On MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Morning Sit‑Down, Saturday Mornings Show  host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys  we celebrate three remarkable individuals who pushed the limits of human endurance for causes far bigger than themselves. Joining us in the studio are Rob Schimek, Maria Sahota, and Lincoln Bode—all fresh from completing The World Marathon Challenge an astonishing challenge to run 7 marathons in 7 days across 7 continents. Rob and Maria share their journey running full marathons to raise funds and awareness for cancer research, and Lincoln completed 7 half‑marathons in honour of his father and to support Parkinson’s research. They all reflect on the physical and emotional toll of racing from Antarctica to Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, and North America—all within a single week. Their story is one of grit, purpose, and the power of community.

Saturday Mornings: 7 Marathons, 7 Days, 7 Continents: The Extraordinary Human Stories Behind The World Marathon Challenge

🌍 Asia’s markets aren’t just rising — they’re erupting. On MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and Joanna Ossinger, Managing Editor at CNBC dive into the AI‑fuelled financial frenzy sweeping South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. This is the new gold rush, and the “picks and shovels” chips, servers, cooling systems are all made in Asia.

Retail mania is everywhere.
In Seoul, twenty‑somethings are emptying their savings.
In Taiwan, TSMC engineers have become national heart‑throbs.
In Japan, chipmakers are minting billion‑dollar winners overnight.

The numbers are staggering:
• Taiwan’s market has doubled.
• Korea’s has tripled.
• Japan’s Nikkei is up 80%.
• Asia now supplies two‑thirds of the world’s AI infrastructure exports — nearly US$4 trillion.

We explore what’s driving the frenzy, who’s cashing in, and whether this rocket ship still has fuel. A sharp, high‑energy look at the AI boom reshaping portfolios across Asia.

Saturday Mornings: Asia’s AI Gold Rush: The Markets, the Mania and the New Crazy Rich

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3 veteran Indonesia watcher Richard Borsuk joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen to decode the market jitters shaking Southeast Asia’s largest economy.

Indonesia isn’t in crisis but the warning lights are flashing brigthly. The rupiah is sliding, foreign investors are pulling back, and Jakarta’s once‑rock‑solid macro credibility is wobbling.

Two big shifts are spooking markets:
• Fiscal drift — ballooning subsidies, off‑budget spending, and unpredictable commodity controls.
• Institutional drift — amendments expanding Bank Indonesia’s mandate and raising doubts about its independence.

For two decades, Indonesia’s superpower wasn’t growth — it was credibility. A disciplined central bank. Predictable policy. Investor trust. That foundation is now under pressure. We break down the risks, the politics, and why Singapore and the region should be paying close attention.

Saturday Mornings: Indonesia’s Warning Lights for Singapore and Southeast Asia

🌍 The existential threat is here. 

On MoneyFM 89.3’s Polar Explorer Robert Swan OBE joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen to discuss the future of the planet.

Swan was the first person to walk to both the North and South Poles; he is now one of the world’s most compelling climate voices.

His message is as urgent as it is uncompromising: Antarctica is melting faster than predicted, sea levels are rising. Singapore, as small as we are, sits on the front lines of global climate risk.

Recorded at The Nanson in Singapore, we explore his extraordinary expeditions, the renewable‑energy breakthroughs he’s championing, and why he believes .the next decade will determine the fate of the world’s most fragile ecosystems.

We connect the dots to Singapore’s reality:
• Rising seas
• Extreme heat
• Energy security
• The race for decarbonisation

Swan’s warning is simple: The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it. This is a powerful, inspiring conversation about courage, climate, and the choices that will shape our future.
