I think I heard it say "insight into". The reason is that "insight" implies "penetration" in understanding or perception. In this case "into" fits in this sense.

I have the same question! I'm writing a paper and couldn't think of what the ( word + preposition ) is called so I googled "insight of?" instead. I'm pretty sure they are called prepositional idioms?
Anyway thanks everyone for the help!

And boy I was shocked to see "2003" at the top of this question. It really tells you how old the internet is. I was just starting school that year...
