INsight Podcast- Episode 191: What’s behind Steadfast’s staffing shake-up?
In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, apparently, I reached a new low with last week’s introduction. It was the same reception I get when I visit Hawaii. I was a low ha. Fortunately, the industry’s perception after its response to Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred is quite the opposite.

INsight Podcast- Episode 190: ICA unveils action plan
In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, sorry seems to be the hardest word. I start this episode needing to apologize to all those listeners “outside of the industry” who I offended by assuming they didn’t listen, when in fact, there were ten of them. I also used ten puns in that episode hoping they would land. I’m sorry to say, no pun in ten did.

INsight Podcast - Episode 186: Dutton’s divestment bombshell
In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we find a real use for generative AI. Getting quotes from Sir Humphrey Appleby of Yes, Minister Peter Dutton must be a glutton for punishment as all of a sudden the industry is seen as a political weapon.

In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, I’ve been waiting five years for any sign of a soft market just to show off my repertoire of egg-based puns. Spoiler alert: they’re cracking. Oh dear, I’ll find my way out, via the egg-sit.

INsight Podcast - Episode 184: to name or not to name?
Our first edition of INSIGHT for 2025 is sponsored by Leonardo DiCaprio’s home and contents insurance. It’s been one hell of a start to the year, with many people taking that reference literally amongst all the fire and brimstone.

INsight Podcast- Episode 183: ASIC’s investigation into Steadfast employees
In the last edition of INSIGHT for 2024, it’s been quite a year as we take a trip down amnesia lane. I’d make a joke about it, but I’ve forgotten how it goes. But that’s okay, it’s not that memorable anyway.

INsight Podcast- Episode 182: Stepping up on complaints
In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we’ve got so many complaints, we’re thinking of opening a whinery. So I purchased some noise cancelling headphones. I thought the team would find them annoying but so far I haven't heard any complaints.

INsight Podcast- Episode 180: Learnings from our cyber seminar

INsight Podcast- Episode 179: Finity assesses high-flying industry profits
In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we talk about complaints. Not the complaints I made to Amazon when they didn’t deliver my poker cards. Sure, customer service are dealing with it, but I think they’re bluffing. No, these are AFCA complaints in 3D.

INsight Podcast- Episode 177: Has climate changed the game?
In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, we backed a horse a couple days ago at ten to one. Unfortunately, it came in at quarter past four, so we’re still in our day jobs. We should look at it as a glass hoof full, stop horsing around and focus on this podcast that turns out has a colt following.

INsight Podcast- Episode 175: Flood report awash with recommendations
This week’s edition of INSIGHT is brought to you by the number 86. You’re about to get so many math puns, you’ll be calling it maths. I did my research, apparently, 86 is business code for “all out of it”. We’re not sure if that’s the hidden meaning from the flood inquiry recommendations, but we will figure it out.

INsight Podcast- Episode 174: Home comfort as profitability turns
In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, there’s an ill wind blowing in pod HQ, and it’s not just the result of me spending four straight days eating lentil dahl whilst hiking. Unsurprisingly, like a student pilot soaring through a rainbow during their exam, the team passed with flying colours.

INsight Podcast- Episode 172: Ardonagh/PSC a done deal
In this week’s edition of INSIGHT, it’s a bit of an ordeal and not that ideal as we cover a committee spiel and a real big deal, in an intro that’s a frankly a bit piecemeal.
