  • Essential listening

    This has become essential listening for me and should be for anyone trying to navigate cost of living pressures. Martin has a natural gift for breaking down complex financial issues and making them very understandable. Love his enthusiasm and energy too.

  • More Ego than content

    I listen to finance podcast as I enjoy the subject and want to learn, but this is awful.

    ML is just so smug, loves the sound of his own voice, thinks he is funny rather than the reality that it’s annoying. Oh, and the subjects are on repeat.

    You can randomly pick any 2-3 podcasts from the past years, and in there you will have heard everything he has to say just said differently.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Savers, can you use gilts to earn 8%? | Standing charge to be scrapped & budget preview
Q: What are the advantages and disadvantages of buying gilts through an ETF?
Wynn says gilt ETFs can be inexpensive and diversified, but may include maturities ranging from very short-term to decades away, so investors lose the certainty of a single gilt's maturity date and face greater market and interest-rate exposure.
Savers, can you use gilts to earn 8%? | Standing charge to be scrapped & budget preview
Q: Is a short-dated gilt held to maturity riskier than a savings account?
Wynn says the risk difference is very small if the gilt is held to maturity, but selling early can expose the holder to market-price changes. Gilts are investments rather than protected bank deposits.
Question Time: Do I pay tax if I sell on eBay? How to start a credit score? Plus, how a budget can change your life!
Q: I'm an additional rate taxpayer, and as we're rarely mentioned, what should I be aware of?
Lewis discusses the value of ISAs and Premium Bonds when savings interest is taxable, pension contributions, tax relief on charitable donations, marriage or civil partnership for sharing certain tax benefits, and EIS and VCT investments. He also suggests considering financial advice as assets grow.
Question Time: Do I pay tax if I sell on eBay? How to start a credit score? Plus, how a budget can change your life!
Q: For someone who had just moved to the UK, what would you advise for getting their credit score started?
Lewis suggests getting an overdraft facility without using it, registering to vote, and checking whether rent payments can be added to a credit file through a rental reporting scheme. He also recommends paying bills on time and considering a mobile contract or, once eligible, a credit-rebuild card.
Question Time: Will payrise mean I lose child benefit? I’m on tracker mortgage should I fix? How do I become you?
Q: Could I get a fixed-rate mortgage deal now while remaining on a tracker, then decide in five months whether to use it?
Lewis recommends exploring available fixed-rate offers as a possible safeguard against future rate rises. The caller can compare the offer with their tracker later and choose a better deal if rates improve, after checking any fees or early repayment penalties.
