“I started listening to Frances’s podcast last year and was immediately hooked. She delivers financial information in a way that makes you feel as though you’re having a natter with a friend over coffee.

“Warm and well informed presenter, who knows how to conduct an interview (unlike 95% of podcasters) Great topics for people wanting to have a better understanding of their money. Easy, informal language for those who are not finance experts.”

“Financial literacy isn’t the easiest subject to understand or discuss, thanks Frances for tackling these subjects head on and getting to the point in these snappy pods! Money talk needs to be normalised, cheers for taking us on that journey! Jess”

It's a great podcast for anyone who wants to stay across the stuff that matters when it comes to money in New Zealand. Frances is a great journalist who knows how to ask...”Read full review »

“I find myself (like thousands of others) having to look for a new job, having received notice of redundancy in my early 50s, in an industry that's going to remain dormant for the next year or so.
I thought the tips here were supportive and simple and really helpful. Thank you so much. Now,...”Read full review »

“There isn’t a lot of financial education in NZ. Studies say the biggest difference between rich and poor is agility for long term planning. Every kiwi should be listening to this to plant the seeds for long term financial plans in their life. Good, sound advice from someone who started out where...”Read full review »

“I love the content of these podcasts but I nearly always struggle to hear male interviewees over road noise when I’m driving, and that’s with my phone hooked up to my car’s audio system. And my car doesn’t make much road noise. I don’t have this problem with other podcasts. Maybe try adding a...”Read full review »

“So all I got from the housing market podcast was if your young your pretty much stuffed. Oh but wait there’s KiwiSaver and first home buyers grants. Too bad they put an income cap on those as well as a cap for the price of the house you can buy. Why not talk about new builds which aren’t...”Read full review »
