Episodes

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’ve just come back from a night of karaoke. Well, actually our intern Sam got us kicked out early for singing Fly Me To The Danger Zone five times. Apparently, he exceeded the maximum number of Loggins attempts. Everyone told Sam not to sing. But Samsung anyway.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, I wasn’t sure whether to make this introduction about weather. Meteorology is probably the only science field where they’re actually trained in small talk. The sky was overcast this morning so I asked Siri, “Surely, it’s not going to rain today?” And she replied, “Yes it is, and don’t call me Shirley.” That was when I realized I’d left my phone on Airplane mode.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we celebrate some of the more interesting news in quite a while. Scientists have discovered a new type of polar bear. It can live in both the North and South poles, is prone to extreme mood swings and mates with both genders. It's a bi-polar bipolar bi, polar bear.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, after some strong listener feedback on these introductions, we’ve decided to give out Bega vouchers to anyone who complains in the comments. Thay way they can have their whine and cheese. This joke’s a bit cheesy, but I’ll milk it for all it is worth.

In this week’s holy edition of INSIGHT, we’re looking forward to Easter. I originally thought it was going to be on April first, so I was going to send my kids to look for Easter eggs that I haven’t hidden. To be honest, that’s not my joke, someone lent it to me.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, give me an S, give me a T, give me an R, give me an A, give me a R, or was it a T or an A? Spelling was never my strong suit (I once accidentally messaged my wife "I'm having a great time. I wish you were her”).

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, I did some research. It might surprise you to know I haven’t done a flood or water-related pun for 37 episodes. What won’t surprise you is that when I did, it wasn’t funny but then nor are the two significant events that have been declared this week. Bring it up now might be too soon after the flooding, but I don’t give a dam.

This week’s edition of INSIGHT is sponsored by the car cowboys like to drive, the Audi Partner. I get the chance to reference one of my favourite movies, The Good The Bad and The Ugly. My parents were disappointed with how ugly I turned out to be, so one day when I was young I ate an abacus. I showed them it’s what on the inside that counts.

In this special feature INsight podcast we cover the highlights, insights, forsesights and terrabites from Insurtech Live 26, brought to you by Insurtech Australia, the not-for-profit industry association for insurtech and insurance innovation.

This week’s edition of INSIGHT I’m not going to sing the lyrics to war what is it good for? As it might be a little dark, so I thought I’d start off with a fun fact. Did you know Sweden and Denmark hold the record for most wars fought between two countries? The good news is that none have happened since Denmark got LEGO and Sweden got IKEA. I guess it just takes them forever to assemble the army.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, in honour of Robert Kelly’s retirement announcement, I'm announcing that I’m retiring from telling dad jokes. Now I only tell Grand Dad jokes. It’s one monumental reporting time. But with even more reports published than usual my wife told me that I had to choose between our relationship and my career as a reporter. Have I got some news for her.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we are soooooo in tune with the industry, this is episode number CPS 230. Or so I’m told. I thought it was CP-3 pee-ohh and had written this entire intro before editorial corrected me. They sent me amendments in a PDF which I had to read using my Adobe One Kenobe.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, the news highlights are all about big movements and large breaches. But don’t be fooled. This episode is not like two robbers stealing women’s underwear. No, we’re not looking for a pair of knickers.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we were hoping 2026 didn’t start off as bad as 2025 ended. Alas, much like when I accidentally swallowed some food colouring at Christmas, sure ChatGPT said I’d be okay, but I feel like I’ve dyed a little inside. So a new year, new stories, but also the same unresolved issues. It reminds me of that time the past, the present and the future walked into a bar. Man, it was tense, it is tense and it will be tense.

In the last edition of INSIGHT of 2025, it seems all a bit too serious at the moment for a humorous intro. Never fear, we won’t change our ways and will be back with groan-inducing summaries in 2026.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’re celebrating numbers. It’s episode 226. 226 is part of Aron-son's sequence (look it up if you’re having trouble sleeping). Apparently, 226 is also a happy number, but some of the numbers in this week’s news will leave you feeling a lot less happy. Much like my jokes.

In this week’s special edition of INSIGHT AFTER DARK, we’re getting up close and personal. Yes, we want to know all about you dear listener. Do you like long walks on a beach? Do you drink coconut-and-rum-based cocktails during periods of significant precipitation? Tell us your mother’s maiden name and whether you’ve ever given money to a relative of a Nigerian Prince? Yes, tell us everything…

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’d like to take a moment to thank the English cricket team. They’re the gift that keeps on giving (well at least for two days). Bazball really blows and more than our Editor-in-chief who’s a big fan.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, I’m wishing last night’s breaking news came a little earlier so I could make some jokes about emojis; eyeroll emoji; facepalm emoji with a purple shirt; thumbs-down emoji. Instead, we’re still talking about commissions. And like I said to the guy who tried to sell me a coffin, it’s the last thing I need.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’re channeling our Wall Street Gordon Gekko’s. Life all comes down to a few moments, but unlike the movie, this is not one of them. We asked several financial experts what do you need to do to make a small fortune on Wall Street. They looked at us and suggested a large fortune. Our performance is so abysmal, we’ve been recommended to buy laughing stock.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, the team is worried. After all the latest breaking news stories, they’re not quite sure what my introduction will contain. I tried out 10 different introductions to see if they would be okay and no pun in ten did. In the end I told them that they should worry more about me dying. It’s the last thing I’d do.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’re in the mood for some classic soft rock. Maybe it’s because I had porridge for breakfast and spent the morning hauling oats around the kitchen.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’re in the Gold Coast mixing it up with insurance brokers from across the country at NIBA. I thought the opening night was fancy dress so I went as a screwdriver. I certainly turned a few heads.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’re as good as new. That is to say, we’re learning on the job, we’re discriminating against the old and annoying everyone by listening to New Kids On The Block on repeat.
