In this week’s episode, there’s a deep dive into first-time buyer savings, with a special focus on Lifetime ISAs (LISAs) and the now-closed but still widely held Help to Buy ISAs. Martin Lewis runs through the pros, pitfalls, and key differences between the schemes, including bonuses and withdrawal rules. Whether you’re saving for your first home or advising someone who is, this segment is packed with practical tips to maximise government support and avoid costly mistakes.

Martin unpacks a major shake-up to Shares ISA rules, with what it means for savers, investors, and anyone trying to grow their money tax-efficiently. He breaks down the proposed changes and whether you should be thinking differently about where you put your savings going forward.

In the Tell Us, Martin turns to listeners working in the travel industry—airlines, hotels, and beyond. Asking: what are the biggest mistakes holidaymakers make? From booking blunders and baggage errors to check-in timing and hidden costs, industry insiders share their top tips on how to travel smarter and smoother this summer.

Finally, in the Mastermind section, Adrian tackles a tricky consumer issue: who do you complain to if you used a claims firm for car finance and feel you were misled?

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 which letter of the alphabet is his favourite, how many marshmallows he can fit in his mouth at any one time, or have a very complicated question about your finances, email it to [email protected].
