The Bigger Picture: What is the future for Labour, America's socialist soul & Iran cosying up to Venezuela
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University asks what the future is for Labour, wondering whether the party needs a strategic refresh, possibly even linking up with the Libdems, if it's to avoid the fate of many left-wing parties in Europe. He discusses why, despite the common perception of the USA, America has always had a socialist side to it, dating back to its earliest European settlers. And he expresses concern about the way in which Iran and Venezuela appear to have become bedfellows, helping each other to avoid the effects of sanctions.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Will commodities soar instead of stocks?
In the light of market reaction to Janet Yellen's comments about inflation, Russ Mould, Investment Director of A J Bell, asks if markets are at a major turning point. If inflation is making a comeback, what would the effect be for equities? Should investors be thinking about real assets rather than paper assets? With, apparently, 41% of US household assets now in the stock market, are equities exhibiting too much exuberence?

Gadgets & Gizmos: Self-driving cars in the UK, bomb-sniffing rats & paper-thin loudspeakers
Tech expert Steve Caplin is bemused by the UK's go-ahead for self-driving cars only on motorways and no faster than 37 mph. 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.
