Check Out Wise Bread's New Podcast & Win $100

The content is great, though it definitely sounds as if the host is reading, I am sure that is just because this is new and it will improve with time. I learned a number of things in one episode of the podcast and will be keeping it on my subscription list.

These are really detailed treatments of very specific things - not every episode is relevant (or interesting) to me, but the ones that are, are full of good information. The host needs to add some personality to her narration, you know, make it more conversational.

I found these podcasts really informative, and were a pleasure to listen to; the narrators sounded a little stiff, but managed to keep enough inflection in their voices to keep it interesting. I can't wait to apply some of these tips and tricks.

She sounds a little...robotic. The info is great, but I generally like podcasts that are a little more conversational. This kind of sounds like listening to an advertisement. I think I would rather read this, then listen to it.

Though informative, I found myself losing interest. The person sounded like they were reading from a script. I like more of a conversational podcast, like they are talking directly to me.

I really liked the podcasts. They were very informative. I liked the Linsey's presentation better then the Lynn's. It seemed like Lynn was talking too fast. I will be looking forward to more podcasts!

Glad to be subscribed to these podcasts! They have great info and are more realistic than most "money saving" ideas. Thanks!

I love the fun and funky music that precedes each tip. Lindsey has a very well-modulated voice and is pleasant to listen to. I like how easy it is to download and listen to the pod-casts on i-Tunes. The only real complaint I have is that Lindsey speaks too quickly. It was hard to follow along with what she was saying because she seemed to be racing through the dialogue. I did enjoy the info on rebates. Everyone thinks they are not worth the time, but they can net you quite a lot of money if you follow through and send them in. My favorite was the Double Your Coupons, Double Your Savings! podcast. I always use them and this was great validation for taking the time to shop at the stores who offer this.

Thanks for the podcasts, and the chance to win $100 Amazon GC!

Robots are awesome!

I listened to the Target episode by Lindsey and thought it was very useful. I'm an avid Target shopper, so I knew about some of the tips, but I had no idea there was a schedule to when items go on clearance. I learned a few other tips, as well, and will file that knowledge away for when I'm planning my next shopping trip!

I am always looking for helpful hints and tips for saving money and getting bargains. These podcasts are perfect. They are not too long yet full of great information.

Here we have free, excellent help in these financially troubled times. The information is thorough, comes in small packets and is concise. Way to go.

What's not to like? My primary knock is the ad, specifically not flagging it as an ad at the beginning. I almost quit listening then. Secondly, ad placement. I'm certainly no expert on advertising, but my own preference (after not having to have ads at all) is that you lead with your information, break part-way through with something like "Now here's a brief cutaway to pay the bills...." so as to avoid the question of actually endorsing the product then finish with the meat.

As to complaints about "reading" the podcast. I agree that a more conversational style is better--- but that comes with practice and experience. Perhaps delivery from an outline rather than the actual script would help. Key to dealing with time constraints is practicing beforehand and assiduously avoiding riffs.

That being said, I say HOORAY! for these podcasts and keep 'em coming. I'm a subscriber already.

The Target podcast was very interesting

I thought the Podcast was very informative. I particularly enjoyed the Target one because it was extremely specific. I liked the more general topics as well (like double coupons, etc.), but I got the most value out of the Target one because it went into such great detail.

Lots of good information! One constructive thing I could say is that sometimes it sounds like she's reading an article, complete with section headings. A more conversational style would be better. But, overall, I really like her voice and don't think she sounds monotone at all.

Snappy music, starts fast. Overall very professionally done. Deepen the timbre of the voice (make it deeper) and speak a little bit more slowly. But the voicework is clear, just a little bit rushed - slow down, deepen, breath & relax & it will be perfect. Try to talk to a person more & "read" less. You're presenting tons of information quickly, I find the information valuable- just slow down. Like your tip for calling in advance, it's often difficult to get or find a manager- stopping at the help desk might be good too.

very good podcast. i love wise bread! this pod cast will be recommended to my friends!

I got an error trying to download the first three installments, but I was able to access the latest installment on double coupons. I admit I was a bit disconcerted by the ad at the beginning -- I was momentarily confused about what the advertised site had to do with double coupons! I knew the basics about how double coupons work already, but it was helpful to get specific websites to visit for info on deals and coupons. One other useful piece of info that I wasn't aware of was that stores often limit the availability of their "best deal" items, so the tip to get to the store early is a good one. Overall, I found the speaker's voice pleasant to listen to - she spoke at the right pace and clearly throughout. I would agree with other reviewers who say that many of the tips are common sense (e.g., taking multiple forms of payment to a store in case one isn't accepted), but I think I got enough new info to make this podcast worthwhile!

I have never heard this before. What I know is ipod only for music

Good podcast with lots of basic tips. Perhaps a little too basic for seasoned shoppers, but worthwhile nonetheless.
