You might already be vegetarian or buying fairtrade products; volunteering or cutting down on flying. But what if you could make your biggest impact simply by looking into where your money's invested? It's called impact investing, and helping us to understand what it is and how it can drive change are: Campaign Director for Make My Money Matter; David Hayman Partnerships Director at Huddlecraft and Lead for Money Movers; Anneka Deva PensionBee's Chief Engagement Officer; Clare Reilly.

Send us an email: podcast@pensionbee.com A fond welcome to the 15th episode of The Pension Confident Podcast. This time, we're discussing how financial institutions can be more inclusive of those who might be more vulnerable when it comes to their finances. ‘Levelling up' seems to be the buzz phrase of the moment. But what does that actually mean in practice? You may have fallen behind financially due to where you live, or maybe the system or service you're using just simply isn't designed for someone with your set of circumstances. That could be your ethnicity, religion, gender, age or something else entirely. Helping us to ‘level up' and discuss how we achieve financial inclusion are: CEO of Bloom Money; Nina Mohanty Head of Communications at the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS); Emma Barrow PensionBee's CDO; Matt Loft. Episode Breakdown: 01:53 When we've felt excluded 04:42 Who's likely to be financially excluded? 06:37 Those who choose not to use financial services 08:37 Accessibility to technology and in-person banking 14:29 Low credit scores 20:08 Low income and insurance 22:01 What the government and industry should do to help *We thought it would be helpful to highlight our sources for some of the key stats we mentioned in this episode: We say there are about 3 million Muslims living in the UK. According to the latest census, the actual number is 3.87 million. We say there are around 11,000 Post Offices in the UK. The precise number is 11,635. We talk about plans for 28 new ‘shared banking hubs'. There are actually plans to open 38 more of these. We were 1% off on the difference between the average amount in men's and women's pension pots. Our data shows that men have 39% more in their pots, on average, than women. Further reading: Need a little extra help to level up? Then check out these articles from PensionBee.

Whether you prefer to do that by yourself, with a partner or maybe even your children is up to you, because this month we talk all about how those relationships can affect your finances. No matter what your relationship status is, each one brings its own financial questions and challenges. Right now, you might be happy just concentrating on yourself. Perhaps you're cohabiting, or living with a friend or a sibling. You might be married or in a civil partnership. Or maybe you're separated, divorced, or widowed. From ‘singles tax', to prenups and wills - taking you through what you might need to think about as you experience these different relationships are: Personal Finance Expert and Blogger at This Girl Talks Money; Ellie Austin-Williams. Barrister, Mediator and Family Arbitrator, and a Spokesperson for free legal assistance charity, Advocate; Paul Infield. PensionBee's Director (VP) Public Affairs; Becky O'Connor.

We also say that the Marriage Act was in 1751, but we were a little early and it was actually released in 1753.

This week's Thought Starter discusses consumer psychology and the senses (touch, taste, smell, sight and sound) and how they impact our perception of the world.

This week's Thought Starter asks where does pain come from, what does it mean, and what effect does it have on our daily lives? Recorded live from The Pod at White City Place, our special Co-Host Sam Bompas of Bompas and Parr - the leading Architects of Taste: Feeding Minds and Stomachs, sits down with Linda Rodriguez McRobbie, writer and journalist, to explore the science of pain and how it ultimately affects our survival. Linda has recently launched her book titled 'Ouch! Why Pain Hurts, And Why It Doesn't Have To', which explores why pain is complicated. The way we treat pain is superficial – we seek out states of perfect painlessness by avoiding it at all costs, or suppressing it, usually with drugs. Through in-depth interviews, investigation into the history of pain and original research, the book paints a new picture of pain as a complex and multi-layered phenomenon.

And we jump into another pile of vile vinyl in "Silverman's Platter" that takes in a tour of 80's novelty music, a Cabbage Patch Dolls concept album and the jaunty tunes of one of the UK's most racist 70's comedians.

You demanded that it returned. You wanted this. After long last, it's back... We are returning to the ugly world of "Don't Get Mad" and this may be the most demented, twisted, hilarious one yet... But don't say we didn't warn you! In this long awaited episode, Paul & Eli go back to basics with a classic Tales from the Dancefloor (one that manages to break Eli), a revamped "Price of Shite" that goes down very well indeed and a super sour "Cheap Eats" too! It's stuffed with the usual CheapShow madness but with the added volatility of an "angered by toothache" Paul and a "ready to snap" Eli... It's definitely the most CheapShowy CheapShow to date and it may destroy your tiny little minds. Hold On Tight. CheapShow was recorded at "The Pod" at White City Place.

On the agenda: what makes for good domestic architecture, building a case for small town living, and a list of favourite homes around the world.

Looking at its listings feels more like looking at a design magazine, which is fitting because Albert Goldhill was design editor of Wallpaper* before co-founding The Modern House. Sophie Goldhill is the co-founder of the lauded architectural practice Liddicoat & Goldhill. Sitting down with Albert in the Pod, the two begin by talking about Albert’s one professional regret.
