  • Constantly delayed / Out of date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has been diminished by the excessive delay in the release of material to the platform, often making its content so far out-of-date as to be no longer relevant.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

Renting in Retirement and Wildlife Bank Notes
Q: Why are the new notes featuring animals instead of historical figures?
Public consultation favored animal imagery for its resonance and security potential, with the governor ultimately deciding which four designs are used together.
Renting in Retirement and Wildlife Bank Notes
Q: Does Joanne see a realistic way out of this housing dilemma in retirement?
She recognizes few viable options due to age and debt, emphasizing that home ownership feels out of reach and renting remains the only choice for now.
Civil Service Pension Debacle and Cheaper Energy?
Q: Pedro Tellis, how does the procurement process work for awarding big government contracts, and is it just the cheapest offer that wins?
Historically, public procurement aims to award contracts to the best bid rather than merely the cheapest bid, with assessments of bidder capability and past performance happening early in the process to avoid discrimination and ensure the process remains fair.
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.
