Claims Apprentice 2023: Episode four – Claims inflation podcast part one

With one victory each, the third challenge looks to be vital for Teams Aspire and Connect as the claims apprentices seek to impress Kennedys’ very own Sir Alan Sugar – Claire Mulligan.

Onto the latest task, where our contestants will have to plan and record a podcast on the topic of claims inflation.

To differentiate the broadcasts, Team Connect have been told to focus on cost of repairs, while Team Aspire was given the theme of personal injury, mentored by Kennedys’ own Sandip Sidu and Mark Walsh, respectively.

However, before they get in the studio, the teams will need to work out what they plan to cover, whether they will invite a guest speaker to the recording, and hit the streets of the City to record vox pops with members of the public.

So, with time at a premium, and a lot of preparation to do, the big questions are:
• Who from the world of podding will the teams look to for inspiration, as they seek to win over the ears of the industry?
• Which team will get the best soundbites as they run around EC3 trying to get input from passers by?
• Finally, who is shaping up to take the lead, grab the microphone and present, and who is going to play the role of contributor?

Watch the latest episode now to find out who is in the best shape ahead of a date with destiny in the recording studio.
