Podcasts about money

I've dedicated May to getting my personal finances in check.  Here are 3 of my favourite podcasts about money.

 1. Cooking the Books with Frances Cook
This is a bitesize podcast, never longer than about 15 minutes, in which Frances Cook tackles financial issues topical in New Zealand such as the impact of politics on our investments and the pros and cons of being a first home buyer.
2.  The Pineapple Project
Claire Hooper hosts this great podcast which features different aspects of money, e.g. How to plan a wedding without going broke and You need an emergency fund.  Fun and full of useful information.

'Why pineapples? Because like money, they can be sweet. But they’re also a prick to deal with if you don’t know how to handle them.'


3. Bad With Money
Gaby Dunn is Bad with Money.  I'm only 3 episodes in and so far she's questioned her parents about money (turns out they're Bad with Money too), seen a financial psychologist and hidden her credit card bill from her boyfriend.

 I like her casual way of addressing some of the bigger financial issues.

Wellington is a wonderful city and has the best cafes to start your day the right way.  Here are 3 of the best! 1.  The Hangar The Hangar is the flagship café of Flight Coffee, who produce amazing coffee while always aiming to have the best impact they can on the industry.  Located in an airy space on Willis Street, come for the coffee but definitely stay for breakfast.  The granola was simply amazing! Granola from the Hangar 2. Nikau Cafe Tucked away in Civic Square this cafe is not the easiest to find, but is worth getting lost for!  Open from 7am on weekdays (8am on the weekends), you have the option to build your own breakfast starting with eggs and adding on anything from bacon to kimchi!  Delicious with a lovely vibe. 3.  Seize Seize is all about clean eating, and who could have known that waffles could be so healthy?  With lots of vegan options, including delicious brownies, Seize really is a treat.
