Welcome to the SportsCenter of Financial News
At The Big Skinny, we cover stocks, the economy, and all things money — with less jargon, more bite, and absolutely ALL FILLING, ZERO FLUFF. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just trying to figure out what the heck the Fed actually does, we break it all down in a way that makes sense — no MBA or nap required.
National Media Coverage
Lou gets around more than a meme stock on Reddit.
Lou doesn’t chase the spotlight. It just keeps showing up. Fox Business, Fox News, Yahoo! Finance – when markets move, you’ll find Lou in the chair. It’s not just airtime, it’s influence. And it’s hard to ignore someone who knows how to turn a segment into a soundbite people remember.
The Big Skinny Live
Mondays @ 5PM EST
The Big Skinny LIVE isn’t just another finance podcast—it’s where Main Street gets a one-up on Wall Street. Hosted by Lou Basenese, with his no-nonsense sidekick Dodd, we cut through the noise to spotlight the headlines, charts and investments that matter most (or least). And we bring on sharp market guests who actually say something meaningful and share their best stock picks. It’s fast, smart, and built for anyone who wants to stay informed without dozing off. Forget the fluff and follow the money — with a little sarcasm on the side.
