New System to Allow Dynamic Pricing for Taxis

We listen to a news story about how Japanese taxi companies will now be able to introduce dynamic pricing for certain offerings. Operators that apply with the transport ministry will be able to flexibly set fares for taxis hailed through approved smartphone apps when users specify their destination and get fares upfront. In the second half of the program, we go over how to catch a taxi in Japan and how services have been evolving since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The Price is Right

The Price is Right, originally hosted by Bob Barker until 2007 and Drew Carey thereafter -- features a wide variety of games and contests with the same basic challenge: Guess the prices of everyday (or not-quite-everyday) retail items. Four contestants, all of whom are seated in one of the wildest audiences in daytime game-show history, are called to the stage to play a preliminary pricing round. That winner joins the host on stage for one of more than 70 different pricing games. After three such games, the contestants spin a big wheel -- hoping to get as close to $1 as possible -- in the "Showcase Showdown". The two highest winners of that round advance to the final, where prizes could be cars or roomsful of furniture. A trio of models presents the prizes.

Set in the East End of London, the show focuses on the tensions between love and family with stories ranging from hard-hitting social issues, to personal, human tragedies. And there's plenty of funny moments too. 

Classic characters old and new across thousands of episodes have shared a drink in The Queen Vic, shed tears of despair or joy, sat on Arthur's bench in the Square... and at some point or other they probably crossed paths with Ian Beale.
