Original Broadcast: The Hypnotist
The title for this episode must spell out what the great majority of people are looking for, although the episode itself was designed for and individual person. More choice, more happiness, more opportunities — and freedom from anxiety, tension and being surrounded with constraints. For those who concur with Share Radio's search for a more egalitarian form of capitalism, Adam Cox sets a good marker for which to aim — for the whole human family.

Original Broadcast: The Business Of Film
This week James Cameron-Wilson is joined by Chad Kennerk, our occasional American correspondent, to review the opening weekend performance of 'F1 The Movie', which at #1 is now Brad Pitt’s highest-grossing movie, beating the record set in 2013 by his zombie thriller 'World War Z'. Having waxed lyrical last week about Danny Boyle’s new film '28 Years Later', James returns to where the franchise left off in 2007, reviewing the title with fresh eyes. While on the subject of zombies, Chad and James share some of their favourite undead excursions. James was less thrilled with the film at #6, 'M3GAN 2.0', which continues the escapades of the titular killer robot doll as she goes good in order to face off with a deadlier foe. For his streaming title of the week, James reviews the sobering Netflix documentary 'Grenfell Uncovered'.

In this episode recorded in October 2019, Simon and Mike discuss the history of the Labour Party. As the party strains to maintain its unity notwithstanding its huge majority from the 2024 election, it's interesting to reflect on its journey over past decades.

The English language does a real dis-service to Love. How can we use the same word to show our appreciation of ice cream as to define the nature of God — and everything in between? But the driving passion which is often described by the word love is often more about control. In contrast, we turn once again to 'The Prophet' by Kahlil Gibran to find his definition, which is much better phrased in terms of mutual trust and respect: both of which could significantly benefit inter-faith relations. Background music: 'Young And Old Know Love' by Puddle of Infinity

The nation's favourite savings product has just got a little less generous. The prize rate on NS&I's supremely popular Premium Bonds will be slashed from 3.8% to 3.6% from the August draw — the fifth cut since March 2024. Helen Crane, Tanya Jefferies and Georgie Frost discuss why Premium Bonds are the Marmite of the savings world, and ask whether the latest cut will prompt devotees to jump ship. We also look at where else they could stash their rainy day fund - and keep the tax-free benefits. Elsewhere, the team ask why a Lloyds Bank customer was turned away from the counter when they asked to withdraw £600 in cash - and told they could only do it at the machine outside. We also hear from a reader who has a moral dilemma. They are having £40,000 of work done on their home, and the builder has asked them to pay in cash. It seems there may be some creative accounting at work — but our reader hasn't been told that in so many words, and it could of course be perfectly above board. Could they get in trouble if it does turn out the builder is evading tax? Will the bank ask questions? And can you even take out that much money in one go? Next, Tanya discusses the latest number crunching which reveals that opting out of your work pension in your twenties, even for five years, could leave you £40,000 poorer at retirement. With younger people's budgets stretched in many directions, paying into a pension isn't always a priority. So how can they ensure they save enough for a comfortable retirement, and is it possible to make up for lost time? Finally, we look at what most people would spend the money on if they received an inheritance — or at least, what they say they would spend it on.
