  • I don't think that Mr. Dunt has anything useful to say.

    His understanding of the energy system is woeful and his ideas on electoral reform are no better.

    I love your other content.

  • Remainer guests touting 10 year old arguments is so boring

    Try and remember over half your listeners voted Leave - your most recent guest touting her book was boring. Republicans buy sneakers gents, don’t trash the podcast by being in your bubble now.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

I’ve Never Had a Salary. Here’s What I’ve Learned
Q: What are the economics of Edinburgh and free fringe versus paid venues for a performer?
Discussion covers venue splits, pay-what-you-want models, upfront costs, and the reality that many artists incur debt to pursue stages, balanced against the exposure and learning from the festival.
I’ve Never Had a Salary. Here’s What I’ve Learned
Q: Have you ever considered getting a traditional job or salary, and how did you stay on the path of self-employment?
He states he has never had a real job or salary, viewing entrepreneurship as the default path and prioritizing financial resilience and family timing over traditional security.
I’ve Never Had a Salary. Here’s What I’ve Learned
Q: How did you approach money when you started street performing and how did that evolve over time?
He explains living hand-to-mouth in his teens, learning to manage risk, and gradually building systems (like multiple bank accounts) to prevent financial pitfalls while chasing creative work.
⁠I Was 100% in a Global Index Fund Until I Realised This
Q: How did you calculate the target number for retirement?
The guest describes starting with the income needed to sustain the desired lifestyle, then testing withdrawal rates (including the 4% rule) and running Monte Carlo simulations to gauge how long the portfolio could last under variability, while also considering human capital and PensionCraft income as a buffer.
New Investors Should Hope for a Terrible Stock Market
Q: In the paper, what is the simplest way to explain the perfect contribution rate and perfect withdrawal rate to a general audience?
Contributing is the amount you put into your pension every year to reach a target, while withdrawal is how much you take out in retirement to last a lifetime; the study uses long historical data to estimate what those ideal rates would have been at different times.
