    How trailblazers are using smart meters to make the switch to net zero | Sponsored

    In this special podcast from the Spotlight team in partnership with Smart Energy GB we're looking at how smart meters can help bring down energy bills.


    From July ofgem, the regulator, will be reducing the price cap on energy. But household bills in Britain are expected to stay high. The government has an aim for all homes to be offered a smart meter by 2025. If you don't have a smart meter installed in your home, it can be harder to understand your energy use and to control spending.


    Host Becky Slack is joined by Andy Maybury, who retrofitted his home in the Scottish Borders to make it more energy efficient, and Sara Higham director of Corporate Affairs for Smart Energy GB

    How to keep your food bill down: cooking hacks

    How to keep your food bill down: cooking hacks

    How much does the way you cook your meals affect how much you are spending? Host Claer Barrett speaks to Suzanne Mulholland, aka The Batch Lady, about how batch cooking can save both time and money. Plus, Archie Lasseter, sustainability lead at energy company Utilita, reveals which kitchen appliances are the most energy- and cost-efficient. How much could switching from oven cooking to an air fryer save?

    Key April changes to your personal finances including NI hike and 'no fault' divorces

    Key April changes to your personal finances including NI hike and 'no fault' divorces
    This week has seen a number of changes to our personal finances in the wake of energy bill and council tax rises, along with a number of key utilities such as broadband and mobile contracts.

    It also marks the start of a new tax year and with it a National Insurance rise, a meagre state pension hike and the start of new 'no fault' divorce system.

    Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Helen Crane run through what these changes potentially mean for you and why they're important.

    Renting is set to become cheaper than mortgage repayments for the first time in 14 years according to a study.

    This could signal 'trouble ahead,' as the data shows that when this happens, often a recession follows shortly afterwards. We discuss why.

    The pandemic boom could also leave high-earning homeowners trapped and unable to move, if they've overstretched themselves to buy.

    They may be unable to remortgage as lenders consider their squeezed incomes during the cost of living crisis.

    And finally, with the energy price cap soaring, are there gadgets that could help you save money? Lee comes with a warning with his own 'smart' thermostat.

    Quantum computing could be a critical climate solution

    Quantum computing could be a critical climate solution
    What exactly counts as “climate tech”? Basically all human activity is responsible for emissions, directly or indirectly. So nearly every new technology trend or capability has at least some role to play in curbing those emissions. Robotics? Sure. Artificial intelligence and machine learning, of course. Synthetic biology? Definitely.  But here's a really interesting one: quantum computing.  Mark Cupta is convinced it may actually be one of the most important technologies we'll invent to mitigate climate change. Mark is a partner at Prelude Ventures, a climate-focused venture capital firm, and he’s made multiple investments in quantum-computing companies.  Shayle and Mark talk about how it might unlock climate-tech breakthroughs that would otherwise take decades of brute-force PhD power. They talk about applications for new materials, battery and fuel chemistries, and synthetic biology. It could also help to solve optimization problems to improve the efficiency of logistics and operations.  Although quantum computing may not itself reduce carbon emissions in a huge way, it could essentially enable other critical technologies that we need to fight climate change.  Catalyst is a co-production of Post Script Media and Canary Media. Catalyst is supported by Atmos Financial.

    The energy saving battle: Which household tasks use more?

    The energy saving battle: Which household tasks use more?
    Is it better to leave the heating on low all the time, or switch it on in smaller bursts?

    Does an electric heater cost less to heat a room?

    Is the electric blanket cheaper than a kettle-filled hot water bottle?

    On this week's podcast, Georgie Frost, Grace Gausden and Simon Lambert, tackle the burning questions of our time (well, the common energy saving ones people often debate at least).

    The team reveal a cunning way to work out when you can use Avios points to book flights.

    Plus, Simon explains why he's not a crypto investing genius, why you probably aren't too and what the point of regularly reminding yourself that you aren't an investment guru in crypto, shares, or anything else is.

    And finally, a This is Money reader recently moved home and doesn't have a doorbell and their landlord won't provide one, do they have to... and exactly who is this reader?
