Modern Mindset: Lavanya Bhandari on Mycelium, the Potential Solution for Plastic Pollution
Adam Cox is in conversation with Lavanya Bhandari, the founder of Ecoroots, delving into alarming data indicating that the average person now consumes 100 microplastics in each meal, a consequence of the significant presence of macro and microplastics in our water sources. Lavanya sheds light on Mycelium, an alternative material, and elucidates the advantages of opting for it over traditional plastic. Additionally, she discusses why the brand is actively seeking more farmers to contribute their agricultural waste to support their cause. https://www.ecoroot.co/

The Hypnotist: Avoiding an Undesirable Future
Over-consumption in the present can lead to an undesireable future. Whether excess eating or drinking is caused by stress or anything else, there's no point in devaluing your future, risking the loss of energy or confidence and increased exposure to illness and medical problems. So in this episode Adam sets a new cross-roads symbolism for weighing up those choices, and helps to build a more positive outlook. In a sense, that's what the whole country needs to do as we struggle with the legacy of having committed £400 billion for getting through the pandemic. All that money spent on furlough and other measures have escalated the public sector debt pile to levels which point to a seriously undesirable future for the years ahead, but are stealth taxes the way to build a more positive outlook?

The Bigger Picture: Is the Autumn Statement a suicide note, Argentina & anarcho-capitalism and could the UK get PR?
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University thnks that the Autumn Statement is one of the final suicide notes of this administration. Examining the small print reveals the biggest drop in living standards since records began in the 1950s and the big picture is bleak. He even wonders whether the Conservatives may soon no longer be seen as the natural party of government. He is fascinated by the success of anarcho-capitalist Javier Milei in Argentina and wonders how many of his ideas he will be able to enact. And he looks ahead to the next election, He feels that, if there's a hung parliament, the LibDems may yet get proportional representation which could hugely benefit Nigel Farage.

The Business of Film: Hunger Games 5, Saltburn, Skylight & The Killer

The Business of Film: Hunger Games 5, Saltburn, Skylight & The Killer
James Cameron-Wilson found Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes confusing and poorly made, though the new #1 helped box office rise 54% with a £5.4m take. Nor was he as enthusiastic as many critics about Saltburn, Emerald Fennell's darkly comic tale of aristocratic mayhem, though he did like Rosamund Pike's and Richard E Grant's performances, as well as the score. However, he loved the new NT Live screening of David Hare's play Skylight with Carey Mulligan and Bill Nighy, which he found insightful, funny and profound. On Netflix, he recommends David Fincher's procedural The Killer with Michael Fassbinder, which is beautifully filmed and very clever.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Sam Altman & OpenAI, Microsoft's Azure avatars, eating shipworms & a walking app
Steve Caplin takes Simon Rose through the drama of OpenAI's Sam Altman being sacked and then reinstated. Microsoft have an animated avatar that may make deepfakes even easier. Shipworms, which eat wooden boats, could be cultivated to be a fish substitute as a solution to overfishing. The Slow Ways walking app should benefits walkers everywhere, rural and urban. Logitech have produced an impressive articulating webcam. And, because they can, the US Marine Corps have created a robot dog with an anti-tank rocket launcher.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Follow the fundamentals, not politicians or index changes
Russ Mould of A J Bell says investors shouldn't get too excited by things like the Autumn Statement given that the government may change in less than a year, that if it was easy to pull a lever and energise the economy it would have been done by now and that the government and the Bank of England seem to be pulling in different directions. With changes imminent, he looks at the FTSE 100-Share Index. Who's in or out really doesn't make that much differnce and is far less important in the long-run than the fundamentals. Only 26 companies have survived over the index's 40-year history.

Thought for the Week: Health & Education Shortcomings hold back UK Growth
Adam Smith set out the foundation building blocks for economic growth in the Wealth of Nations, and capital and labour were the key components — Jeremy Hunt says he is now pursuing growth as his key priority, and there's no doubt that increasing capital availability in both public and private sectors will help: but where is the labour capacity? It's on NHS waiting lists. Background music: 'The Nexus Riddim' by Konrad OldMoney
