What is stealth wealth? May 09, 2023

Show notes

Stealth wealth or quiet luxury as it is sometimes known is the practice of concealing one's wealth or not flaunting one's money or possessions, but rather keeping them private and discreet. It’s the kind of luxury that keeps a low profile and doesn't try to stand out with big logos or loud statement pieces.

But that does not mean people don’t know you are wealthy, at least some people do. Look at the successful show ‘Succession’ where the uber rich wear logo-free, exquisitely tailored clothes that fool no one as to their price tag.

Why do some people choose to be stealthy? Does stealth wealth mean living below your means? Is stealth wealth or quiet luxury for everyone? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is the European Political Community, the continent’s intergovernmental organization? May 09, 2023

Show notes

The European Political Community was launched in 2022 to discuss the future of Europe, mainly in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron first suggested the EPC’s creation in a speech to the European Parliament back in early May. Less than six months later, the first summit was held in Prague.

Despite initially opposed to the creation of the EPC back in June as Foreign Secretary, Liz Truss was in attendance in Prague. It’s thought she still remains somewhat skeptical, she made it clear she doesn’t want the new organisation to “cut across” NATO and the G7. Regardless, the UK will host the fourth EPC meeting in early 2024, after Moldova and Spain take their turn.

Why was the European Political Community created? How come the UK got invited to an EU forum? What happened in the first EPC meeting? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

How much sleep should I get each night? May 08, 2023

Show notes

We spend over a third of our lives sleeping. It allows our mind and body to recharge, which is vital for a number of reasons. It helps our immune system to ward off diseases, and the brain to function properly. And yet as many as 16 million adults in the UK suffer from sleepless nights, according to estimates from the Office for National Statistics.

You may have noticed that your own optimal sleep duration is different from that of other people you know well, like family members or friends. But some things are common to all of us, like the regularity and quality of sleep in particular, which are very important pillars in reaping the benefits of good sleep.

What are the health risks if you don’t sleep enough? What’s the minimal advised length of sleep? Why do some people need more sleep than others then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

How do sim swapping scams work? May 07, 2023

Show notes

Most of us have our smartphones on our person more or less all day, every day. Our photos, payment methods and a lot of personal data are stored on them. So we’re all wary of the risk of having them stolen when out in public.

But did you know there’s another way someone can take control of your phone line without you even losing the device? It’s called sim swapping and while it’s not new, it’s been on the rise in recent years. According to the FBI, Americans lost a combined $68M to sim swapping scams in 2021. One of the most high-profile examples saw Twitter founder Jack Dorsey fall prey to it in 2019.

How does SIM swapping work? How can I avoid falling victim to SIM swapping? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Can plants communicate with one another? May 06, 2023

Show notes

You might think that plants are silent and passive, but recent studies have shown that they can actually make sounds and send signals to each other, especially when they are stressed or under attack.

Researchers at Tel Aviv University recently released their findings from a six-year experiment, which saw them record sounds emitted by certain plants. We’ve actually known for over 10 years now that plants emit vibrations, but it’s the first time that sounds have been detected, meaning it’s a groundbreaking find.

Why don’t we hear plant noise then? Why would plants need to communicate with each other? What impact could this discovery have on agriculture? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is Neo-Luddism, the growing anti-technology movement? May 05, 2023

Show notes

In today’s ultra-connected society, more and more technologies are emerging all the time, and they’re getting increasingly advanced. Just look at how far AI has come in recent times, and the attention it’s been getting since the launch of ChatGPT.

In many ways, it’s difficult to not use technology. To not do so would be like cutting ourselves off from the rest of the world. But still, it’s not to everyone’s liking. Some people resent the influence that some forms of technology have on our society, and want to reject them. They are known as neo-Luddites.

Where does the name come from? Could AI have the same impact? And today, how is Neo-Luddism exemplified? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Why is Camilla becoming queen and not queen consort? May 04, 2023

Show notes

Buckingham Palace’s coronation invitations that have been sent out for the ceremony at Westminster Abbey on May 6 have confirmed that instead of ‘princess consort’ or ‘queen consort’ Camilla shall be official Queen Camilla, something that has been suspected for some time.

He reportedly got the approval of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who announced her wish for Camilla to be given the title during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations in February 2022

What is the difference between a queen and a queen consort? Why was Camilla supposed to be titled Princess Consort? How have the public reacted to this decision? What will be Camilla’s duties and responsibilities as queen? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is snus, the latest addictive nicotine fad? May 03, 2023

Show notes

Snus originally comes from Sweden, but is also consumed a lot in other Nordic countries like Denmark and Norway, as well as the United States. It’s made headlines in the last few months, with young people using it more and more.

The latest media discussions have centred on a number of Premier League footballers being spotted using snus on camera. It’s a semi-legal cigarette alternative, which comes in the form of a small moist pouch of powdered tobacco, a little like a teabag.

Is snus safe to use ? What is the legal status of snus in the UK? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Could I save more money by cash stuffing? May 03, 2023

Show notes

With inflation at the highest it’s been in 45 years, it’s no wonder people are looking for ways to manage their money more effectively. And the trend we’re talking about today has really taken off on Tiktok since the start of the year.

The #cashstuffing hashtag had already reached 1 billion views on the platform at the time of recording. There’s actually nothing new about cash stuffing; in many ways it’s as if we were going back in time a few decades to when bank cards didn’t exist. It consists of allocating a certain amount of money to an expenditure category, like groceries for example.

How does it work? Does it actually work? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Why can't Royals take selfies ? May 02, 2023

Show notes

If you ever meet a member of the royal family, you might be tempted to ask them for a selfie or an autograph but don’t be surprised if they politely decline. There are some good reasons why royals don’t take selfies or give autographs as well as a whole host of other rather unusual protocols that they must adhere to.

Royals are often surrounded by crowds of people who want to see them or talk to them. Signing autographs or taking selfies could expose them to potential threats or harm. Also it could create a lot of chaos and confusion in the crowd, making it harder for security personnel to protect the royals. But there is a more important reason...

What is the problem with selfies? What are some other things that Royals can’t do? So what should you do if you see a Royal?
