Welcome to the This is Money with Georgie Frost, Editor Simon Lambert and assistant editor Lee Boyce Coming up on this week’s show…the pound.

Welcome to This is MoneyBall, the podcast about what happens off the pitch. As it’s the European Championships this week, Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce go back to school – and talk about hockey. On last week's episode, the pair explored one year to the Tokyo Olympics from the boxing perspective.
