ICR200: Past, Present & Future

ICR200: Past, Present & Future

14/04/2017 Posted by Martin Bamford Podcast 1 Comment

ICR200_ Past, Present & Future

Today’s episode is a big milestone, 200 episodes of this podcast.

I look back at some of the highlights of those past 200 episodes, and describe the evolution of this podcast during that time.

I also share a behind the scenes look at Informed Choice Radio; how do we actually produce three new episodes of this podcast each week?

And I talk about some plans for the future, the first time I’ve spoken about this publicly, what the future has in store for Informed Choice Radio.

Money article of the week

How Your Body Responds to a Financial Windfall from Investopedia

Random fact of the week

In what was generally considered to be the first recorded financial bubble, the Tulip Mania of 1636-1637 involved speculators inflating the price of tulip bulbs. By the peak of tulipmania in February 1637, a single tulip bulb was worth about ten times a craftsman’s annual income. The bubble subsequently burst and the Dutch economy was plunged into a mild economic recession which lasted for several years.

Inspirational quote

Our inspirational quote this week comes from James W. Frick, former vice president for public relations, alumni affairs and development at the University of Notre Dame, who said:

“Don’t tell me where your priorities are. Show me where you spend your money and I’ll tell you what they are.”
