Anonymous. Honest. Real. Callers talk to the Money Medics about their private financial dilemmas and help shed some light on that most taboo topic: money. They’ll cover the topics everyone wants to hear about, but that no one wants to discuss, like money in relationships, the stigma of renting and how claiming benefits really feels.

Have you ever played the National Lottery? If so, you may be one of over 45% of people in the UK who try their luck every month. That’s nearly half of the country! But, not everybody stops with the National Lottery - for others gambling becomes an essential part of their lives, an addiction that they begin to hide from their loved ones as it spirals...
In this emotional story, an anonymous interviewee shares his story of gambling addiction. At his lowest, he hid his debt from his partner, borrowed money from friends and turned to payday loans to make ends meet. In this candid episode, he tells us how it all started, the impact of lockdown and we discuss how much addiction can cost as well as the signs to look out for.
