The Hypnotist: A Daydream of Self-Acceptance
If concerns about how other people think of you develop into seeking to manage those relationships, it can result in giving away control of your thoughts and actions to others. This episode puts forward alternative approaches which help re-build self-confidence, encouraging self-acceptance and self-empowerment to make positive life choices for yourself.

The Bigger Picture: Why 2024 will be such a momentous year, the real story of immigration & Labour and defence
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University discusses the potential challenges of 2024, including elections in so many places, the problems of NATO, Ukraine & the Middle East and the militarisation of Russia. He explains why so much of what politicians tell us about immigration is wrong. And he points out that, despite many people's perception, Labour is historically the party of strong defence and that this may be yet another way in which the party will outflank the Conservatives.

The Business of Film: Ferrari, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Anyone But You, Next Goal Wins & Maestro

The Business of Film: Ferrari, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Anyone But You, Next Goal Wins & Maestro
James Cameron-Wilson explains that UK box office is up 14% YoY. Wonka is still #1 with £45m total. Michael Mann's Ferrari is #2; though interesting, it is slow and not energising. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom #3 is exhausting, all CGI and endless violence. Studio Ghibli's The Boy and the Heron is #4 while Anyone But You at #5 is an ludicrous and nonsensical romcom. Next Goal Wins about the infamous American Samoan football team is not a patch on the documentary on which it is based. However, Bradley Cooper's film about Leonard Bernstein, in which he also stars and which is now on Netflix, is beautiful and wonderful.

Gadgets & Gizmos: 2023 review with bizarre TVs, remote stroking, powdered beer, AI and more
Steve Caplin takes Simon Rose through some of the highlights of the tech year, with trouble for Apple, WeWork, Buzzfeed & the FAA, while AI boosted the likes of ChatGPT and even commentated on Wimbledon. Some TVs were free while others used a vacuum to stick on the wall. Hong Kong scientists developed remote stroking, while German monks created the first powdered beer – with no alcohol. The best-rated restaurant in Montreal turned out not to exist while AI is revolutionising computer games, publishing and much more. And we mustn't forget the world's fastest wheelie bin and the first movie shot on the International Space Station.
