This is Money: How to save or invest in an Isa and why it's worth doing
What’s the point in an Isa? This is a regular grumble as savings rates are now so low that earning 1 per cent would be a big deal. But wouldn’t you rather have all of a small amount instead of a small amount minus tax? And if you are investing, an Isa makes a lot of sense – embracing your gains and dividends in a nice tax-free wrapper. On this week’s podcast, Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert talk Isas: from the classics, cash and stocks and shares, to the upstarts the lifetime and junior strands. The team discuss why an Isa is worth having, even a cash one when the personal savings allowance exists and rates are rubbish. And Simon gives his quick guide to investing easily in an Isa, with a whistle-stop tour through the ‘why, how and what’ that could help you grow your wealth long-term. The team also discuss whether a lifetime Isa is worth having and whether a junior Isa or a slice of your own is the best place to save for children. And finally, if you’d like to both turn a profit and make your money do some good, what about ethical investing? Is the ESG label (environmental, social and governance) just a marketing ruse and how ethical are these funds? We run through the spectrum of investments that try to be ethical and give some ideas on what might fit the bill.

The Bigger Picture: Vaccine progress, the response to Sarah Everard's murder & the Integrated Review
Political commentator Mike Indian asks what is behind the EU attitude towards the Oxford/Astrazeneca vaccine while the UK's vaccination programme passes the 25 million mark. He assesses the policing mistakes regarding the vigil for Sarah Everard on Clapham Common and looks at Westminster's response to the issue of women's safety. And he looks at the much-delayed Integrated Review on foreign and defence policy, puzzling over its language relating to China and to Europe.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Google Nest helps you sleep while virtual offices help you work
Steve Caplin, Share Radio's technology editor, is a little nervous of the idea that Google Nest can use radar to track your sleeping patterns. He is impressed by Microsoft's AR meeting technology and Teamflow's virtual office. For those dreading Zoom meetings, Zoomescaper has the answer. He also highlights Wombo, which amusingly animates still photographs, technology to detect deep fakes, electric charging pads for spongy wooden flooring, a portable wind turbine and a 2000-year-old computer.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: One year on from the market low
One year on from the market lows of March 2020, Russ Mould, Inestment Director of A J Bell, looks at what has done best - and what has done worst - in the 12 months since. In retrospect, he points out, what seemed to be the safest areas when everything was bleakest turned out to be the most dangerous. Explaining why first Asian and then Emerging Markets have done well, he says that, within the UK, the sectors that have performed best have been oil and financials.

The Hypnotist: The BFG Inspired Children's Sleep Hypnosis
Following the positive feedback that Adam received for his children's hypnosis session inspired by George's Marvellous Medicine Adam creates a children's hypnosis session based on The BFG by Roald Dahl. This sleep hypnosis session takes children on an adventure of being taken by a friendly giant to a cave where dreams are stored. They then choose a positive dream that helps them become more resilient and confident and optimistic and to have a fantastic night's sleep. Great for children and adults that want a great night's sleep.

Economist Questions

Economist Questions: Diversity in the British workplace – are we managing?
The UK has come a long way since the early Equal Opportunities legislation of the 1970s, high-profile cases in the 1980s and 1990s identifying institutionalised discrimination, and the subsequent focus on celebration of diversity and promotion of inclusion. However, the #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter movements are reminders of how far we still need to travel. In this episode, Peter Urwin is joined by Emma Parry, Professor of Human Resource Management at Cranfield School of Management, to discuss how to further move the dial on diversity in the workplace. Asking whether research provides clear lessons for managers, they identify a number of similar messages across the economics and HRM literatures. However, whilst recent debates over the value of unconscious bias training caution against untested approaches, evaluation of “solutions” such as Inclusion present a real challenge. Peter and Emma debate these tensions, and consider possible ways forward. For an accompanying blog post on this issue, go to https://www.propelhub.org.
