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has been diminished by the excessive delay in the release of material to the platform, often making its content so far out-of-date as to be no longer relevant.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  • Sadly out of date here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

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Money Box Live: Autumn Budget 2025
Q: Was there any announcement on inheritance tax and that seven-year gifting rule?
There was no change to the seven-year gifting rule, which is a relief for those looking to pass assets through to the next generation.
Money Box Live: Autumn Budget 2025
Q: How do people pay tax on state pension if they end up moving into the threshold?
People pay tax through a system called simple assessment, where HMRC calculates their tax based on information from employers and pension providers.
Cash ISA Change and Carers Allowance
Q: So what happens, how do you feel if you're a nursery worker working two days a week to get a few pennies in, earning $13,000?
It's frustrating as it seems unfair that pensioners receive advantages that aren't extended to low-paid workers.
Cash ISA Change and Carers Allowance
Q: How much harder will that make things?
It will make it tremendously harder for low earners who will be paying more tax due to the freeze.
Life-changing Scams and Child Benefit
Q: What more do you think needs to be done then?
There should be effective public campaigns to raise awareness about the risks of fraud and increase trust in reporting it.
