Economic podcast production in Bolton
Making economics human
We believe economic understanding is a public good. Newman Finance Ltd explains cost-of-living pressure, interest rates and regional inequality with evidence, care and a clear North West perspective.
Our Bolton podcast company brings economists, scriptwriters and audio professionals together for UK economics media that people can use in real life.
Made in Bolton
Local detail gives national economic stories somewhere real to land.
Our story
From Wigan Road to the wider economy
Newman Finance Ltd began on Wigan Road, Bolton, with a simple editorial gap in mind: people needed economic analysis that respected their time and their intelligence.
“Clear economic storytelling starts with a real question, a source we can name and an answer that helps someone decide what to do next.”
01
The first series
A local voice for national numbers
Our early episodes connected household budgets and regional jobs to decisions made in Westminster and Threadneedle Street.
02
A wider brief
Commissioned production joins the work
Organisations now bring us research-heavy subjects that need a script, a human voice and careful audio editing.
03
The standard stays
Accessible analysis with local roots
Greater Manchester remains our reference point as we make programmes for households, business leaders and policy watchers across the UK.
Our editorial approach
Evidence first, jargon last
Good economic storytelling has a paper trail. It also has a pulse.
Numbers with meaning
We explain what a rate change means for a mortgage, why a regional figure moves and where the limits of a dataset sit.
Room for disagreement
Policy debates deserve fair treatment. We separate established facts from forecasts, opinion and political claims.
The people behind the microphone
Sharp questions. Human voices.
Our small team combines policy experience, scriptwriting and sound engineering. Together, we bring more than 20 years across economics and media.
