The latest episode of the This is Money podcast explores where savers and investors are putting their cash as the Individual Savings Account season reaches its peak. The team reveals the bestselling stocks and shares accounts for 2026 and discusses how much money is flowing into cash accounts, even before recent market turbulence linked to the Iran conflict.

The programme also highlights fresh warnings about Britain's midlife pensions crisis, explaining that it is not too late for savers to strengthen their retirement funds. The hosts share practical guidance and key rules of thumb to help listeners build a solid pension pot.

Elsewhere, the episode looks at McDonald's new trading card promotion, with some rare cards already being resold online for large sums. In a light-hearted experiment, five experts each attempt to turn £500 into £10,000 through different methods including betting, cryptocurrency, stock picking, furniture trading and second-hand fashion sales, competing even against a monkey making random share selections.
