Is a fear of maths putting people off doing more with their finances? Over half the working population has the numeracy levels of a primary school child, and a third of adults say they actively avoid anything to do with numbers and data. To find out what can be done to change this, we’ve called in the big guns - mathematician and comedian Adam Spencer. 

Join Adam and our host, Emmanuel Asuquo, for a fun and fascinating chat about money and maths. Are we teaching maths all wrong? What effect is a cashless society having on children’s understanding of money? Can we make finance fun? Why are some infinities bigger than others? And was learning Pi a complete waste of time? 

Tune in for the answers and some mind-bending facts about numbers and the universe that might make you see maths differently.
