Never mind the B*****, here's the other financial stuff: This is Money podcast

Updated:
Can you do a financial podcast and not mention the Budget right now? No, not really.
But you can give it a good shot at keeping B***** chat to the minimum.
On this week's podcast, Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert take a breather from talking about Rachel Reeves and the endless cycle of madness that is the Budget 2025 build up to discuss some other stuff.
Can they get through it without mentioning the Budget anymore than five times? Listen to find out.
First up it's interest rates. Why did the Bank of England hold, will there be a cut next month and how far will they fall? Plus, how have rate expectations shifted and where exactly do mortgage borrowers and savers stand now?
Next, it's house prices. Leading estate agent Savills says property values are due to rise 22 per cent in five years, but is that a lot or a little - and could homes actually be getting cheaper?
Lee explains why savers are stashing so much cash and Simon sounds a clarion call for moving your money out of insult accounts.
Then via a quick diversion, avoiding sneaky speed cameras, it is on to the turf war. Is it ever okay to consider artificial grass and what will it do to your house price?
And listen to the end for the B***** mentions score.
