The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Is inflation going to make a comeback?
In the first of a new weekly programme on Share Radio, Russ Mould, Investment Director of A J Bell, looks at the world of investment from a UK perspective. With markets and commodities buoyant despite the worldwide pandemic, Russ asks when or whether the money supporting them will run out. He wonders whether inflation will return seriously for the first time in decades and, if so, how investors might need to rethink their porfolios. And he asks if investors should treat Bitcoin seriously.

The Bigger Picture New Year Special: Tim Evans in 2020 - Part Two
In the second of two end-of-year Bigger Picture specials, we look back at some of topics discussed in 2020 by Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University.

In other programmes, he mused on political psychology and the degrees of openness across the political spectrum, the Government's planning system reforms, whether China's Belt and Road Initiative is the success it is perceived to be and he lamented the loss of one of Britain's great thinkers.

The Business of Film: Wonder Woman 1984, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom & Nothing To Hide
Low-tiered James Cameron-Wilson managed to get to see Wonder Woman 1984, one of the only blockbusters released this year. He also reviews Netflix's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, with Viola Davis and the late Chadwick Boseman tipped for Oscars. He is less enthusiastic about Dreamland with Margot Robbie or Victorian melodrama Gone Away. However, he strongly recommends Nothing To Hide, a hilarious French comedy, which is one of several remakes of a recent Italian film.
