This week's episode is a history of Lloyd's of London. With a history stretching back over 300 years this insurance marketplace has been part of some of the biggest parts of history.

Today it is a huge part of the global economy and provides cover to all manner of celebrities.

I hope you enjoy understanding more of how Lloyd's works and its tale.

If you're curious as to why this episode is a week late I've been ill for a few days. This meant I was unable to record this for 6 days. I'm better now but sorry for the delay!
