The Bigger Picture: Decorating Downing Street, Dominic Cummings, Arlene Fisher & Biden's 1st 100 Days
Political commentator Mike Indian looks at the rumpus over who paid to redecorate Boris Johnson's Downing Street flat and at the allegations made against the Prime Minister by Dominic Cummings. He also looks at the complexity of Northern Irish politics in the wake of Arlene Foster's resignation. And he looks across the Atlantic to assess Joe Biden's first 100 days as President. He begins, though, with a look at Ed Balls Day.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Self-driving cars in the UK, bomb-sniffing rats & paper-thin loudspeakers

He looks at Amazon's trials of contactless palm scanning, at their smart doorbell to deter porch package purloining, at Porton Down's new machine for training bomb-sniffing rats, at a smart bird feeder, at B&O speakers masquerading as books and at the development of paper-thin loudspeakers.

The Financial Outlook for Personal investors: How to spot the next round of market winners
Russ Mould, Investment Director of A J Bell, applies Sir John Templeton's dictum on the four stages of bull markets to suggest how investors can spot the next round of market winners – and dodge the losers. He compartmentalises the market's sectors into those suffering pessimism, scepticism, euphoria and optimism and suggests how investors might be able to suppress their natural instinct to follow the herd; as Warren Buffett said, "You cannot buy what is popular and do well".

Gadgets & Gizmos: Apple's Airtags, temperature-lowering paint & flying cars
Share Radio's tech connoisseur Steve Caplin waxes lyrical about apple's new iPad, though not its new iMac.

He explains how ultra-white paint can lower temperatures, wonders why Amazon has set up a hair salon, is impressed by a 3D printable ivory substitute, wants an electric bike trailer and mulls buying a flying car despite its $789,000 price tag.
