In Episode 107 of the Live With The Maverick podcast, I sit down with Alexander Rosteck to unpack the hidden world of entertainment insurance and the role actuaries play behind the scenes of some of the most complex and unpredictable risks in the world.

From film productions and live events to influencers and global endorsement deals, this episode explores how risk is structured, priced, and managed in an industry defined by creativity, uncertainty, and constant change.

Me and Alexander discuss:
• What gets insured in production and live events
• How contracts quietly drive risk management behind the scenes
• How actuaries price entertainment risk
• The evolving role of actuaries alongside underwriters and brokers
• The impact of the pandemic on live events
• Emerging risks from content creators, influencers, and new media
