  • 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has been diminished by the excessive delay in the release of material to the platform, often making its content so far out-of-date as to be no longer relevant.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

  • Sadly out of date here

    I used to listen to Moneybox but unfortunately I’ve stopped since the BBC introduced the delay before releasing episodes anywhere except BBC sounds. I don’t want to have to switch between different apps so, sadly, the number of BBC podcasts I listen to has reduced a lot.

    It’s a real shame because I always used to feel that the Radio 4 podcast output alone was worth the licence fee. It’s not, however, worth inconvenience.

  • Out of date by the time the podcast appears

    I used to listen to this every week. But the podcast feed now only has episodes a month after broadcast - you have to use BBC Sounds to get them on the day. I can’t be bothered switching apps for different podcasts so I only hear Money Box now if I happen to have radio4 on at the right time.
