Episode 29 of Beer And Bytes is just out!

"The suit should be blue and the newspaper pink" - that's what bankers used to say but we argue over whether this is still true in the City of London?

Oakley Walters, head of marketing at new investment app MoneyFarm, tells us what financial services can learn off the booze and ciggies industries.

And friend of the podcast and mortgage adviser Danny Matthews is chucking in his job, his app and his podcast - but why?

We also look at HSBC UK's new 'selfie security scheme'. Aaaand, there's the usual tasting of beers. Hurrah! Enjoy!

EPISODE 28 of Beer & Bytes: It's a rather fruity episode this week as Lloyds Bank chief António Horta Osório is forced to apologise to his own staff after getting caught 'on the job'. Meanwhile, Irish taxmen say they want to take a 13 billion euro bite from Apple. And we get to the core of Jeremy Corbyn's new digital policy and find it's all pips and no pop. Amy sups heartily from the cup of alcoholic raspberries, while Michael goes bananas about an Australian prison escapee. Is a banana a fruit? Anyone?

"Death of the Chairman's Whim" - MRM's head of digital, Michael Taggart, pontificates on the state of corporate sponsorship.

Was the recent acquisition of Yahoo a smart move for Verizon and where will core Yahoo users go next? This week the Beer and Bytes team examine the sale of one of the world's best known content providers. The team also meets one of the founding members of new savings app for millennials, Moneybox, which is due to launch any day now. In this episode we also ask ourselves whether we'd buy a property only ever seen through a virtual reality headset, following news that estate agents has started to showcase its homes through VR. As always, there is beer. And a bit of chat about sharks in Brighton. You should probably just listen and it will all make *some* sense.
