The Martin Lewis Podcast

What’s next for interest rates and, more importantly, what does it mean for your money? Martin is joined by an economist to look ahead at where rates could be heading over the next year, before a mortgage broker helps turn the forecasts into practical advice. Whether you're saving, borrowing, remortgaging or weighing up your next financial move, they'll explain how changing rates could affect savings accounts, mortgages, loans and more.
Plus, in this week’s Tell Us, we hear your stories of the most expensive things you’ve bought and never used. From hairdryers gathering dust to hot tubs that became very pricey garden features, it's a chance to confess those purchases that seemed like a great idea at the time.
And finally, Martin may have jumped the shark with this week’s Mastermind. A question about savings unleashes his inner thespian, and let's just say he might have enjoyed the performance a little too much. The real challenge is deciding whether the acting helps explain the answer... or completely distracts Adrian Chiles from it.
