I have always learned from the way Steph explains finance so was looking forward to this podcast and then read the reviews and thought I may be disappointed.
I am really enjoying the content and delivery of this, typical Steph making it simple. Enjoying the balanced discussion between them, would recommend...
What a great start. Extremely concise, informative and interesting.
Who’d have thought these two presenters would work so well ! They bring unique representations to the table. Duration is perfect as analytically informative, energetic & honest, This podcast is what was missing in the news space. Good work,,,
I’ve really enjoyed the first 2 podcasts. The explanations of what is actually going on in the economy are excellent. I’m hoping they will also cover personal finance at some point? Maybe suggesting ways to save money etc in future episodes.
