Rational Reminder
Benjamin Felix and Cameron Passmore
Investment experts and finance professionals discuss market trends and strategies in long-form interviews.
Why we picked this
We picked Rational Reminder for its exacting, numbers-first approach to investing. Host Ben Felix and his colleagues work at the level of basis points, index construction methodology, and regulatory compliance costs—details most finance shows gloss over. Where other podcasts chase sentiment, this one dissects market structure and portfolio mechanics with practitioners who build the products. The result is a feed that treats investing as an engineering problem, not a narrative, and rewards listeners who want to understand why their portfolio looks the way it does.
