Sam Gould is Nico and Darren’s guest this week and she turns up excited and genned up about how to behave. I’m pleased to see her thoughts and those of her companions are constrained to just over an hour!

Darren is running a session at the Raging Bull in Edinburgh on Tuesday and I’m sure it will be as outspoken as these podcasts have been of late.

I cannot say much about Sam’s pod other than listen to it if you are interested in how women can get a better financial deal.

I am not sure that this will be driven by auto-enrolment or NOW pensions but today being woman’s day, it is right to focus on Sam’s work and that of her employer.

I have to confess, there is no aspiration within me to be Cosmopolitan or glamorous. I do not pretend to be much interested in international women’s day but I am a fan of fairness and suspect that Sam is doing a good job.

I find it hard, despite having listened to all 63 minutes to understand how this can happen but I hope that she will be able to make her case to the Pensions Commission and the woman who is in charge of it. She is nobody’s fool.

It would seem that most things that Sam promotes end in a fine meal and festival and this seems a good way of living, so long as the dining is not at the expense of those who have too little.

I gave up alcohol 16 months ago so don’t do my celebrating in pubs and at awards ceremonies as they no longer have much attraction – poor that I am in health and in wealth.

But I’m delighted that Sam and Darren and Nico can celebrate properly and hope they had a virtual jar at the end of this podcast!
