We also check in on a steadier Wall Street as geopolitical tensions ease and examine what calmer markets mean for investors. Finally, we look at why the next stage of the AI revolution may be won not just by software developers- but by the companies building the chips, memory and infrastructure behind it.

Live Well with Michelle: The next era of intelligence - building living computers

Artificial intelligence has transformed the way we work, but could the next computing revolution come from biology instead? Hosted by Michelle Martin, this episode explores the groundbreaking field of biological computing with Dr Chong Hon Weng, Founder and CEO of Cortical Labs. Discover how lab-grown human neurons are being fused with silicon chips to create computers that learn in fundamentally different ways from today's AI. We explore why Singapore is home to the country's first Biological Data Centre, how this technology could accelerate drug discovery for neurological diseases, dramatically reduce AI's energy consumption, and reshape robotics, cybersecurity and healthcare. Finally, Dr Chong tackles the ethical questions surrounding the use of living human brain cells and shares his vision for the future of intelligence itself.

Money and Me: ETF Fee Wars, Singapore Banks & Where Income Investors Should Look Next

In this episode, hosted by Michelle Martin, Tim Phillips, founder of TimTalksMoney, explores whether new lower-cost global ETFs genuinely challenge VWRA or whether fund size, liquidity and tracking matter more than headline fees. We examine why institutional investors are pouring back into Singapore equities and whether record-high prices for DBS, OCBC and UOB still leave room for further gains. The conversation also tackles one of the year's biggest investor dilemmas: should you rebalance after a volatile first half of 2026, or stay the course? Beyond Singapore, we assess whether Hong Kong dividend stalwarts like CLP Holdings, BOC Hong Kong and MTR offer attractive diversification alongside local banks and REITs. Finally, we discuss where CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust and Frasers Centrepoint Trust fit into an income portfolio and the key market catalysts investors should watch through the rest of 2026.
