The Rogue Monkey Podcast Kevin Pickard

Here it is... 100 episodes and what better way to mark it than with the incredible Lucy and Reece Charles Barclay. They both joined us back in 2020 in our second season of the show and at that stage were embarking on a quest, for Lucy to win the World Championships in Kona.

Having reached the summit of their dream in the autumn of 2023, the husband and wife duo join us a few months later, having taken time to absorb, enjoy and reflect on what has been an amazing journey.

Lucy is now full immersed in the T100 series and we explore both the journey to now, but also what is coming next for Team Charles Barclay.


A special mention to Holly Charles, who leads on all of Team Charles Barclay's content and has captured many of the special moments we explore in this conversation.

Our guest for this episode is international open water swimmer, Amber Keegan. 

Having qualified for a GB Junior team at the age of just 16, Amber has since been on a decade long journey of ups and downs since, and in this discussion we explore and have some frank discussions about how she got through those challenging years… who she had around her… and the lessons that she’s taken from the rocky road of elite sport. 

Across her journey, Amber has become an inspiring ambassador for athletes speaking out about their experiences and the need for more support when it comes to athlete mental health.
