Once again, it's time for the This is Money podcast. Every week, in partnership with NS&I, Financial Broadcaster of the Year Georgie Frost and Financial Website of the Year This is Money team up to go through all the finance stories you need to know this week. Georgie is joined in the studio by Editor Simon Lambert and Personal Finance Editor Rachel Rickard-Strauss. We’re going to be talking about the latest CMA report- could we be seeing a range of new apps to make choosing and switching bank accounts easier? And on top of that, the Bank of England cut in interest rates has caused a number of impacts since last week with some good news for first time house buyers but more worrying for savers, we’ll be looking at the effects on mortgages and pensions. Meanwhile the Bank of England has said it wants to encourage investors to take 'more risk'. So how can you make money in this post-Brexit Britain without gambling your nest egg away? And finally we’ll be tackling the perennial topic of inheritance tax. This is Money is presented by George Frost, in partnership with NS&I.

In our weekly technology section, Sophie Deen, founder of Bright Little Lab, joins Georgie in the studio, to discuss the biggest tech stories around. On the agenda, MPs have recommended that companies should be fined if they fail to guard against cyber-attacks, and home Wi-Fi will apparently get even better with the launch of the new BT Smart Hub, plus UberEATS is being tested in the centre of the capital, while Ministers want to increase the fixed penalty for mobile phone use from £100 to £150 as part of a crackdown on dangerous driving.

Bitcoin is an unregulated, independent, decentralised virtual currency, thought to be impervious to fraud or theft and with no transaction fees. It was invented - it's claimed - by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. Then last week an Australian computer scientist named Craig Wright, came forward claiming he was Satoshi. But does it matter who invented Bitcoin? and what are the problems with cryptocurrencies? Listen to Billy Bambrough, City A.M.'s deputy news editor

Over the past few decades the number of women in tech hasn't only not improved, it's actually got worse. A study released earlier this year shows that in 2013, just 26 percent of computing jobs in the US were held by women which is down from 35 percent in 1990. Kirsty Shanks speaks to the director of the new documentary "Code: Debugging The Gender Gap" which aims to work out what exactly's going on and why there aren't more women in tech.
