    EP 55: The Swiss Franc, 1798 to 2055 (with Costa Vayenas)
    Apr 2 2026
    Join Russell Napier and Costa Vayenas as they explore a currency with a cult following – the Swiss Franc. Costa is author of The Swiss Franc, from 1798 to 2055 – and yes, that's not a typo. The book promises a treasure trove of deep data and insights, and explains how Switzerland manages with an ever-appreciating exchange rate. Looking ahead, it also discusses what long-term bond yield differentials might imply for the Swiss franc against the US dollar, and the importance of jurisdictions for asset values in a world where states and private individuals are shifting to new forms of digital money.

    EP 54: The Weekend Of Mistakes (with Leila Johnston)
    Mar 26 2026
    The much-anticipated Weekend of Mistakes 2026 took place on 20-22 March, with leading investment and ecomonic thinkers such as Russell Napier, Merryn Somerset Webb and Professor Helen Thompson entertaining an enthusiastic audience gathered from across the UK and far beyond. Topics included football finance, the water industry, a guide for countries hoping to avoid going bust, and the mafia's unlikely role in shaping queer nightlife. It all took place in the stunning setting of Hay Castle in Hay-on-Wye on the Welsh border – and our very own Leila Johnston was there. Enjoy her report from a lively and thought-provoking weekend, and hear from several of the speakers and guests that she met.
