Martin spoke to financial journalist Rodney Hobson about the history of scams, how modern technology makes it easier to be scammed, and why sophisticated investors are just as likely to fall victim.

Jon Beckett, affectionately known in the industry as ‘JB’, has long been an outsider of the City. He chats to Martin in this episode about the life of a professional fund selector, the relevance of human fund selection in an increasingly digital world, using liquid alternative investments in the current economic environment, and the danger of super tanker funds.

In the weekly episode of Informed Choice Radio, Martin talks about solving the biggest problem with living longer. There’s also a roundup of the latest personal finance news.
