Japan FM Network Co., Ltd. (JFNC) will sequentially begin broadcasting its new program 'Money Talks' on JFN affiliated stations starting April 2026.
Amid rising prices and growing anxieties about the future, many people express concerns about money but don't know where to start. This program is a 5-minute radio program designed to help listeners effortlessly and clearly organize their everyday financial questions and anxieties.
The navigator is Ayako Iguchi, who works as both a talent and a business owner. She will host the program as a "learner" from the same perspective as the listeners. Michiko Izumi, representative of the Children's Environmental and Economic Education Laboratory and involved in numerous economic education activities and book supervisions, will serve as the supervisor, carefully explaining topics such as household finance management, asset building, taxes, and working styles from an expert perspective.
By conveying often-difficult financial topics in language that resonates with daily life, the program aims for "knowing" to become an opportunity to expand future choices.
