Podcast - Your Path to Financial Freedom

Andrew Sather and Dave Ahern started this show back in 2017, when very few investing podcasts actually spoke to people without finance degrees. Nearly a decade and 670+ episodes later, it remains one of the most approachable entry points for anyone trying to understand the stock market. The hosts focus on value investing and dividend growth investing, breaking down concepts like P/E ratios, balance sheet analysis, and intrinsic value calculations in plain English. A typical episode runs 30-45 minutes and might cover how to read a 10-K filing, why certain sectors perform differently during recessions, or how to evaluate a company's competitive moat. Recent episodes have tackled share classes and voting rights, practical metrics every new investor should track, and how to build a solid financial foundation from scratch. What makes this show stand out is the genuine back-and-forth between Andrew and Dave -- they disagree on things, ask each other follow-up questions, and admit when they got something wrong. They are not selling a course or pushing a specific brokerage. The pace is relaxed but substantive, and they consistently circle back to the idea that investing should be boring and methodical, not exciting and impulsive. If you have ever wanted to understand what Warren Buffett actually means when he talks about margin of safety, this podcast will walk you through it step by step.
