Noise Cancelling with Neil Woodford
Noise Cancelling is a weekly podcast featuring Neil Woodford’s take on the real forces driving markets, long-term returns and investor behaviour.

We explore:
- Neil Woodford’s investment thinking
- Global market trends and macro shifts
- Where investors are being distracted by noise
