Polly Markus on Blowouts, Risky Investments & the Rise of Miss Polly’s Kitchen.
Season 1 · Episode 159
mercredi 16 avril 2025 • Duration 54:45
This episode is a full-course meal of money chats, career pivots and laugh-out-loud moments with the glorious Polly Markus (aka Miss Polly’s Kitchen). We talk real estate burnouts, spending blowouts (yes, including a Celine bag situation), and the chaos of being your own one-woman content empire. Polly spills on her investing flops (Rivian, we're still not over it), the emotional hangover of financial regrets, and the surprising clarity that comes with getting serious about your money goals. It’s equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and wildly relatable - plus, stick around to the end for a little announcement that had us both misty-eyed and squealing. 🥹

Will Fewer Babies Break the Economy?
mardi 15 avril 2025 • Duration 21:11
This episode is all about demographics - what they are, why they matter, and how they’re quietly reshaping our economies. Zoe from Tempo unpacks the global trend of falling birth rates, what that means for governments, and how it could impact the stock market in the long term. We explore why women are choosing to have fewer (or no) children, how countries are trying - and failing - to reverse that, and what it means for everything from immigration policy to investment opportunities. Think ageing populations, robotics, fertility healthcare, and yes… even adult nappies. We also answer a brilliant listener question on how to tell which headlines are worth paying attention to when you're investing.

Are We About to Head Into a Global Recession?
Season 2 · Episode 113
lundi 14 avril 2025 • Duration 36:23
Trump’s been on the mic again - and the stock market’s feeling it. A sudden U-turn on tariffs sent US markets soaring nearly 10% in a day (yep, a day), and now economists are whispering the R-word. We break down what this week’s chaos means for inflation, interest rates, global growth and whether your term deposit is about to start ghosting you. Vic’s got investing whiplash, Soph’s halfway to deleting social media, and honestly, we’re all one Trump headline away from packing it in and starting The Herb - dodging dictators, growing basil, and diversifying in herbs and assets.
WTF Does That Mean? A Guide to All the Jargony Bits
Tariffs – Taxes on imported goods. Makes stuff more expensive.
Insider Trading – Buying or selling stocks using secret info. Very illegal.
Interest Rates – The cost of borrowing or the reward for saving.
Negative Interest Rates – You pay the bank to hold your money. Yikes.
Inflation – Prices go up, your money buys less.
Global Growth – How fast the world’s economy is growing.
Diversification – Spreading your money around to lower risk.
Recession – When the economy shrinks for a while. Not cute.
Term Deposit – A savings account you lock up for a fixed return.

What does success really look like when you're not following the traditional path?

From online hate to uncertain income, Lucy shares the real story behind the growth of her platform, why she believes being single helped her succeed, and the challenges of being a woman carving out her own version of success.

Why the Stock Market’s Freaking Out - And What to Do.
Season 2 · Episode 112
lundi 7 avril 2025 • Duration 41:12
Hold onto your investing hats (and maybe your Shein sparkle tops), because this week’s Curve Weekly is a wild ride through the chaos of Trump’s new mega tariffs. We break down how the former president’s dramatic attempt to “make America wealthy again” is sending global markets into a tailspin, whacking small countries with 40%+ tariffs, and giving TikTok a starring role in what feels like an economic soap opera. Soph shares her Friday night stock market shopping spree (cue major FOMO), Vic explains why Vietnam is copping it hard, and we ask the million-dollar question: do you double down on recession-proof stocks or snap up the ones in free fall? Plus, we get into Brexit’s accidental win, IPOs gone quiet, and why investing is basically the new Coachella. Get comfy, because this is one of the biggest Curve Weeklies yet.

Why Your Brain Loves to Spend Money.
Season 1 · Episode 157
mercredi 2 avril 2025 • Duration 46:57
Ever wonder why you feel so good when you buy a new outfit but not when you pay your electricity bill? Blame it on dopamine. In this episode, we chat with clinical psychologist Dr. Anastasia Hronis about the science behind impulse spending, why tech companies make shopping way too easy, and how to hack your brain to save instead of splurge. We also unpack everyday addictions (yes, your late-night Netflix habit counts) and how to spot the difference between a harmless treat and a full-blown problem. Plus, Vic confesses her old online shopping addiction, Sophie reveals her unusual bedtime habit, and we learn why Buy Now, Pay Later is the ultimate dopamine trap. Get ready for some serious penny-drop moments!

BYD Overtakes Tesla, Eggs Cross Borders, and a Fresh IPO Hits the Market.
Season 2 · Episode 111
lundi 31 mars 2025 • Duration 41:01
Okay okay - we’ll admit it, this episode starts off light on finance and heavy on ski trip chaos, family drama, and… onsens. If you’re just here for the money chat, skip ahead to 17:15. From there, we dive into the EV race heating up as BYD overtakes Tesla in revenue (huge), unpack a surprise IPO hitting the market soon, and look at what’s behind the skyrocketing price of eggs in the U.S. (spoiler: people are literally smuggling them). Oh, and we also question whether Lululemon is having a full-blown identity crisis.
