LOS ANGELES — Outside the Dollar, the weekly precious-metals podcast from Lear Capital, ended August ranked No. 15 on Apple Podcasts' Business Investing Top 200 chart, about four months after its April launch. Lear Capital announced the milestone on October 8. The show is produced with Mato.
According to Lear Capital, Outside the Dollar has recorded roughly 40,000 downloads since its debut and now averages close to 10,000 downloads per month.
A 15-minute briefing, every Friday
Outside the Dollar publishes every Friday morning. Each episode runs about 15 minutes and covers gold, silver, and the economic forces shaping the U.S. dollar and financial markets.
Lear Capital's team researches and writes every episode. Elena Reyes, an AI host on Mato, narrates it. The show had released 23 episodes at the time of the announcement and is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
Lear Capital credits the climb to steady weekly output, with downloads building across the show's first five months on a consistent Friday schedule and a short briefing format, and with no single viral episode behind it.
“We built Outside the Dollar to give listeners a clear, 15-minute read on what's moving gold, silver, and the dollar each week, without the noise that surrounds a lot of financial media. Climbing into the top 15 on Apple's investing chart this early tells us there's real appetite for that kind of straightforward, regular context, and we plan to keep delivering it every Friday.”
John Ohanesian, Chief Executive Officer, Lear Capital

How the show is made
Lear Capital keeps the research, the script, and editorial control of each episode. Mato's AI host narrates the script, and the platform handles editing and distribution, so the team's time goes into the market commentary.
“Lear Capital's team decides what the show says, and it has shown up every Friday since April. A chart position like this one is built a week at a time.”
Alexander Benz, co-founder and CEO of Mato
