4.7 out of 5 stars from 1.2k ratings
  • Osteoporosis

    Vibration Plates. My own personal research suggested to me that the vibration plates, the cheaper high vibration ones, may be dangerous for bones with osteoporosis. I think the advice to pay for an exercise program from a physiotherapist is a good one.

    Thanks for the show!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dough - Series 5: Money
Q: How might digital currencies differ from traditional digital wallets?
Digital currencies, especially central bank digital currencies, aim to be government-backed and universally usable with secure infrastructure, while digital wallets are the user-facing interface for accessing various payment methods.
Dough - Series 5: Money
Q: Why is Bitcoin not considered money by some economists?
Bitcoin struggles as money because of price volatility and a lack of stable unit of account or reliable store of value, though it remains a notable digital asset concept.
Dough - Series 5: Money
Q: Do you think the UK is trending toward a cashless society?
Cashless tendencies are strong, but cash will persist for resilience, privacy, and accessibility reasons, especially during outages or for those who cannot use digital payments.
Dough - Series 5: Money
Q: What is the Bank of England's role?
The Bank of England is the central bank responsible for monetary stability and overseeing the payments system, ensuring money moves safely between accounts and remains trusted.
