Looking for someone who is house hunting to chat to the team at Money Box. Maybe you have a mortgage in principle or you’re upsizing and need a new mortgage. We want to ask how you’re finding it - and if the current uncertainty is putting you off. Email me please - felicity.hannah@bbc.co.uk
I need your mortgage questions!
Next week on Money Box Live I’m looking at how to find the right mortgage for you.
What’s a good interest rate? Fixed or tracker? How much can you borrow? Something else you want to know?
Email moneybox@bbc.co.uk, or even better send a voicenote to 033006 783 183
I'm looking for people to tell me their home's ridiculous restricted covenants for a radio programme. I ideally want you to email me the restriction and a phone number so one of my team can ring you and just get you to tell them it so we can make a MONTAGE. Felicity.hannah@bbc.co.uk
Just got a reminder about the annual boiler service 🎅🎅🎅
I’m doing my bit to help!
The BBC is the latest part of ‘the public realm’ to feel the wrath of the right.
The playbook is wearyingly similar.
Underfund them. Hold them (piously) to the highest standards. Pillory them for all errors. And then co-opt, or neuter, them. 1/2
Money Box wants to hear from people who’ve had letters asking for Simple Assessment payments. HMRC has sent some savers 2 letters - one earlier this year & one now that includes tax on savings. If you’re one of those people - please email felicity.hannah@bbc.co.uk and thanks a lot in advance.
If you’ve received multiple Simple Assessment letters get in touch.
We’re covering this on Money Box with @paullewismoney.bsky.social this Saturday.

Fliss it will be worth it! #radiogold
Modern life is……expensive??
I’m one of the producers working on this…and if you agree we’d love to hear from you!
Money Box is looking for people who set up pensions for their children or grandchildren this week. Have you invested for anyone under 18? Would you be willing to share your story? Email daniel.whitworth@bbc.co.uk – and thanks! Shares gratefully received - it’s a niche request!
Last year thousands of people rushed ahead and withdrew their pension lump sum ahead of the Budget - just in case the rules changed. Was that you? Would you chat to Money Box about it? I’m on felicity.hannah@bbc.co.uk and please do share this with anyone who might be right. Thanks Team Bluesky!
I am looking for a parent and fresher to chat to for Money Box Live next Wednesday. In my Ideal Radio Dream World, you’d be willing to audio record yourselves with a phone out shopping for uni stuff at eg supermarket or Ikea.
Felicity.hannah@bbc.co.uk is my email - please share if you know someone
Like it’s never been away 😄
Looks legit….
Wow! This is a really interesting move by the Nationwide.
So next week on Money Box Live we are looking at the money wisdom you wish you’d known. I want to hear the advice you wish you’d had sooner, what you wish you could go back and tell yourself.
I’m also keen to hear the money mistakes you learned from - reply here or email felicity.hannah@bbc.co.uk
Wow! Well done! And congratulations! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’ll be listening to @felicityhannah.bsky.social on #MoneyBoxLive on BBC Radio 4 at 3pm today, as someone who was made redundant last year. I was lucky - supported by my brilliant union @nujofficial.bsky.social . But i hope to learn something new.

Tricky topic for next week’s Money Box Live - the finances of losing your job. I’d love to hear from someone who is losing their job or has recently done so, who can talk about the pressures. Very sensitive journalism and you don’t have to share your full name. Felicity.hannah@bbc.co.uk to hear more
Money Box Live Behind Bars. How do prisoners manage money? What's bang-up pay, subsistence payments, canteen? And how easy is it to manage money after release? How does it affect reoffending? Fascinating discussion.
(HT to producer Sarah Rogers for all her extra hard work on this one)
Such a good programme to work on!
Money Box Live is back on Wednesday! We are looking at how AI is transforming your finances, from investments to scams to the never ending chat bots. What are your experiences? Do you have any questions? Any concerns? Get in touch, email felicity.hannah@bbc.co.uk
And please share if you can 🙂
Hello, we’re looking for someone who pays monthly for their insurance - and is willing to tell Money Box why. Email me felicity.hannah@bbc.co.uk
I was really moved by the people we spoke to in #MoneyBox Live this week, including Karen whose husband died while their two children were still tiny. Moving stories and expert advice on how to deal with the tsunami of sadmin that follows a death - and how banks and other firms could do better.
Silencing the Voice of America, which beams reliable, fact-based news via TV and radio to authoritarian countries where state-run propaganda dominates, eliminates a unique credible source of free information. youtube.com/shorts/eLICG... #SaveVOA
Hi Ellie, I’m the producer working on this story. It would be great to speak to about this if possible.
My email is Catherine.lund@bbc.co.uk
