A podcast episode (or SM meeting) I'd like to see is a @Strawman & Stephen Mayne discussion ranting about how to solve the problems of the world. Preferably needs to be an evening discussion with a bottle of red rather than a 9am-er!

I enjoy the Money Cafe podcast and Mayne's common sense approach for the average punter and think there could be some good thoughts flying around.

Lets go 2024 Uranian is kicken the ..proverbial... Most around the traps are saying Small Caps up 15% 20% Generally happens when the Large Caps go -up ~ 10%

Lithium supply/ demand problem.

Soft Landing!! or no 'Landing required' (touch the tarmac and fly again!!!!) in this fiscal environment. for both FED (though inflation higher in last month) & RBA.

Investing podcasts

• Never dry or dull, Planet Money explains tumultuous economic events in ordinary language, or give Slate Money a go if you like your financial podcasts short and feisty.
• At the opposite end of the length spectrum is Acquired, an interesting discussion on major acquisitions and tech topics. Though at 2–3 hours a pop, it's best for long drives.
• Econtalk with Russ Robers, a favourite of our founder, John Addis, is about 'how the essential insights of economics can help us understand the world around us and lead better lives'. Or try one of Nick's top picks, Business Breakdowns, for a deep dive into how businesses work, with a new company each week.  
• How I Built This by Guy Raz offers a series of interviews with entrepreneurs and how they built their companies. If you love How I Built This, Wisdom From The Top is also worth a listen, with excellent CEO interviews about how they turned their companies around.
• Stuff You Should Know has a remarkable charm that blends education and humour better than most, but with a quieter tone that makes it perfect for easy listening. No Such Thing as a Fish – a personal favourite – has a similar feel but is spiced up with dry British wit. They may not be investing specific, but you're sure to learn something.   
• We’re fans of both Exponent and Decoder, two tech-focused podcasts. The latter can be hit or miss but when you find a topic that interests you, it’ll have you hooked.
• Invest Like the Best and We Study Billionaires are great resources for interviews with prominent investors and do a good job of blending the interviewee’s background and context with the technical aspects of investing. For something homegrown, check out Australian Investors Podcast by Owen Rask, which offers a great array of guests and interesting topics. 
• Tune in to Market Watch or Alan Kohler’s The Money Cafe to stay up to date with what’s happening in the markets, as well as other Eureka Report podcasts for Alan’s incredible selection of interviews with Australian CEOs and investors.
• And, of course, your analysts never miss an episode of the Intelligent Investor podcasts.

Thanks all for sharing your valuable recommendations. Most are well covered and subscribed in my podcast app. But a few promising ones ive since added.

One thing i struggle is to find Australian focused podcasts that follow investing, finance, and other business news. Alot of quality stuff that goes into value investing and other finance topics that originate from a US focus , which im sure principals are the same, but i much prefer the australian podcasts as you can really relate to the local companies and examples used.

Same issue I have finding personal finance and FIRE based podcasts and information that come from australians, as they typically are more relatable, albeit a fair few have now shut shop it seems with the recent ASIC influencer crackdown.

The same goes for books, always refreshing seeing an australian focus, but alas with how small we are I guess half the fun is learning principles from overseas and applying it in a similar light.

Tempted almost to load up my stake account that i'm trialing and startup the US side, and get 'into the deep end' of the US markets, but there's always the thought t hat one may stretch themselves too thin given the Aus market is big enough in itself for a retail investor.

This is one of the most refreshing podcasts I’ve heard recently, on Livewire: https://www.livewiremarkets.com/wires/bob-desmond-we-re-finding-value-everywhere

About the podcast:

When I ask most fund managers about today's operating environment, they almost invariably respond with words like 'difficult', 'complex', or 'bearish'. 

And you can't blame them. The age of cheap money and growth at any cost is over. They're not defeatist, by any means, but it's safe to say they've had easier days at the office. 

So it was a breath of fresh air to sit down with Bob Desmond from Claremont Global to record this latest episode of The Rules of Investing. Bob's optimistic, and he's "finding value everywhere."  

Claremont Global run a high conviction global fund of just 10-15 stocks. Being that concentrated would send shivers down the spine of many investors at a time like this. But while it's true that diversification is the only free lunch in finance, it's also no coincidence that the vast majority of the world's top investors pass on the free lunch and choose to be concentrated. 

Bob takes comfort in knowing a few companies well. You could say that the quality growth companies Bob invests in are made for the moment. That is to say - indispensable large cap companies with lots of cash and big moats. 

In today's episode we cover the kind of big tech stocks Bob likes, the stock he's just bought after waiting years for the right price, how he manages investor expectations during a bear market, and much more!
