Headsets, lock-down habits & money [S18E05]

Many thanks to Mark, the Audio Wrangler, our editor for the last 5 years. Here's to the next 5 (and sorry for all you put up with).

This week the team discuss:

• The best microphones for video conferencing whilst home working - What works best from home for both comfort and performance, what products have the team chosen and some pitfalls to avoid.
• Satya Nadella's observation that Covid-19 has produced "2 years digital adoption in 2 months" - How has this rapid change in working arrangements for many been a "massive forced experiment" and what behaviour changes might be permanent?
• Real-time banking and money management - How some FinTech products and challenger banks are now providing real-time data to connected services, and how this makes money management quicker and more effective.

Let us know your thoughts on these subjects or anything you'd like to hear covered in future via the website or Twitter.
