  • Why separate features??

    Hello,

    Please play as one continuous show as in the present format I can’t listen while out walking or driving due the current format of several separate features. It’s my favourite programme on radio but often missed because of the ‘bitty’ podcast presentation.

The Tween Beauty Industry
Q: Do you think this could be the beginning of a big shift or even a watershed moment for the beauty industry?
Yes, it could be a watershed moment as regulators push back against covert tactics targeting young people, prompting brands to rethink how they market and the ethical implications of reaching children through social media and influencers.
How the World is Responding to the Energy Crisis
Q: Should governments implement caps or other price controls to manage an energy crisis?
Experts argue against price caps because they place the cost on taxpayers or suppliers and may reduce the incentive to invest in energy infrastructure, instead favoring demand reduction and efficiency measures.
How the World is Responding to the Energy Crisis
Q: What is the US approach to offshore wind in light of high fossil fuel prices?
The US administration is negotiating to cancel offshore wind projects and redirect support toward fossil fuel investments, indicating a political strategy that prioritizes immediate energy security over renewables.
Iran cashes in on the Strait of Hormuz
Q: How viable is a multinational escort flotilla to protect tankers through the strait?
A defense-heavy operation would require substantial resources, including a picket line of destroyers, mine countermeasure vessels, and air cover, making it technically feasible but economically and politically demanding.
Iran cashes in on the Strait of Hormuz
Q: First of all, why is Iran talking about charging for ships to go through, possibly indefinitely at this point in time?
