Download It’s Love Actuarially! Base interest rate cut help. And will you get £150 off energy bills?

Martin Lewis has a selection box of topics in this week’s podcast, including: the Bank of England has cut the base interest rate, what does it mean for your mortgage, savings, credit cards, and loans? It’s Love Actuarially as you tell us when you’ve received a random act of financial kindness. The government’s taking £150 off energy bills, so Martin explains how it will work – especially if you’re on a fix. Plus, Mastermind is all about representative APR, and should you open expensive Christmas presents early?

If you want to ask Martin a question, you now can! His Question Time podcast lets you ask Martin absolutely anything and everything (within reason!). So if you’ve always wanted to know his favourite colour, if he can move his eyebrows independently or not, or have a very complicated question about your finances, email it to MartinLewisPodcast@bbc.co.uk.
