Short Changed
Short Changed is the Intergenerational Foundation's new podcast series, where we speak to some of the UK’s leading experts about the issues that matter most to younger and future generations.
Across the series, we explore the policy challenges shaping young people’s lives today and the prospects of future generations tomorrow, from housing and democracy to taxation, student finance, and inheritance.
Short Changed builds on our previous podcast series, WhatIF?, which put young people’s voices at the centre of the policy debate.

In the first episode of this new series, Conor Nakkan explores the issue of student finance and higher education with Jim Dickinson, Associate Editor at WonkHE.
Jim says: "One of the things I constantly say is this system is like an onion. There are lots of layers. Every time you remove one, you're more likely to cry."
This complex subject has finally made headlines in recent months after years of campaigning from students and graduates, who have argued the system is not fair. Is that the case?
