Legends circulated, and many believed that the handprint had a rather macabre history, belonging to a fellow firefighter. (The Ghostly Handprint of Francis Leavy) *** Ventriloquists don't have a lot of prestige when it comes to the entertainment industry – on many lists they are just one rung higher than a juggler. But they've been throwing their voices at us for centuries. And one man named James Burns was so good at his art, he was tossed into jail for it! (The Man Who Could Make Dead Fish Talk) *** A child murdering their parents is, thankfully, rare – but when it happens, it grabs headlines. But some of the reasons that a child gives for murdering his or her own mother can be downright shocking and unbelievable. (They Murdered Their Mothers) *** Just the word “lobotomy” brings images of cruelty, inhumane treatment under the guise of medicine, and a procedure that could more appropriately be labeled as torture. We'll look at a few cases of individuals who had a lobotomy performed on them… and the disturbing results.

Today's guest is Tom Clementi, CEO of UK Government-backed terrorism reinsurer, Pool Re. Now over thirty years old, Pool Re has been through a lot of recent changes that have reflected its growing maturity. It has been classified as a Central Government Organisation by the Office for National Statistics and the UK Cabinet Office designated it as an Arm's Length Body of the UK Treasury. To add to that formalisation, which reflects its public role and unlimited State guarantee, Pool Re is moving from its tariff-led facultative reinsurance structure to a more sophisticated treaty relationship with its members. Add to this the heightened sense of geopolitical risk in the world in 2024 and new UK legislation around safeguarding against the terror threat and Tom and I have lot to talk about. This is a really lively discussion that covers the state of the global terrorism market, a frank assessment of the UK's terror threat and Pool Re's continued role in making and growing a private market well-funded enough to relieve pressure on the strained public purse. Tom's a great guest and his insights will give anyone wondering how successful public-private partnerships can be fostered a lot of excellent pointers.

We tend to take the institutions that serve our industry for granted. It almost seems that the hundreds of industry trade and standards bodies have always been there. So that's why this episode is so interesting. Today's guest is working on setting up the world's first cyber loss classificatory body that from 1.1.2024 will serve the UK insurance and reinsurance industry and the wider UK society that it is supporting. We don't do this very often so my chat with James Burns, Head of Cyber Strategy at UK-headquartered cyber and specialist MGA CFC is a unique chance to be in on the ground floor as an industry leader seeks to solve an emerging problem in the risk landscape. The cyber world and its insurers need be able to classify the severity of the systemic loss events that it is facing if they going to be able to continue to grow and fufill the needs of customers and society as a whole. But just how do you go about creating a pan-industry pan-societal body with a mission to work in the best interests of all? James's answers to this question are fascinating. His expertise and gravitas, mixed with optimism and idealism are a highly effective and infectious combination. So if you are feeling jaded and thinking that what insurance does is sometimes a little uninspiring I can highly recommend a listen. This is an Episode to remind you that our industry is absolutely essential for solving some of the biggest problems of our age.

But some of the reasons that a child gives for murdering his or her own mother can be downright shocking and unbelievable. (They Murdered Their Mothers) *** For decades, firefighters at the Chicago Fire Department noticed an eerie hand print that left a permanent mark on a casement, which could not be washed, scraped or removed, despite several attempts. Legends circulated, and many believed that the handprint had a rather macabre history, belonging to a fellow firefighter. (The Ghostly Handprint of Francis Leavy) *** Just the word “lobotomy” brings images of cruelty, inhumane treatment under the guise of medicine, and a procedure that could more appropriately be labeled as torture. We'll look at a few cases of individuals who had a lobotomy performed on them… and the disturbing results. (The Victims of Lobotomies) *** Ventriloquists don't have a lot of prestige when it comes to the entertainment industry – on many lists they are just one rung higher than a juggler. But they've been throwing their voices at us for centuries. And one man named James Burns was so good at his art, he was tossed into jail for it!
