The best

Love everything about this. Sue is a fabulous host with an amazing array of guests. Couldn’t recommend this podcast more

Home Counties Listener ,

Amazing idea and guests, shame about Sue

Love the guests Sue has but her manner here does not reflect her and her ruthlessness in real life! Put me off the podcast after meeting her. Massive shame as women’s sport really is growing and more exposure is great.
