As anyone paying even cursory attention to markets would know, the ASX tech sector has had a rough trot over the past year, down 37% as AI upheaval and rising rates took their toll. But not every stock in the sector has been dragged down with it, and the upcoming August reporting season is shaping up as a key test of who's actually benefiting from AI versus who's being eaten by it. In this episode of Buy Hold Sell, Elise McKay of Pendal and Shaun Weick of Wilson Asset Management join Livewire's Tom Stelzer to analyse three of the biggest ASX tech names that each sit on different branches of the AI tree. One is a standout performer up more than 70% year-to-date, one is a software name some have already declared dead as an AI casualty, and one is a data centre name smack bang in the middle of the infrastructure boom. They also each nominate a tech stock they're backing, including one that could be the next big Australian medtech success story. This episode was filmed Wednesday 15th July 2026.
It's a tough time for many consumers as the forces of rising rates, stubborn inflation and other macro complications have seen Australia's cost-of-living crisis rumble on. It's a good thing then that there's still plenty of consumer discretionary stocks showing strength, even if the outlook for the sector remains more uncertain. In this episode of Buy Hold Sell, Livewire's Tom Stelzer is joined by Elise McKay from Pendal and Shaun Weick from Wilson Asset Management to make the call on three ASX consumer stocks that could still be potential buys despite the challenges. They've also brought two very different choices as their picks for a consumer stock to watch right now.

Presented by 6D Helmets Do you remember the first time that you saw a STACYC Stability Cycle? I can. "Lucky kids!" I thought. "Why didn't weren't these around when I was a kid?" Now, can you believe that it has already been a decade since the STACYC was invented? That fact really makes me feel old! For this installment of the 6D Helmets Midweek Podcast, we caught up with STACYC'S Matt Schumann, to talk about the effects that STACYCs have had on the sport of motocross, the recent LiveWire acquisition of DUST Moto, what's next for STACYC, and more!
The energy sector has been front and centre for much of the last 12 months, as AI demand and the war in Iran have seen demand surge and prices jump around. That's been good news for many of local names, with the ASX Energy sector up 11% this year, but is there any charge left in the battery? In this episode of Buy Hold Sell, Livewire's Tom Stelzer is joined by Dougal Maple-Brown from Maple-Brown Abbott and Stephane Andre from Alphinity Investment Management to see if they're positive or negative on some interesting ASX energy names. In a rare turn of events, we've also got a double fundie stock pick. Find out which stock has got the joint tick of approval and why by watching the episode below.
As equity investors, we're always aiming for better-than-average - otherwise we'd just buy a low-cost index ETF and be rid of the vagaries of individual stocks (but what fun would that be?!?!) No, playing the game of the market, we want - even need - stocks in our portfolio that deliver above-average performance, if for no other reason than to cover the laggards. With the new financial year about to roll over, it's time to cast our eyes ahead and think about companies that can deliver for us in the coming 12 months. In this episode, Livewire's Chris Conway is joined by Yarra Capital Management's Marcus Ryan and ClearBridge Investment's Reece Birtles, who each pitch three stocks that they believe are poised for a big year ahead. That's right, it's six straight-up buys, with the guests talking passionately about the stocks in their portfolios. For good measure, they also share one stock they'll likely avoid over the next 12 months. This episode was filmed on Wednesday, 17th June 2026.
There are a few moments throughout the financial year that lend themselves to a portfolio review. While investors should always remain diligent, January 1 provides a fresh opportunity to cast a critical eye over one's holdings, while the February and August reporting seasons offer another chance to decide which companies continue to make the cut. But perhaps EOFY trumps them all, particularly due to tax-loss selling, where investors realise capital losses on underperforming investments to offset capital gains elsewhere in their portfolios and reduce their overall tax bill. Most of the treatment above, however, focuses on the losers. What about the winners? What about those stocks that have had a ripping 12 months and become the stars of your portfolio? Can they continue to outperform, or was the past year as good as it gets? To help answer those questions and run the ruler over five of FY26's top performers, Livewire's Chris Conway is joined by ClearBridge Investment's Reece Birtles and Yarra Capital Management's Marcus Ryan. For good measure, each guest highlights one company that has had a great 12 months that they believe will kick on in FY27. This episode was filmed on Wednesday, 17th June 2026.

