WhatTheFs

Welcome to What The Fifth: the fifth episode of WhatTheFs, Rak's Weekly Take in Five on Fads, Films, Finance & Fun, with Friends! If you are just tuning in, and haven’t had a chance to listen to the earlier ones, no worries - am using this one to do a recap of the first four, provide updates on what’s coming, and the general idea behind the podcast.
So far, we have covered the irrepressible & funny Ted Lasso, the stylish caper Lupin, contemporary gamer office in Mythic Quest, and the delicious revenge tale Promising Young Woman in the Fun & Film section.
On the Finance side, I have shared my thoughts around Roth IRA conversion for high income earners, Key legal/financial documents for when a child turns 18, opening of a new Credit Card to get started on building credit history, and a neat way to provide immediate access to your funds in case of any eventuality and increase your FDIC coverage at the same time!
The podcast is now listed on all major platforms: Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and iHeart Radio. So, search for 'WhatTheFs', & subscribe to the weekly feeds - an episode will drop every Friday, and if you like what you hear, share with your friends.
I will also be starting a twitter handle @What_TheFs to get an ongoing dialog going with the listeners and subscribers, and collect your feedback and tips to make the show better.
My goal is to Make you Happy, or Make you Money, or Make you Both :-)
