  • Constantly delayed / Out of date

    I have find a recent month the feed for Money Box seems to be constantly delayed on Apple Podcasts.

    As an example in December, we have had several podcasts reference Rachel Reeves upcoming budget, with a podcast on the 24th of December dissecting her budget.

    This is despite the budget occurring one month earlier.

  • Topics good but way too chatty and questions like "how did it make you feel?" just add nothing to the actual story. Be more specific and be succinct.

  • Too late!

    I’ve been a keen listener of Moneybox for many years and a firm fan of the Apple Podcast format with all my favourite content available in one place.

    In recent times, my enjoyment has been diminished by the excessive delay in the release of material to the platform, often making its content so far out-of-date as to be no longer relevant. I can understand a day or two after the show is first aired, but a month!?

    As a consequence, I no longer subscribe to the show which is a shame, as the con... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Claims management inquiry and bank account switching
Q: What should consumers do if they receive unsolicited claims-management offers?
Complain to the appropriate authorities (Ombudsman, ICO, or Advertising Standards Agency) and verify legitimacy using FCA resources or their lender if already dealing with car financing.
Claims management inquiry and bank account switching
Q: How long do FCA inquiries typically take to report and what is the timeline for potential change?
Historically, these inquiries take 18 months to two years to report, with robust action potentially following, and changes in law possibly not happening until 2029 at the earliest.
Renters and Landlords: Your Questions Answered
Q: Can landlords still evict to sell the property after May 1?
Yes, landlords can evict to sell under legitimate grounds, but not with the same ease as before; the reform introduces stricter rules and the potential for longer processes and vacancies.
Renters and Landlords: Your Questions Answered
Q: What happens to student tenancies in July?
Student tenancies convert to periodic tenancies and students can give two months' notice; timing and cyclical nature of the student market is a key concern.
Renters and Landlords: Your Questions Answered
Q: Will the reforms replace existing tenancies?
Yes, fixed-term tenancies will convert to rolling periodic tenancies automatically from May 1, with two months' notice for tenants and the option for shorter notice if agreed in writing.
