The Ramsey Show

The Ramsey Show takes live calls on the theme of finance. During the show, Dave Ramsey discusses life and money-related issues with callers. He is known for his complete disdain of debt collectors, calling them (among other things) “scum” and dishonest, and urging his listeners not to deal with them unless necessary, and then to get everything in writing, especially involving offers to reduce debts.

With a simple, seven-stage “baby steps” formula (based in part on the debt snowball method), Ramsey urges listeners to avoid all debt except for certain types of home mortgages, and to invest conservatively. One notable difference between his and other financial shows is that Ramsey attempts to go beyond mathematical mechanics and reach his callers on an emotional level.

Listen weekdays from 3 to 6 p.m. on AM1420 WBEC.
