Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD) affect around 10,000 people in the UK, yet awareness of these rare neurodegenerative conditions remains strikingly low. In this episode of The Journal Podcast, host Luke Holloway speaks with James Cusack, Chief Executive of the Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Association (PSPA), about the realities of living with PSP and CBD, the challenges of diagnosis, and the vital support available to patients and their families. The conversation explores the financial impact these conditions can have, from lost income and care costs to home adaptations and specialist equipment.

Workplace injuries are widespread across UK film, television and theatre production, yet many never appear in claims data. So what does this mean for insurers trying to understand the levels of risk? In this episode of the Journal podcast, Vanessa Riboloni speaks with Injury Prevention Consultancy (IPC) founder, Tome Levi, about the safety and reporting gaps facing the entertainment sector. They explore why performers may feel pressured to work through injuries, how a single incident can affect an entire production, and why low claims frequency does not necessarily indicate low risk. The discussion also considers how better reporting, earlier insurer involvement and more accurate risk profiling could encourage safer working practices and help the market get ahead of potential exposures.
