You are about to listen to a BBC podcast and I'd like to tell you a bit about what goes into making one.

I'm Sadata Sese, an assistant commissioner of podcasts for BBC Sounds.

I pull a lot of levers to support a diverse range of podcasts on all sorts of subjects,

relationships, identity, comedy, even one that mixes poetry, music and inner city life.

So one day I'll be helping host develop their ideas, the next fact-checking, a feature,

and the next looking at how a podcast connects with its audience, and maybe that's you.

So if you like this podcast, check out some others on BBC Sounds.

Hello, there's a rush to protect the family finances ahead of the budget with parents paying into junior ices or giving away cash gifts.

But what is the best way to build a solid financial future for the children in your life?

Is it practicing with pocket money, opening savings accounts, or teaching good habits ready for

when they leave home? There's also millions of pounds in child trust funds going unclaimed. So there's

a lot to think about, and that's what we're doing in this Moneybox Live podcast. I'm

joined today by two experts who can answer any question you have about kids. As long as it is

financial, we don't pretend to have the answers when it comes to eating veg. Before we meet

them, though, I wanted to find out what the day-to-day experience of cash is for kids. Figures

from Nat West suggest around a third of parents still give traditional

pocket money. The going rate, in fact, is just under £4 a week. So what exactly are they spending

it on? I went to rugby in Warwickshire to find out. Holly, and I'm 11 years old. Did you get pocket

money? Yes, I get £5 a week and my younger brother gets two. Sometimes I save it. I try to keep my money balanced.

Are you good at saving?

Um, I would say I'm not the best, but I can save when I like know what I want.
