0:04.6	Hello, I'm Martin Lewis, and this is the cunningly named The Martin Lewis Podcast.
0:10.7	I wonder what that's going to be about.
0:12.8	Now, usually much of it comes from my five-live show with Nahal Arthaniaka,
0:17.2	though there are some extra special bits just for you, lucky podcast listener.
0:21.6	This week we're going to talk about consumer rights and wrongs, inflation, advice for your 18-year-old self, Dictionary Corner, the last mastermind of the year, and...
0:31.7	Is this the recipe for a perfect party? Cheap veg, premium bonds, and the pensions warning. No, it's clearly not, but they are my

1:39.0	that would attract perhaps a younger age demographic than normal. So that's why today's tell us, which has gone
