BBC Radio 5 Live - Wake Up to Money, 'Let curiosity be your compass'

Who will replace Jeff Bezos? 
Plus Covid-19 means more of us have to take time off work. What's the business impact? And remembering Captain Sir Tom Moore's immense achievement.

"Let curiosity be your compass" said Amazon founder Jeff Bezos as he told staff he's stepping down from leading the company. In a surprise move last night he said he wanted to pursue other projects, but had no plans to retire.
California based tech journalist Alison Van Diggelen explains what he's achieved and what we know about his replacement Andy Jassy.

Self-isolation, sickness, bereavement. There's so many more reasons why staff are needing more time off tha usual. Research given to Wake Up To Money by the Chartered Institute of Personel and Development has found that more than 80% of businesses have been affected by workplace absence through this pandemic.
How bad is the problem, how is it affecting bosses and staff and is there anything we can do about it?

The charity sector pays tribute to Captain Sir Tom Moore who died in hospital yesterday.

And Clearpay tells us what it thinks about plans to regulate the Buy Now Pay Later market.
