The Meb Faber Show

Meb Faber is a co-founder of Cambria Investment Management, a bestselling author, and someone who has spent his career studying what actually works in investing by looking at decades (and sometimes centuries) of market data. His weekly podcast brings on top investment professionals — people like Ed Thorp, Jeremy Grantham, Howard Marks, Aswath Damodaran, Joel Greenblatt, and Richard Thaler — for conversations that focus on evidence over opinion. The topics reflect Meb's own research interests: trend following, smart beta, global equity valuations, shareholder yield, and tactical asset allocation. But the show is broader than any single strategy. One episode might cover why emerging markets look cheap relative to the U.S. by historical standards, while the next focuses on how a quant hedge fund builds its models. Meb asks direct questions and is not afraid to push back when a guest makes a claim that the data does not support. With 685 episodes and a 4.8-star rating from over 900 reviews, it is one of the highest-rated investment podcasts on Apple Podcasts. Episodes generally run 45 to 70 minutes. Meb also does solo episodes where he shares his current views on asset allocation, which listeners find especially useful for understanding how a professional actually positions a portfolio. The Meb Faber Show is a strong choice for investors who prefer numbers and historical context over narratives and hype. If you want to understand why certain factors outperform over long periods and how to build a portfolio around that evidence, Meb's archive is a genuine education.
