Centris Federal Credit Union’s (centrisfcu.org) podcast, A Penny or Two for Your Thoughts, has received the Golden Ear Podcast Award (GEPA) for best educational podcast.

Since the first episode aired in 2022, A Penny or Two for Your Thoughts has aimed to demystify financial concepts for everyday listeners. The hosts, Chantel Windeshausen, Vice President of Marketing at Centris, and Liz Malmberg, Senior Marketing Specialist at Centris, are both moms and marketers who are newer to the financial industry; they bring a unique perspective by asking the questions that many are too hesitant to voice or don’t know who to ask. With a format that includes interviews with local experts, each episode is designed to inform and entertain, often infused with humor and personal anecdotes.

“We are thrilled to receive this award for Centris,” said Windeshausen. “Our goal has always been to create a space where listeners can gather great insights and tips to take with them on their financial journey. Receiving the accolade as the best podcast in the GEPA education category showcases the podcast’s significant impact on those looking for financial guidance.”

“We started this podcast as another way to meet people where they are and help educate them on all things financial, no matter where they are in their financial journey. This award validates our approach and is a testament to the knowledge and expertise our financial experts at Centris have and our dedication as an organization to improving financial literacy in the communities we serve,” said Malmberg.
Listeners can tune in to A Penny or Two for Your Thoughts on various platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
