Starting next Monday, December 15th, every weekday afternoon after the 3.30 news update, Radio 3's Raphael Blet will be telling us - through words and a little music - all about the things in life that you didn't know you needed to know! On our short week-daily journey of discovery we'll find out about trends, innovation, history, the future, and many other things besides, in 'That's an Idea!'. Join Raph for a five minute brain workout each weekday afternoon, and also every Sunday evening at 6:45 when he rounds up his top three of the week.

Monday to Friday 3:35pm - Sunday omnibus 6:45pm - Only on Radio 3

On Wednesday’s show Steven Filby will be joined by Chris Weston, Head of Research, Pepperstone and Kyle Rodda, Senior Market Analyst, Capital.com. Plus, we’ll hear from Vien Tsang again for another look at what to expect from the National Games.

We’ll also be taking a look at how whistleblowing works in the business world with Jun Kwong, who is the Partner at Minter Ellison. And we get a View from the semiconductor Sector with Ross Feingold, Head of Research, Caerus Consulting.

On Wednesday's programme, we'll start off with the latest on Gaza. Although a precarious ceasefire with Hamas remains in place, Israel continues to launch targeted strikes in the besieged enclave, killing hundreds since the truce was struck. We'll hear from experts on the challenges being faced in talks on the second phase of the ceasefire.

After that, we'll learn about last month's decision by Softbank to sell off its shares in Nvidia to bank roll its AI investment in the US - namely in the Stargate Project.

After the break, we'll speak to the executive director of the Federation of Hong Kong Hotel Owners about how some hotels opened their doors and provided accommodation for residents affected by the Tai Po blaze.

And finally, we'll wrap up the programme with a look at the highly-anticipated 2026 World Cup draw, which was announced last week.
