Making Money Podcast
Hosted by Making Money
A UK-based guide to personal finance, demystifying investing, pensions, and the economy for those who feel they missed out on financial education.
This is a practical UK finance show that blends actionable advice (investing, pensions) with deeper dives into the systems and psychology that shape personal wealth. It uses expert interviews and personal stories to explore not just how to build wealth, but also the economic and political forces at play, and the human cost of financial mistakes like gambling addiction.
“The show uniquely pairs a finance expert (Damien) with an everyman proxy (Timeyin), creating a relatable dynamic. It stands out by connecting granular personal finance topics with macro-economic discussions and featuring a red "jargon" buzzer to ensure concepts are always clearly explained.”
