À propos de ce contenu audio

The Curve is a platform to learn more about money. To change the stereotype that these conversations are typically boring, and only for men in suits. Victoria has worked in the finance and investing world for 13 years, and Sophie is a total novice. Learn alongside her as she asks all the questions you're thinking, but might feel a little embarrassed to ask. This podcast will give you all the tools and knowledge to achieve financial freedom, as well as (hopefully) having a laugh along the way.

New episodes every Monday and Wednesday!

  • The Green Bike Empire That Can't Pay Its Bills.

    The Green Bike Empire That Can't Pay Its Bills.
    May 17 2026
    Lime is everywhere. A billion rides across 29 countries and 230 cities, and yet they're about to go public not because they're crushing it, but because they need the money. We break down what's really going on under the hood, what it means for investors, and whether this is a business worth backing. We also cover: - GameStop vs eBay: the board said no, but the CEO is going directly to shareholders. Is this actually going to happen? - Oil & Inflation: the numbers are starting to come through and they're not pretty. What the latest figures mean for your cost of living. - Prediction Markets: the fastest growing space in finance right now. From hair dryers near airport sensors to a US soldier using classified intel to win $400k, the stories are wild. Plus, is this gambling or investing? - Australia's Capital Gains Tax Change: a major shift that every investor needs to understand, whether you're based in Australia or not. We break it down simply and compare it to the UK and New Zealand. - Community Question: hedged vs unhedged ETFs. What does it actually mean and should you even care? 👗 The wardrobe app we mentioned: Whering (https://whering.co) 🗳️ Should we do a full episode on hedged vs unhedged ETFs?Let us know here (https://form.typeform.com/to/jrwHNDPu) Wondering whether an investment actually lines up with your values? 👉 Submit your money and morals question to The Ethical Hotline:https://form.typeform.com/to/BZHujjGM WTF does that mean? A guide to all the jargony bits: Capital Gains Tax — Tax on profit you make from an investment. Free Cash Flow — Money a business has left after paying its bills. Hedged ETF — Protected from currency swings. Unhedged? You take what comes. Prediction Markets — Betting on whether something will happen. Like gambling but make it finance. Meme Stock — A stock driven by viral hype, not actual performance. Shareholder Meeting — When investors get together to make big company decisions. Stake — How much of a company you own. Commodity — Raw materials like oil or gold that are traded on markets.

  • The richer you are… the more you love AI?

    The richer you are… the more you love AI?
    May 10 2026
    Over 300,000 jobs have gone in the US alone in the first four months of 2026, up 30% on last year. The people losing them are disproportionately women in white collar roles. The people profiting? Anyone with money in the stock market. This week we get into the real AI story: not just who's at risk, but how AI is quietly making the wealth divide wider. Plus: fuel reserves in Australia and New Zealand are down to about 38 days - what actually happens if we run out? A meme stock just made a $60 billion hostile bid to buy eBay at four times its own size. And Uber quietly reported results that show it's becoming so much more than a taxi app… We mentioned this episode from Shameless Media on AI and why you can't afford to ignore it, click to listen. (https://open.spotify.com/episode/0uxRRZHvLgX2pRRx9wgnUR?si=bcd4a9cfc6a443da) We're hiring a junior podcast editor based in London, if that's you (or someone you know), check out the full job description here. (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/thecurveplatform_job-description-activity-7458168667277733888-GW2Z?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAADhXtnMBLOOxJqfuLwCDBajV9VKw09qFvkc) Want to know exactly how much you should have in your emergency fund and where to put it? We did a whole episode on it, listen here. (https://youtu.be/aVKxGY3DeUw?si=sijFE23CtGuJYTNE) Wondering whether an investment actually lines up with your values? 👉 Submit your money and morals question to The Ethical Hotline: https://form.typeform.com/to/BZHujjGM WTF does that mean? A guide to all the jargony bits: Hostile Takeover - When one company tries to buy another without asking nicely first. Very awkward. Very public. Meme Stock - A share that goes viral on the internet, not because the company is doing well, but because people collectively decide to make it go up. Short Selling - Betting a share price will go down and making money when it does. The hedge funds doing this to GameStop got burned badly. Market Cap - The total value of a company. GameStop's is $12 billion. eBay's is $45 billion. One of these is trying to buy the other. Reporting Season - When companies publicly share how much money they made or lost. Like a school report card, but the whole world is watching.
