The Clark Howard Podcast

A consumer champion who reads the fine print so you don't have to.

Clark Howard has spent decades as a saver's advocate, and the show is essentially a running feed of ways to keep more of your money — better deals, quieter fees, and the traps hiding in everyday purchases.

Where some money shows chase big-picture investing, this one lives in the practical middle: which warranty is a waste, how to fight a surprise charge, when a 'sale' is not one. It rewards the listener who wants small, repeatable wins rather than a single grand strategy.

The register runs from breaking consumer news to listener questions, and the throughline is skepticism — assume the default option is designed to cost you, then find the cheaper path.

What you'll hear

  • Fee traps in banking, travel, and insurance
  • Deal breakdowns and consumer alerts
  • Straightforward answers to listener money questions
