Hello, you're about to listen to a BBC podcast, so I'd like to tell you where you'll find more just like it.

I'm Izzy Lee Poulton, an assistant commissioner for BBC Sounds, which means I'm involved in the whole podcast making process.

Whether that's developing fresh formats or facilitating eye-catching artwork, I helped project manage all the details that make our podcast stand out.

At the BBC, we've got access to storytellers

and experts across a huge range of subjects. It could be psychologists, comedians, celebrities or

journalists. No podcasts or day looks the same here. So no matter what you like, check out BBC

We'll be releasing episodes on Mondays starting from the 24th of February.

There was a frenzy and a sense of greed

that I have not seen since in the markets.
