  • Brilliant advice and so passionate about his subject

    I’ve saved money, planned retirement and avoided pitfalls by following Martin’s advice of the years.

    Anyone who finds his passionate delivery too rapid can read the transcript or reduce the speed on playback!! I love him though.

  • Tear Your Hair Out

    I have to switch Martin off around the 2 min mark. Why?

On his presumably amusing 3 part question he puts Adrian Chills through he takes delight in the fact that the host only ... more

  • Great, but…

    Love to pod but I just couldn’t get over how frustrating Pauline was on the latest episode. I’m sure she probably does know her stuff and nothing against her personally, but her way of explaining things is so infuriatingly bad! Martin trying to get a complete answer out of her on anything felt like trying to get blood out of a stone. At best she only half answered each question and her replies sometimes didn’t really match the question at all, or were based on assumptions that weren’t accurate t... more
