In the first of our Explainer Pods, we're taking on a big subject - money! Our first guest is Dr Ed Poole, who leads the Wales Fiscal Analysis team at the Wales Governance Centre and takes on the mighty challenge of explaining how - and why - Wales's finances are the way they are, where the problems are, and what could be done to fix them.

On our next pod Laura, Lauren, and Lee will look at the other side of the equation and what political decisions the different parties might take to change the status quo for the better.
