Listener Liam asks: We hear companies talking about net profit and underlying profit - but what's the difference? And yes, I've googled it before - but the question google can't answer for me is which one actually matters?

Listener Chris asks: A personal bugbear of mine. Why on earth does a bank still take up to three days to transfer money from one account to another person's acount? I know there are faster options now with Osko and the like, but I'll often still get an alert saying it may take two business days to clear. What's there to clear? It's my money, it's digital, and it should be instant!

Listener James asks: I don't think I've actually heard a clear case for why anyone would want to invest in cryptocurrency (other than 'number go up'). Perhaps you could talk about some of these (eg Bitcoin re potential alternative to grow into Gold's market capitalisation and/or to become another global reserve currency)? And the dangers of memecoins (Doge included, sorry Elon).
