Radio Interviews

Our priority at MoneySmartFamily is to help readers improve their finances and we partner with companies that could help you. Some links on this page are from our partners. Read how we earn money here.

Steve & Annette Economides have done radio interviews from Coast to Coast in America and in several countries around the world. This page contains a list of most of the interviews we’ve done. Many interviews were live and we had no way of getting a recording. Another bunch of radio interviews are only about 3 minutes long, and don’t provide much in the way of practical, measurable information to help you manage your money better. If you want to hear many of our longer, more substantive interviews, visit our podcast page – we regularly post interviews of ten minutes to one hour there.
