The Hypnotist: Losing Weight is a Certainty
This episode is all about convictions — beliefs. Many people struggle with losing weight because they've tried so many ways to do so in the past, and it's just not worked. It's impossible! However beliefs can be challenged, and hypnotic consultation is a good way to turn them round, to erode that fixation and to build a new belief — that it can be done! So don't let self-fulfilling prophecies control your future: build yourself a conviction of certainty.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Big tech must deliver to maintain momentum

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Big tech must deliver to maintain momentum
Russ Mould of A J Bell looks at the importance of the American tech stocks, once the FANGs and now MAANAM. All suffered steep price falls last year but, of the $2.4tn rebound in the S&P 500, $1.6tn has come from these six. Russ points out that the better their share prices do, the less downside protection there is. Inflation and interest rates are also a consideration to their valuation. But with no correspondingly important UK tech stocks, they're vitally important to British investors through tracker or other investment vehicles, even if they might not realise it. If their momentum is to continue, their results must deliver.

The Business of Film: Evil Dead Rise, Missing & Operation Fortune - Ruse de Guerre

The Business of Film: Evil Dead Rise, Missing & Operation Fortune - Ruse de Guerre
James Cameron-Wilson takes Simon Rose through the UK box office numbers, down 25% week on week. Super Mario Bros still dominates with Evil Dead Rises (5th in the series) debuting at #2. James found it stupidly predictable and cliched. He was much more impressed by Missing at #6. Another slim-budgeted screenlife movie, he found it gripping and emotionally involving, as well as being an amazing education as to what's possible online. He found Amazon Prime's action thriller Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, directed by Guy Ritchie and with Jason Statham overfamiliar, although he admits that it does look very good. Lastly, he paid his tribute to Harry Belafonte.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Inflatable drones, bikes with square wheels & edible batteries
Steve Caplin discusses tech with Simon Rose, lamenting the end of BuzzFeed news and explaining Twitter's blue tick problem. The Russians have beaten Tom Cruise to making the first movie in space while NASA's Mars helicopter has just completed its 50th flight. Inflatable drones may soon solve the problem of drone fragility while a bike's been built with square wheels. Parrots have been trained to video call each other while Italian scientists are developing an edible battery. Steve is also impressed by a crowdfunded system of multi-camera live streaming to your phone.

The Bigger Picture: Ministerial/Civil Service relations, Joe Biden running & Sinn Fein attending the Coronation
In the wake of Dominic Raab's resignation and bullying allegations against the Health Secretary, political commentator Mike Indian looks at why antagonism has grown between the Government and the Civil Service? Do we even have the right sort of Civil Service for a modern Britain? He considers whether we should be worried that it's looking ever more likely that the next American Presidential Election will, again, be between Biden and Trump. And he finds it a source of optimism that Sinn Fein's Michelle O'Neill has said that she will attend King Charles's coronation.

Thought for the Week: Investing in Energy
Dire warnings about the damage from climate change, plus the war in Ukraine, mean that we need to wean ourselves quickly off fossil fuels. However the investment markets are very slow in re-aligning opportunities in quoted investment markets: personal investors need to be able to invest in massive renewable energy projects such as Xlinks, but private equity and institutions have got in there first. We need a thorough overhaul of the investable energy sector to provide socially acceptable alternatives to fossil fuels. Background music: 'Boundless Energy' by Nate Blaze
