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.
Usually much of it comes from my BBC Radio five live show with Nihal Arthur Naika, though that's presented this week by Nick Eardley.
But there's bonus money saving tips just for you lucky, lucky podcast listeners, too.
In today's podesthe, inflation has dropped to 2.3%.
But how will that impact mortgage and savings rates?
The energy price cap announcement is due this Friday.
The price is likely to be cut, but right now you can save more by fixing.
And today's big topic, how do you get maximum bang for your bucks?
Or barts?
Yes, it's all about cheap travel money.
I did want to talk about dongs, but some of you may get the wrong idea.
And the tellers this week is all about complaints.
What's the best way to complain?
How did you get the strongest results?
And a note.
When we recorded the show, there was heavy speculation that a general election may be about to be called.
So that comes up quite a few times, too.
Yet by the time you're listening, you likely know whether that did or didn't happen.
Shall we play the theme tune?
