Foul Balls and Injuries

Foul Balls and Injuries

Author: One Interesting Thing About Insurance April 5, 2023 Duration: 25:01

Robert welcomes his father to the podcast and the two talk foul balls at baseball games, sitting close to the action at NBA games and hitting golf tee shots into oncoming traffic.


Ever wonder about the hidden rules that shape our everyday risks and rewards? One Interesting Thing About Insurance digs into exactly that, hosted by veteran insider Robert Uribe. This isn't a dry industry lecture; it's a collection of short, engaging stories and conversations that uncover the surprising, and sometimes downright strange, ways insurance logic touches everything. You'll hear about the peculiar clauses that govern your commute, the fine print behind a weekend hobby, or the historical quirks that built modern policies. Uribe frames each episode around a single, compelling concept, making the often-opaque world of premiums, liability, and claims suddenly relatable and consequential to your own world. The tone is curious and accessible, blending education with a light, conversational touch-think of it as learning the "why" behind the rules you live by, without the jargon. Tune in to this podcast for a unique perspective that connects the dots between the contracts we often ignore and the daily choices we all make.
