  • Sneaker Millionaires

    20 year olds are making millions from their bedrooms from buying and selling the latest trainers, and even programming online bots to jump queues for the latest kicks.

    And for perhaps the only time in history, Faarea's hometown of Coventry steps into the limelight when eBay vice-president Rob Hattrell tells us the city has the highest number of eBay millionaires... Why?

  • Challenger Banks

    To kick off the series, AATM tackles challenger banks. These new, digital banks are competitors of larger well known banks, and Rahat is rooting for them. Faarea, however, doesn’t need a convenient app to show her how much money she’s haemorrhaging nor is she on board with Revolut’s business model and work culture.

    Featuring a discussion with co-founder of Monzo, Jonas Templestein, this episode looks at the hows and whys of challenger banks, and whether they’re here to stay.
