See the look of surprise on Marks (big boss producer) face as he is interviewed on camera about what he has learnt from three years of doing the podcast and discover why he wants a Viking funeral. 

And we end, as always with an exciting entry in the Quid Game hall of fame – this time titled “Out of Context Jo”, where we learn the important advice: don’t stick a frozen potato up your bum and why Cathi would make the best Chancellor of the Exchequer. 

• Tips on free activities to do in the sunshine (please read this with Liam Gallagher’s pronunciation: sunsheeeeeeinnnnne), you’ll be surprised with the amount of activities Jo will partake in as long as it has a 90s brit pop soundtrack… 
• A discussion on how much of your monthly income could be taken up by childcare (HINT – it’s a lot more than you think) 
• The trauma of current petrol prices 
• A detailed look at flexible working, how it has given more choice to working people, especially women. Also considered the point of view of a company and how they can weigh the needs of their employees with the needs of the business 
• For quotes such as “I don’t know what type of tree that is, but I know it’s not a bush” 
• Some thoughts on finance decisions for the 45-55 age range, should they be starting a pension now? Listen to find out. 

There is also a lovely chat with Emilie Bellet, founder of Vestpod - a thriving community with a mission to help people, and in particular women, achieve financial independence.  

So, listen in to find out whether Cathi and Jo make it back to the office after their walk to the unknown and see if Nat can find them after their random series of directions. Enjoy the sunshine! 

In a brilliant interview with our guest Phil Zeidler from life insurance provider, DeadHappy, we take a turn into ‘The Venn Diagram of Tabooness’ (thanks Jo) – namely death and money.  It’s a hard subject to talk about, but DeadHappy has turned insurance on its head by talking about ‘Death Wishes’ instead of insuring a life, making the concept simple, tangible and straightforward. Who doesn’t want to have a bronze statue of themselves in the front garden after they die?

In this special episode of That Mint Podcast, we listen back to Steven's session from Evolution. It's full of surprises and important questions from Cathi - such as 'is a hotdog a sandwich?'.

In this episode, we learn all about Jo’s year of experiences and Cathi finds an article saying 2/3 of people’s Covid savings have been spent, which starts a conversation about what saving is actually for - or what spending is good for.

Listen out for a voice usually behind the scenes, as our producer, Mark, checks in with Naina and her house-buying journey and find out why she was left feeling gazumped... oh the drama!

Our guest in this episode is Graham Taylor from Hudson Rose, who tells us all about he 'fell into finance' and his quest of changing the perception of the mortgage advisory industry one colourful mohawk at a time.

To finish up, Jo and Cathi play the alphabet game in a marathon Quid Game.

The news that babies born in 2022 will have an average life expectancy of around 90 odd years has Cathi and Jo thinking. What age do they think they will make it to? What will they be doing? How much will a Freddo cost by then?! Listen as they brainstorm some ideas for creating recurring income to top up their pensions – how hard is it to write a Christmas song anyway?

Plus, we hear from Naina, who's recently embarked on the journey to buying her first home. Cathi and Jo go through the process with Naina and ask her for top tips when it comes to purchasing your first home, whilst asking the question: is renting a waste of money?

Fancy watching the live recording? Head over to the link below to see the ladies lovely faces in action.

Happy viewing and see you soon for season three! https://youtu.be/tTS-CL928KA

Summer holidays have finally arrived, which means vacancies for summer jobs are now available and Cathi and Jo take a trip down memory lane and chat about what jobs they did when they were younger (you would have never guessed them). We also have a lovely chat with Iona Bain and her rise to fame in the financial world. This episode is not one to be missed!

As well as getting emotionally invested in Johnathan the 189 year old tortoise, the ladies are talking all things financial education, the importance of making it accessible to the younger generations, and even chat with the lovely Jessica Crawford from Informed Financial Planning about her favourite emojis - and much more, we promise!

Plus we have an exciting interview with the lovely Ola from All Things Money that you don't want to miss!

This episode is the first of our brand new format, (what do you think?!) and delves deep into the changes around interest rates and the direction in which they are heading to initiate customer spending. Cathi and Jo both discuss the control that the Bank of England has on customer spending by increasing and decreasing interest rates, and Jo gives us a lesson on why just printing more money doesn’t help!

We'd love to hear your thoughts, and as always, if you could rate, review, share, and subscribe, we'd be super grateful! Especially if you listen on the iPodcasts (as Jo calls them!)

To celebrate That Mint Podcast coming so far in so little time (view our 'half birthday' highlights here), Cathi and Jo stocked up on wine, invested in a bleep button, and sweet-talked the producers into going live for this special video episode.

Amongst slightly more chaos than usual, they talk rising pension ages, inflation, and finance media annoyances - as well as giving mostly insightful (and sometimes inevitably humorous) answers to listener questions.

Join us for a look and laugh at highlights including everything from our infamous compound interest illustration to favourite guests and somewhat less relevant favourite nursery rhymes!

This episode's stories take us to Italy, France and beyond, and this whistle-stop world tour of mortgages also addresses worries surrounding the current market, with further insight added by Luke.

Amongst ever so slightly too much window talk, discover why a COVID/Survey sandwich doesn’t taste very nice and why checking for Japanese knotweed is the least of your worries.

Join Cathi, Jo (and our lovely guest Abbie Knight) for another episode of all singing all, dancing finance fun!

With some intimidating stats around the cost of children hitting the news recently, Cathi and Jo tackle one of the toughest, most unpredictable decisions and question whether you can apply logic to every life choice.

It used to be that a 25-year mortgage was the longest financial commitment a person could make, but with many grown up children still comfortable at home is this still the case? Jo is certainly starting to wonder whether parenthood and Pringles will turn out to be her biggest long-term outlay…

This ain’t no disco. This ain’t no pyramid scheme either. (This is FCA…approved.)  

Along the way Jo reveals the riskiest thing she’s ever done for an ice cream, and Cathi puts her mathematical mind against the roulette wheel.

And finally we get some pro-tips from Lee, an experienced investor and Asset Manager, who - contrary to all those stereotypes - is a warm, funny and down-to-earth guy.

It’s a topsy-turvy episode, for a topsy-turvy world. Leave your expectations at the door…

Celebrating Meaningful Money's 10th birthday, we talk all things finance and weigh up the difficulties and the enjoyment of doing a financial podcast.

Yes, it's the beloved topic of savings, that everyone knows is important, but most avoid talking about. Guest this episode is Brendan Shanks from Husky Finance, who joins in the chaos to talk workplace pensions, and his jargon-free description of auto-enrolment

They also question how easy it is to start your own bank.. you might see That Mint Bank coming to a high street near you soon! 

For more information, check out Cathi's latest blog too!

Through forcing Jo to write a will, this episode will look at the answers to these cheery questions and discuss what you need to do to be ready for death, (as always, with some light hearted humour to make it a little less morbid!)

This episode includes an interview with Rob Kingsbury, talks about people’s worst financial mistakes and asks an incredibly important question involving Transformers…

This episode is also a chance to find out a bit more about the hosts of That Mint Podcast. Plus, there’s a few pirate facts. Obviously.
