0:04.6 | Hello and welcome to the cunningly named The Martin Lewis Podcast. |
0:08.8 | I do wonder what that's all going to be about. |
0:10.7 | Now, some of this podcast comes from my Radio 5 live show with Adrian Charles, |
0:14.4 | but don't worry, there's also lots of special bits just for you lucky, lucky podcast listeners. |
0:19.3 | In today's pod, interest rates are dropping and saving |
0:22.3 | rates sadly following suit. So I'm leading on a savings Q&A about how to make every penny work as |
0:28.5 | hard as it can, including easy access fixed and regular savings, cash isas, lifetime isis, |
