    SpaceX, the World Cup & the Business of Belief 

    SpaceX's IPO. The World Cup. Two of the biggest events on the planet right now. One involves investors pouring billions into a company promising to reshape the future. The other involves fans paying thousands to watch 22 people kick a ball around a field. But when excitement reaches fever pitch, who actually wins? In this episode of Investing Unlocked Extra, Georgie Frost is joined by Economics Editor at Investors' Chronicle, Hermione Taylor, to explore the economics behind two global phenomena. What exactly are investors buying when they buy into SpaceX? Are they backing a business, or a vision? With AI companies, IPO hopefuls and tech giants all demanding fresh capital, where is all that money coming from? And what can the World Cup teach us about value, price and speculation? Why are fans willing to pay Taylor Swift prices for football? Do host countries really benefit from staging major tournaments? And when you follow the money, who are the real winners? A conversation about hype, scarcity, storytelling and what happens when excitement becomes an asset.

    Is Now the Time to Invest in the UK Stock Market? – with Clive Beagles

    The UK stock market has been described as cheap, undervalued and out of favour for years. But according to Clive Beagles, the real story is far more alarming: at the current rate of takeovers, the UK could have no stock market left in ten years. So is it time to back Britain – or is it already too late? In this episode of Investing Unlocked, Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert talk to Clive Beagles – Senior Fund Manager at J O Hambro Capital Management – to make sense of why one of the world's oldest stock markets is sleepwalking towards irrelevance. They get into the "Cool Britannia" era of the 90s versus today, how negative press coverage has become a self-fulfilling prophecy, and what the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 actually tell you about the UK economy. Clive also explains how unlocking the vast savings held by UK households could be the key to turning things around – and what investors should actually do with UK equities right now.

    ISA Shake-Up: What the Latest Changes Mean for Your Money

    ISAs are back in the spotlight after the government's decision to cut the Cash ISA allowance for under-65s from next year. But that's only part of the story. In this episode of Investing Unlocked Extra, Georgie Frost is joined by Sarah Coles, Head of Personal Finance at AJ Bell, to separate fact from fiction and explain what the latest ISA changes could mean for savers and investors.

If you're wondering how the ISA landscape is changing — and what it could mean for your financial future — this episode is essential listening.

    Is Property Still a Safe Investment? – with Rob Dix

    For generations, we’ve been told that property is the "default" safe bet. But the world is changing fast. Landlord numbers are falling, and interest rates are staying higher for longer. In this episode of Investing Unlocked, Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert sit down with Rob Dix – author, landlord and co-founder of Property Hub – to ask if investing in property is still worth it. And if it is, how do you actually do it well? They interrogate the long-held British belief that "my property is my pension," identifying who property genuinely suits as an asset class – and who should walk away. The conversation also covers what actually makes a "good" investment property in 2026 and exactly what you’ll need to consider before you even think about buying. For anyone who has ever assumed property is "safe as houses”, this episode will make you think again.

    Why Smart People Make Poor Money Decisions – with Vicky Reynal

    British households are sitting on £430 billion in cash that could be invested. So what's stopping us?  The truth is, most people are terrible with money - but it's not for lack of knowledge. It's how we're wired. In this episode of Investing Unlocked, Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert sit down with financial psychotherapist, Vicky Reynal - Times columnist and author of Money on Your Mind - for a rare look at the psychology behind our most common investing mistakes. They get into why intelligent, successful people still make poor money choices, how the beliefs we picked up in childhood shape the way we invest today, and how to rewire those subconscious patterns and take back control of your financial future.
