What really happens when a business collapses and creditors want their money back? In this gripping episode of The Sounds of the Baskerville, James and Chris dive deep into the emotional, financial, and often unpredictable world of creditor behaviour.

Packed with real cases, sharp insights, and the human drama behind insolvency, this episode is a must-listen for business owners, advisors, and anyone curious about what really drives creditor anger
