Watch the trailer: Welcome to Marksplain It To Me | Why We Started a Finance Podcast
Let's be honest — most finance content is either dry enough to put you to sleep or so jargon-heavy it might as well be in another language. That's exactly the gap Marksplain It To Me is stepping into.
In the brand-new intro episode (just 15 minutes — perfect for your commute), hosts Mark and Carly sit down to explain why they're launching the podcast, what listeners can expect, and why they think finance deserves a plain-English makeover.
The premise is simple
Mark knows the finance world inside and out. Carly asks the questions the rest of us are actually thinking — the ones we're too embarrassed to Google. Together, they break down money, investing, and everything in between, without the acronyms, the assumed expertise, or the condescension.
What to expect from the show
- Honest conversations — no scripted, polished finance-bro energy, just two people figuring it out together.
- Simple explanations — jargon gets translated into plain English, every time.
- A few laughs along the way — because personal finance doesn't have to feel like a lecture.
Why this matters
Financial literacy content has a trust problem: too much of it is either selling something or talking down to its audience. Marksplain It To Me is positioning itself in the middle — credible enough to trust, casual enough to actually enjoy. That's a hard balance to strike, and it's exactly the kind of format that tends to build a loyal audience episode by episode.
