FAQ

Does CWT check the credibility of guests?

Our show brings you voices from across the trading world—from seasoned, high-profile pros to the guy or gal next-door trader. While most of our guests are active in the markets, we may also feature guests from other fields who offer fresh perspectives and shed light on different sides of trading and investing. When a guest’s trading or investing track record is central to their story, it’s our practice to ask for proof—which may take different forms depending on the situation—to our satisfaction. Ultimately, we rely on our own judgment, discretion, and research to ensure we deliver candid and credible conversations.

How does one become a guest on the show?

We invite guests to appear on our podcast through a variety of channels. These include recommendations from our network, inquiries from potential guests, and our own outreach to individuals we believe would be a strong fit for our show. If you or someone you know would make a great guest on our show, you may submit our in-take form for review and consideration.

Do Guests Pay You to Get on the Show?

No, our guests never pay to be on the show. We don’t accept payment for interviews. Each guest is invited because of their experience, expertise, story, or insights we believe will be valuable to our audience. We do have sponsors who help cover the expenses of running a podcast, but sponsors are completely separate from our guest selection.

Why do you have so many ads on the episodes?

We include sponsor ads to help cover the costs of producing the podcast — from recording and editing to distribution. Sponsorships make it possible for us to keep bringing you episodes for free. And we really appreciate you listening through them — it helps keep the show going.

Why are you audio-only?

Our podcast is audio-only—even on video platforms like YouTube. We’ve made this choice intentionally, because we believe focusing on the voice alone removes distractions and allows you to truly connect with the conversation. Plus, audio gives you freedom: you can listen while commuting, cooking, or working out—without being glued to a screen. In a world already overloaded with screentime, we want to give your eyes a break while still engaging your mind.

Do you make money from the podcast?

We don’t run this as a profit-driven project; it’s part of our ongoing advocacy for the trading community. We’re able to keep the podcast running thanks to the support of our current sponsors. Their contributions cover the basic expenses of producing and maintaining the show—things like hosting, editing, and distribution. If you would like to sponsor, donate, or contribute in some way to support and help keep the podcast going, feel free to contact us here or email us at hello@chatwithtraders.com - thank you in advance.