Going Back to Smallville returns with our Smallville season 8 rewatch of “Injustice,” an episode that pushes the show into some surprisingly dark territory while introducing Tess Mercer's version of the Injustice League with Plastique, Parasite, Livewire, and Neutron. We talk about Clark struggling with what to do about Davis/Doomsday, Oliver becoming more ruthless, and Chloe getting pulled deeper into the chaos as the season races toward the finale. More than anything, this episode feels like a major turning point for Tess, because by the end of it, it really seems like she officially knows Clark's secret and believes she's helping him fulfill his destiny. Between the DC references, the growing tension between Clark and Oliver, and the Kandor tease at the end, “Injustice” gave us a lot to unpack.Support the show: https://patreon.com/hopefullyawesomeBecome a Member on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHRvjz_pKP1Th5Y8ZIwFMtQ/joinCheck out our Merch! - https://hopefullyawesome.creator-spring.com/This video is NOT sponsored.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the current state of the MBA admissions season. We are continuing to see MBA programs release their final decisions. This upcoming week, UPenn / Wharton, Northwestern / Kellogg, Georgetown / McDonough, Boston College / Caroll, Yale SOM, MIT / Sloan, UCLA / Anderson, Washington / Foster and Washington / Olin are releasing final decisions. A few MBA programs are also continuing to their next admissions rounds, including Toronto / Rotman, Boston College / Carroll and Vanderbilt / Owen. Graham noted that Clear Admit is hosting several Application overview events in May, on May 19 and 20, and May 26 and 27. Signups for these events are here: https://www.clearadmit.com/events Graham continued with the Real Humans Alumni series. This week focuses on four alumni from Mendoza / JP Morgan, LBS / Decisional AI, HEC / CarbonFarm and Kellogg / Amazon. Graham also highlighted new hires in leadership roles at Haas and Tepper. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected one LiveWire entry and two ApplyWire entries. This week's first MBA admissions candidate works in the airline industry and is seeking an MBA to transition into consulting, in the south. This week's second MBA applicant has startup experience in the fintech space and has a 685 GMAT score. This week's final MBA candidate is a machine learning engineer for a bulge bracket bank. They want to use the MBA to transition to investment banking. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!

1992's Live Wire stars Pierce Brosnan as a bomb expert with two big problems: someone's using explosive water to blow up senators, and one of those senators is f**king his wife. Johnny Knoxville (Jackass: Best and Last) and Nicole Byer (Nailed It!) join Paul and Jason at Largo in L.A. to break it all down, including actor/activist Ron Silva's wild hair, Madonna the bomb robot, the exploding clown and exploding judge scenes, the multiple up-skirt bomb defusal situations, the bathtub sex scene, and so much more. Plus, Nicole reveals her very limited knowledge of actors who played James Bond. • Go to hdtgm.com for tour dates, merch, FAQs, and more• Have a Last Looks correction or omission?

On this episode of Fostering Change Podcast, Rob Scheer is joined by Temple Lentz — nonprofit CEO, local elected official, and debut novelist — for a thoughtful conversation about what happens when the systems designed to protect vulnerable families don't always work the way they're supposed to.Temple is the author of the novel Not Quite Home, which explores the cracks in America's social service safety net. While the book is fiction, its themes are grounded in real-world experience. Having worked both inside nonprofit leadership and as an elected official, Temple brings a rare systems-level perspective to the conversation.Together, Rob and Temple discuss the gap between policy and lived reality, how well-intentioned systems can sometimes cause unintended harm, and why storytelling may be one of the most powerful tools we have to illuminate the need for reform.Episode Highlights• Why systems meant to help families often fall short• The unintended consequences of well-intentioned policies• What people misunderstand about how social service systems actually function• Why fiction can humanize policy failures more effectively than reports and data• How civic engagement and storytelling can open doors to meaningful reformAbout the GuestTemple Lentz is a nonprofit CEO, local elected official, and debut novelist.
