The Money with Katie Show

Katie Gatti Tassin built this show out of a blog aimed at high-earning millennials who wanted to retire early, and it has grown into something more interesting than the usual FIRE content. She reads the academic papers. She pushes back on the cultural assumptions baked into personal finance advice, especially the ones about gender, marriage, and who is expected to pay for what. Episodes alternate between solo essays and guest conversations, and the solo episodes are where the show really earns its audience. Katie will spend 40 minutes picking apart a single idea, like whether paying down a low-interest mortgage early actually makes sense, or what the real numbers look like on a Roth conversion. She is willing to change her mind on air and say so, which is a rare thing in a space full of people selling courses. The guests tend to be economists, researchers, and writers rather than other influencers, which keeps the conversation grounded. If you already know the basics of index funds and compound interest and want someone who will engage with the harder questions, this is a good one to add to your rotation. It respects your time and your intelligence.
