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has been diminished by the excessive delay in the release of material to the platform, often making its content so far out-of-date as to be no longer relevant.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  • Sadly out of date here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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Infected Blood Compensation and Standing Charges
Q: And finally, the Treasury has told Money Box it is, quote, considering the issue, unquote, with the decision expected to be made at the budget. Does that give you hope it might be the right decision briefly?
If they don't affect this very simple change, it's yet another broken promise, which would be highly disappointing.
Infected Blood Compensation and Standing Charges
Q: Yes. And just to explain the detail of why it happens, what the government, if you like, got wrong, how is it that something that regulations say shouldn't be taxed is being taxed?
It works fine for those that are alive to receive their compensation, but there's an issue where estates are receiving that compensation.
Infected Blood Compensation and Standing Charges
Q: Jade Garnie, the government has clearly said in the past these sums wouldn't be liable to inheritance tax. Why is it happening?
It's believed to be an oversight caused by the complexity of inheritance tax regulations.
Unauthorised Recurring Card Payments and Overpaying Mortgages
Q: How can consumers protect themselves from unauthorized recurring payments?
They should check their bank accounts regularly for unrecognized payments, complain to their bank immediately, and demand refunds from the companies involved.
Money Box Live: First-Time Buyers
Q: Why should someone use a mortgage broker instead of comparison websites?
A mortgage broker can provide tailored advice based on various lenders' criteria and assist throughout the transaction process.
