The penny drops podcast is here to help you understand your money and make better informed financial decisions.
In this monthly podcast series, we’ll cover the big personal finance topics such as savings, pensions, budgeting, debt, family finance, marriage and retirement – as well as other issues that money can have an impact on, like your mental health, physical health and the environment.
Each episode our host, presenter and broadcast journalist Andrea Fox (whose voice you may have heard announcing shows like Britain’s Got Talent on ITV), will be grilling financial experts and special guests to get the answers we’re looking for and tips that you can put into action.
