Bonds are often seen as the safe haven of investing—a refuge from the volatility of markets. But in this episode, we explore why safety is never free. From government treasuries to high-yield corporate debt, "Bonding with Risk" breaks down how fixed-income instruments work, what they promise, and what they actually deliver.

You'll learn:

• How bonds are priced and why interest rates matter

• The hidden risks behind “safe” investments (duration, inflation, credit risk)

• Why investors still buy negative-yielding bonds—and when they might be right

• How to interpret the yield curve, and what it says about the economy

Whether you're buying your first treasury bill or weighing junk bonds against growth stocks, this episode will sharpen your sense of risk—and help you decide when a bond is truly worth the promise.
