BBC sounds music radio podcasts.
Hello, I'm Martin Lewis and this is the cunningly named the Martin Lewis podcast.
I do wonder what that's going to be about now.
Usually much of it comes from my BBC Radio five live show with Adrian Chiles.
Yes, it's a new series we've moved slot and it's now with the West Brom bombshell himself.
But don't worry, there's bonus money saving tips just for you lucky, lucky podcast listeners too.
In today's pod, the big subject, energy bills are going to rise 10% on the 1 October.
So should you fix now?
Spoiler for many, yes.
And can you cut the cost of standing charges?
Spoiler for many.
Yes.
We talked too about the winter fuel payments and pension credit.
Then there's a warning for everybody who pays council tax bills.
Plus, in the tellers, it's all about the fact that the price of a first class stamp is rising again by 30 p on the 7 October.
So we want to know how much you've saved in the past by stocking up on stamps.
Some people have made literally thousands of pounds.
I've got tips on how to get free Coca Cola and a 70 pound trip to Paris.
And it's Adrian's first money mastermind, which I'm going to use as a way to tell you about a new 175 pounds of free cash.
You can get in time for Christmas by switching bank.
