For Episode Eight, Evgeny is joined by Carl Pei, founder and CEO of Nothing, the London-based consumer tech company trying to make devices feel fun.

Is the Middle East crisis about to hit our energy bills?

Amid the escalating Middle East conflict, Iran’s near-closure of the Persian Gulf is rattling global markets.

In this episode, host Tamara Kormornick speaks to the Standard’s business editor, Jonathan Prynn, to discuss the impact of these events on markets – and our wallets. The two discuss how quickly bills will rise, how costly this could be for Brits, and which sectors will be rocked by the continuing conflict in the Middle East. Hosted on Acast.
