| 3/31/26 | Paul Lewis – “My cautiousness cost me money!” | The whole Saga team and family is deeply saddened by the passing of Dame Jenni Murray, who had been the wonderful host of this podcast. This episode is one of two last interviews she had recorded with us, and with the permission of her family we are releasing them – as we believe Jenni would’ve wanted both to be seen and enjoyed by the public. In the first of these, Jenni spoke with award-winning financial journalist and Saga columnist Paul Lewis, who has been advising us on what to do with our money for more than 40 years. He’s hosted Radio 4’s Moneybox programme since 2000 and is the author of six books. In this episode, Paul told Jenni that having a career as a financial journalist was not on the cards; the greatest lessons he has learnt about money; why we need to start spending our money; and the weirdest place he has been recognised. It’s a fascinating episode, and Jenni brings out insights throughout with her signature warmth and curiousness. • Presented to you by Saga Boutique River Cruises.

| 3/10/26 | Prue Leith – On leaving Bake Off and finding love again at 70 | NEW SERIES: Award-winning Radio 4 broadcaster and Daily Mail columnist Jenni Murray discovers life lessons from living legends. Dame Prue Leith has lived an eventful life. She blagged her way into cookery school, built a Michelin-starred restaurant from scratch, wrote sixteen cookery books and eight novels, and spent nearly a decade of British summers in a marquee judging cakes on The Great British Bake Off. Along the way she turned herself into one of the most recognisable and outspoken figures in the country. In this episode of Experience is Everything, Prue sits down with Jenni to talk about why she walked away from one of the best jobs on television, the complicated love story that began when she fell for her mother’s best friend’s husband, and why she has become one of the most passionate advocates for legalising assisted dying. She also reflects on the unexpected joys of later life, and why falling in love in your seventies can feel surprisingly like being a teenager again. • Saga Insurance exclusively designed for people over 50.
