consumerrights

On this week’s podcast, Martin talks about the importance of financial education in schools for young people, something he’s been campaigning on for a long time.

Martin also reacts to the budget from Chancellor Jeremy Hunt which included a campaign win on Child Benefit, and cuts to National Insurance.

He talks consumer rights and his experience with eBay telling him he should go to the manufacturer with a tech item he bought on the site that was faulty.

And there’s a surprise guest in the Martin’s Mastermind chair.

From iPhones and tractors to medical equipment, many products are designed to be unfixable by the average person. Host Roy Wood Jr. sits down with YouTuber and owner of the Rossmann Repair Group, Louis Rossmann, and Law Professor at the University of Michigan, Aaron Perzanowski to discuss how manufacturers limit customer’s repair options, the environmental impact of purchasing new products rather than repairing old ones, why it costs consumer’s more, and how the right to repair movement is hoping to fix this consumer issue. Original Air Date: April 18, 2023.
