09 January 2025

Following on from the growing popularity of previous seasons, Pepper Money has launched the fifth season of its podcast for mortgage brokers, The Specialist.

The latest season of the popular podcast, hosted by Rob Barnard, Intermediary Relationship Director at Pepper Money, will feature a variety of special guests discussing their experiences and critical topics from across the mortgage industry. The episodes explore the role of building societies, the challenges of first-time buyers, the importance of technology in mortgages, plus interests and passions outside the world of mortgages,

Guests for the fifth season include outgoing AMI Chief Executive, Rob Sinclair, in one of his final interviews in the role; Kelly McCabe, Managing Director at The Mortgage People; Neal Jannels, Managing Director at One Mortgage System, Pam Brown, owner of Pam Brown Mortgages and Paul Broadhead, Head of Mortgage & Housing Policy, Building Societies Association.

The Specialist podcast is available now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. The first episode was released on January 9th, with remaining episodes in the season released every Thursday thereafter.

Rob Barnard, Intermediary Relationships Director at Pepper Money, says: “I don’t think we could have ever predicted the popularity of The Specialist when we launched the podcast five seasons ago. Podcasts are a great medium to digest information, but it’s become a very crowded space, so to continue to attract so many listeners and such great guests is really exciting.

“It’s always been my mission to keep the podcast relevant and helpful, talking about real topics that are pertinent to brokers, with episodes that are short and punchy, informal but very informative. We’ve stuck to these principles for season five and we can’t wait to see what reaction we get for each episode.”
