In a special epsiode, we hosted our first live podcast at our offices to celebrate a decade of discussing Britain’s personal finances.
Georgie Frost, Simon Lambert, Lee Boyce and Helen Crane talk through 10 years of huge and unexpected financial developments, from Brexit and President Trump to Covid and the cost-of-living crisis.
Some of our valued listeners were in the audience as we covered major themes that have erupted in our financial lives since 2014, including Liz Truss’s infamous ‘mini-Budget’, the rollercoaster property market – and whether we can truly say we have put the cost-of-living crisis in the rearview mirror.
In addition to looking at the bigger picture, we drilled into how these events have shaped our personal finances and affected our savings, mortgages, pensions, investments and aspirations.
‘Producing a podcast episode every week for a decade felt like something we should celebrate, so I was delighted to welcome our guests – and especially our listeners – to a 10th birthday celebration,’ This is Money publisher, Simon Lambert said.
‘Launching a podcast was a fairly unusual move a decade ago and it turned out to be a good idea and also hugely enjoyable for us.
‘We always wanted the podcast to make money engaging and accessible, help people improve their personal finances and enjoy the richer life that can bring.’
