Money Wise with the Money Guys is a retirement-planning and community conversation show with a strong local-radio backbone. It is built for practical listening. Ray Lance and Pete Lance use each hour to talk through decisions that often sit at the edge of family life: Medicare, insurance costs, estate planning, funeral arrangements, aging parents, small business structure, veterans benefits, and charitable work. The pace is measured, and the tone is familiar rather than polished. A show can open with friendly correction about how long the program has been running, then move into Veterans Day, Marine Corps memories, awards, and free benefit assistance for veterans. Another episode can start with businesses and syrup, then get into invoices, business paperwork, corporate structure, and how owners create value in a company. The financial frame stays present, but it is not narrow. United Way of Greater New Bedford, Pride Month, local food businesses, insurance agencies, funeral homes, and Medicare guidance all become part of the same practical map. The show has a habit of letting people explain how their work actually functions. That gives it a useful texture. Guests are not just names on a segment sheet; they are asked about the paperwork, the service gaps, the volunteer labor, the care coordination, and the real reasons people delay decisions. Ray and Pete also leave room for teasing and family shorthand. A joke about volunteering in the Marine Corps or having a name misheard on a takeout order can sit right beside a serious conversation about parents getting older. That contrast is part of the appeal. The show feels made for people who want a steady guide through adult responsibilities, especially those at or near retirement. It is also for community-minded listeners who like hearing local organizations, small businesses, and service providers explain what they do. Money Wise with the Money Guys does not chase hot takes. It keeps returning to preparation, contact points, and the next sensible conversation.
Made for: Best for adults at or near retirement, families helping aging parents, and local business owners who want plainspoken guidance. It also fits listeners who prefer community interviews over abstract financial commentary.
What sets it apart: The show blends retirement planning with local service interviews, so Medicare, funeral planning, veterans support, Pride Month, and small business operations all sit in the same practical frame. Its strength is the neighborly handoff from personal story to useful next step.
