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, Wednesday and Friday!

What listeners will find here

Why mortgage rates are rising, how to play the Ozempic pill boom, and when to cut a bad investment
Mortgage rates hitting 6% lead this episode, with a look at who is pushing them higher and why it matters beyond homeowners. It also explores the race to turn weight-loss jabs into pills and tackles the hard question of when to stop holding on to a losing property.
Looksmaxxing, tweakments, and the blurry payoff of buying beauty
Looksmaxxing is the focus here, from the money people sink into appearance to the uncertain payoff of trying to look better. Sophie Hallwright and Hanna Horvath unpack beauty spending, Love Island culture, impulse purchases, and what it takes to step off the "hot girl hamster wheel."
Why Oura hit pause on a $15B IPO, and what AI might be doing to your brain
Oura’s aborted IPO and the trade-offs of everyday AI are the two big threads here. The episode unpacks why companies time public listings carefully, why Oura’s subscription model matters, and how to use AI without outsourcing too much of your own thinking.
Power, money, and a record buyback: a sharp return for The Weekly
This episode connects gender, power, and money through the Cornell sexual assault case, donor influence at elite universities, and a huge week in tech and markets. It also breaks down Nvidia’s record share buyback, AMD’s trillion-dollar milestone, and Nike’s innovation slump, with personal updates from Soph and Vic.
A simple stock market primer before you buy your first share
This episode explains what a share price is, how it gets set, and why it moves up or down. It frames the stock market at its most basic level: buyers and sellers in a marketplace, with a practical warning against getting emotionally attached to a stock.
