escape pods insurance
I have picked up an escape pod or two but they are classified as "slaves" on my HUD. When am I likely to get the insurance money - is it when I have docked at a station or when I have sold them?

They should show up individually on the ship's manifest screen (F5x2), listing their name and race (if I remember correctly) as well. If that's the case then you will get the insurance payout as soon as you dock.

Some people are insured, some arn't.
An insured person will come up on your screen as "You have captured (or rescused) {guy's name}." He shows on your cargo list as slaves, but when you dock an arrival report shows "For resquing XXX, a YYY from ZZZ, their insurance pays CCC." He disappears from the Cargo list and you can't sell him as a slave.
If the fool didn't have insurance then you get the message "You have captured a slave." and you sell him as such at the station. This is why it is wise to carry insurance!
