What’s the key to productivity other than spending less time on Facebook?Are we really poorer than seven years ago and counting?How on earth will we ever pay off £2trillion of debt?Simon Lambert and Rebecca Rutt, of This is Money, join Georgie Frost, of Share Radio, in the studio for the This is Money Show podcast to try and answer all these questions and more.And if you’re all Autumn Statemented-out, there’s also some existential questions about Black Friday, a look at whether airport parking spaces really make good investments, and a Formula 1 car for the road that you can buy.It’s a fun show.
