At bonkers.ie our focus is on helping consumers save money. We also provide news and expert opinion from the world of personal finance and consumer affairs.
But some stories can't be summed up in a tweet or a blog post. Some stories are a little more complex and deserve more time and focus. So that's why we started our podcast!
Each month we discuss recent news and events and how it might impact on your pocket.
We'll have comment, analysis, debate, as well as interviews with guest experts. And we’ll have the odd competition too.
We hope you enjoy listening.
