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 this first episode from the Intergenerational Foundation, Alisa Anwar is joined by students (Rhiannon Woolford and James Main) and a Professor of Economics at Manchester Metropolitan University Business School (Dr Kevin Albertson) to dissect the complex world of university tuition fees and loans. How do students feel with the transition to online learning? Are they getting their money’s worth? What was the government response to student uprisings and petitions? Is there a better alternative system?
