  • Just the man monologuing.

    Don’t know why they even have a woman on the cover. If she ever actually speaks - it’s like she‘s just there to make the man feel intelligent.

  • No thanks

    Decent subjects covered but anything that comes out of The Mail just isn’t worth serious attention.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What next for interest rates and how bad will it get for mortgages?
Q: What does a gilt mean, and how do government bonds work as an alternative to savings?
GILTS are UK government bonds that pay a fixed coupon; their prices move in the market, which affects the yield. They can offer high, tax-efficient income and potential capital gains if bought at a discount, with tax-free gains on some purchases, making them an attractive alternative to cash for some savers.
Should you worry about flights being cancelled and jet fuel shortages?
Q: What should listeners do to protect themselves when flights are disrupted by jet-fuel shortages or war-related travel risk?
Listeners should understand their rights for rebooking or refunds, consider booking on a card that offers Section 75 protections, check insurance terms for coverage of acts of war or conflict, and keep an eye on airline communications for rescheduling options while staying flexible with travel plans.
Should you worry about flights being cancelled and jet fuel shortages?
Q: There are lots of reasons why this might happen. So we don't have to go through them all, but what are kind of the main issues? Give us a few more tools in our box as our to get our money back.
Key options include demanding an alternative flight at the earliest opportunity or a refund from the airline, requesting to be rebooked on a different airline if the original cannot accommodate, and using credit-card protections or travel insurance to cover costs, with refunds typically promised within seven days.
Bonus interview: Why we need a campaign to get people investing
Q: What does success look like for this campaign in the short, medium, and long term?
Short-term success means a shift in attitudes and more conversations about investing; medium to long-term success would show more people investing and reducing the amount held in cash over time.
Bonus interview: Why we need a campaign to get people investing
Q: What stops people from investing, and how does the campaign address these barriers?
Fear of losses and information overload are key obstacles; the campaign offers signposts, basic information, and a candid emphasis on starting small and talking about money to normalize investing.
