TRAP Live!

This is a TRAP episode recorded on 9th May 2024 in front of 140 adoring TRAPists at Lola's, the louche, loose, slightly dangerous bar in the underground caverns of the world-famous London Hippodrome casino.

Our sources confirm that this is the first (last?) UK financial services-related live podcast held in the UK and, secondly, there has never been any financial services event in the UK involving so much alcohol.

The show follows the normal format, albeit in a slightly more "shambolic" fashion than normal.

At the end, there's a bonus 30-minute Q&A session where the TRAP Pack fields an assortment of idiotic questions from our beloved TRAPists.

Thanks to Emmelia Powell for emceeing the chaos and Dan Haylett for his excellent pre-recording presentation. And lots of love for our event partners (with special TRAP-focused landing pages), Vanguard and Timeline.

No thanks at all to the striking train drivers. Bring on the robots.
