  • Audio Quality is terrible

    Content of the podcast is good. Hard listen however as the audio quality is just terrible - echoes, feedback, different audio quality between individuals talking, people breathing down their own mics etc etc

    makes it a hard listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What can help improve people's pensions in the UK?
Q: What about regulation and default fund design across countries?
Regulations should consider default fund design in relation to economic conditions and human capital risk, with smarter defaults that reflect individual earnings trajectories rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
What can help improve people's pensions in the UK?
Q: How can AI and technology help plug the pension gap globally, and what are the limits?
AI can personalise messaging and timing of saving prompts, enabling automatic escalation and more timely interventions, while digital platforms and blockchain can improve accessibility and administration; however, technology cannot fix low contributions—policy design must ensure adequate overall saving.
What can help improve people's pensions in the UK?
Q: Seda, what lessons can the UK draw from international experience of retirement savings?
The UK should focus on participation, adequacy, and inclusion, adopting smarter defaults that consider participants' life stages and human capital, and leveraging technology to personalize communication and broaden access for self-employed and low-income workers.
Why getting data right matters as much to journalists as to you
Q: What made you want to be a journalist?
Anesu explains she wanted to represent marginalized groups and uplift voices, and then developed an interest in data journalism at Goldsmiths to bring accuracy to stories and to highlight issues affecting Black women in childbirth, among others.
The double risk facing young people in Britain
Q: Now, thank you very much. Could you just introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about what are your goals when you graduate?
Lucy explains she is studying philosophy and languages at the University of Exeter, plans to graduate in July 2027, and aims to upskill through a master's degree or by becoming chartered to enhance her career prospects.
