42 分钟Martin’s off air for the next few weeks so it’s a chance to revisit some of the best bits of the year so far. He explains how you can buy voluntary National Insurance years to boost your state pension and why it can be so lucrative.

I do wonder what that's going to be about.
Now, we decided that what you really wanted during the summer was a whole host of best of podcasts sub techs.

When you talk as quickly as I do, that's quite important.
This episode is looking at the importance of buying national insurance shares to boost your state pension.
We've had some cracking tellers this year too, so here's another chance to hear when you prefer to buy cheap, whether it's sausage rolls or bog rolls.
