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.

Alisa Anwar is joined by Rent Strike coordinators (Meg Day and Charlie Keller), Bristol SU Student Living Officer (Ruth Day), students (Emily Cole and Kit Sinclair), and IF co-founder (Ashley Seager) to dissect the housing crisis among young people. With 46% of young people returning to live at home with their parents and housing prices soaring, what can be done? What IF we solved the housing crisis?
