  • Constantly delayed / Out of date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.

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