About this episode

Geraint Anderson shares his rise and fall in London's trading scene, detailing the excesses of his lifestyle and the impact of his choices.

Geraint Anderson opens up about life inside the City at the height of its excess - and what it cost him to write it all down in City Boy. He breaks down how he rose from intern to running one of London's top equity teams on charm, cocaine and relentless client entertaining, and the bonus-driven bravado that came with it. He gets into the drug-fuelled deal-making, the anonymous column written under everyone's nose, and the 2008 reckoning that pushed him out - plus what came next: writing under his own name and studying the narcissism he now sees everywhere. This is the eventful life of Geraint Anderson.
