This week's podcat is another solo special from Tom.

In this episode, he shares insights and opinions on the role of housing wealth in later life planning - all informed by his authorship of our latest report, House Rules.

Tom takes a close look at some of the reputational and structural issues that hold back the potential for equity release to fill an income gap for many pensioners today. He also gives inheritance tax a very hard stare...

There's an airing too for:

- The FCA's recent feedback statement on its joint call for input with The Pensions Regulator on the pensions consumer journey.

- The Department for Work and Pensions' current call for evidence on helping consumers understand their retirement choices.

You'll find this podcat, along with our back catalogue, wherever you normally get your podcasts. That includes Spotify, Google and more. You can also catch them here in Analyser.

Thanks for listening.
