RNZ Money Correspondent Susan Edmunds wants to demystify money and personal finance with her new weekly podcast No Stupid Questions with Susan Edmunds.
During her career as a financial journalist, Edmunds has often started interviews with "sorry this might be a stupid question, but…", and the podcast gives listeners the opportunity to ask those questions too - every week she'll find answers to listener-submitted questions to help us all understand money better. *

The first episode, out today, explains what GDP is and how tomorrow's new GDP figures matter to consumers. Susan also begins a series about how we can make more money and answers a question about pizza and hidden taxes.
Also launching is Money with Susan Edmunds, a weekly newsletter sent on Wednesday afternoons covering all the things that affect how we make, spend and invest money. The first issue is out Wednesday 24 September.
RNZ's Head of News Mark Stevens says Edmunds is brilliant at translating complex finance information into straightforward language, a skill that means her stories are frequently amongst the most popular of the day.
"She has a brilliant knack for finding the stories that are relevant to New Zealanders and has been a popular addition on Morning Report every weekday. The podcast and newsletter expand the places where Susan's content will be, making it even more accessible to different audiences.
The first episode of No Stupid Questions with Susan Edmunds is out today - listen to it here. It will also be broadcast at 7:30pm on Mondays on RNZ National.
