The Money Scope Podcast
The Money Scope is a weekly limited-run podcast about personal financial decision-making for Canadian professionals. The podcast follows a curriculum deliberately designed to make you a better, more thoughtful financial decision maker.
It is hosted by Benjamin Felix - Portfolio Manager and Head of Research at PWL Capital, and Dr. Mark Soth - the Loonie Doctor.
The moneyscope.ca site is peppered with photoshopped fun, and each episode page is deliberately designed to be a multi-media curriculum with annotated transcripts, primary source references, and links to relevant materials in our other blog and podcast formats.
