The Ramsey Show
The Ramsey Show (formerly known as The Dave Ramsey Show and The Money Game) is an American self-syndicated radio program hosted by finance author Dave Ramsey and a rotating group of co-hosts, that airs Monday through Friday from 2:00–5:00 P.M. ET. It is broadcast from the headquarters of Ramsey's company, Ramsey Solutions, in Franklin, Tennessee.
Besides terrestrial radio and podcast outlets,The Ramsey Show is also available on its own channel on iHeartRadio and Sirius XM. As of 2025, The Ramsey Show is among the most-listened-to radio shows in the United States according to Talkers Magazine.
The show began in June of 1992, when Dave Ramsey was invited to appear as a guest on WTN 99.7 FM in Nashville, Tennessee, to promote his self-published book, Financial Peace. His live personal finance advice on listener call-ins proved popular with the audience.
At the time, the station was undergoing Chapter 11 bankruptcy. When the regular host who had initially brought Ramsey on the air resigned over a financial dispute, Ramsey and insurance agent Roy Matlock offered to fill the vacant time slot for free for one month, Ramsey thinking he could at least sell more copies of his book. The resulting show, The Money Game, originally featured three rotating hosts when it first aired: Ramsey, Matlock, and real estate agent Hal Wilson. Each hosted a separate hour of the show and focused on their areas of expertise with callers. Wilson exited the program very early in its run, leaving Ramsey and Matlock as hosts.
As the show grew in popularity in Nashville, Ramsey and Matlock began hosting The Money Game full-time. In 1996, Ramsey proposed national syndication. Because Matlock was a licensed insurance agent in Tennessee, insurance regulators were uneasy about Matlock being on the air nationally, so Matlock voluntarily left the show to focus on his insurance business. With Ramsey as sole host, the program was renamed The Dave Ramsey Show in 1999.
Since 1996, Ramsey has handled syndication of The Ramsey Show independently through his company, Ramsey Solutions (originally publicly known as The Lampo Group). The show now airs on over 600 stations, SiriusXM, and iHeartRadio.
In 2013, the show moved from WTN to WPRT (known as "102.5 The Game") after contract negotiations with the former station fell through. One year later, on January 1, 2014, the show moved to WLAC.
In 2020, the show was rebranded as The Ramsey Show to reflect the inclusion of multiple permanent co-hosts. In a 2023 interview, Ramsey described the change as a way to prepare the program for "generational success" beyond his own involvement. Ramsey also said that he will continue to co-host The Ramsey Show alongside the new personalities "as long as I make sense."
