Money Matters podcast

Helping young adults understand money and the economy

Overview

Money Matters is a podcast series designed to help young adults build confidence and improve their understanding around the financial and economic issues that shape their everyday lives.  

It brings Bank of England experts and external guests together for an unscripted, accessible, judgement-free conversation. They will discuss topics that young people say matter most to them – from managing debt, to understanding inflation and navigating the cost of living.  

Each episode has a different theme and offers practical insights grounded in trustworthy, impartial information.  

Episodes come out on the last Friday of each month and will be available on Spotify and all major podcast platforms, including YouTube Podcasts and Apple Podcasts.
