Have you ever wondered how your friend bought that vacation home or why that colleague of yours makes everyone meticulously split the tab down to the last Diet Coke? Other People’s Pockets is a show about other people’s money. We ask people from all walks of life to get radically transparent about their personal finances in order to learn more about who we are and what makes us tick (and perhaps we level the playing field a little bit along the way?).

Customer Reviews
Superb!
Go Maya! A trusted journalist doing great work.
Smart
Good angle, well edited, timely. I’m listening.
Boring
I’ve listened to two episodes. They don’t focus on the actual money. And that’s what I thought this was going to be about.
