The Kyle Walker Podcast

Kyle Walker returns with season 2 of his podcast but much has changed: a new club, a new league and a new country. Join Kyle and his good mate, former Man City, Tottenham and Sheff Utd midfielder Michael Brown, as he takes us through life at one of the world's most historic and glamorous clubs: AC Milan. He reveals the challenges as he adapts to La Dolce Vita in Italy, while continuing to discuss what it's like taking on some of the world's top players and teams at the very highest level. Can he help Milan return to the Champions League? How different is Serie A to the Premier League and will he learn to speak Italian? Kyle will continue to give his thoughts on the latest football news from England and be joined by some of his good mates from his time in the game. This season, Kyle and Browny are also doing some special Q&A episodes. If you've ever wanted to ask an elite player a question about the game, about a footballer's life or what it's really like to come up against Messi, M'Bappe, Vinicius Jr and the rest, email KyleWalker@bbc.co.uk.

    No-one is Messi, except Messi

    Kyle explains what was behind his widely-publicised chat with Joao Felix in the Napoli tunnel at half-time where he was heard saying, “Just pass the ball - we are not Messi.” This leads to a chat about heated debates in the dressing room and whether he and Michael Brown preferred an arm around the shoulder or a kick up the backside. They also discuss what it was like for Kyle going back to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, why so many British players are now moving abroad and Kyle reveals what makes the players scarper in the dressing room before a Serie A match. Kyle also gives his thoughts on the return of Bukayo Saka and Oscar Bobb from their long injury lay-offs and he gives Nottingham Forest their flowers and reveals which player he thinks should definitely be in the Premier League team of the season. Browny asks Kyle about the jokers in the Milan squad and at some of his former clubs: which Milan player is now speaking English because of Kyle? Why should you never go for Riyad Mahrez? And who has the “strongest arms in the world”? Don’t forget to check out Kyle and Browny’s first Q&A episode, where you’ll discover how they spent their first paycheck and the one match they wish they’d never bothered playing in.

    Zlatan’s been on the phone

    The Kyle Walker Podcast is back with Michael Brown for a new series of the pod and they have a lot to chat about. Since their last recording together, Kyle has left Manchester City to join seven-time European champions AC Milan on loan until the end of the season. Kyle takes us through it all: how the move came about, why he couldn’t turn down the opportunity and the role played by the one and only Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Kyle also reflects on his time at Manchester City: the unprecedented success, his sadness at saying goodbye and his respect for Pep Guardiola. He also reveals his initiation song that got everyone - even the Milan gaffer - up on their feet, the impact he hopes the move will have on his England career, the never-ending goodbye tour before he left and Kyle even gives us a little bit of Italian. Kyle and Browny are also recording some special Q&A episodes this season.

    Christmas as a Footballer: The Games, The Cold and The Parties

    It’s Christmas (almost) so Kyle, Browny and Chris have got their paper hats on and are talking about what the festive season is like for Premier League players: how much are they really allowed to eat on Christmas Day? Which manager was a bit of a Scrooge? And what gift do you buy for a footballer? Browny reveals what used to go on at Christmas parties in his playing days and recalls some of the fancy dress outfits he wore, while Kyle explains why the days of footballers going out in the centre of town have become impossible. They also chat about snoods, Browny’s sleigh and the Christmas legend who lives at the end of Kyle’s road.

    Training Day: Pep’s Office, Sauna Club and Riyad’s Pasta

    What does Pep Guardiola’s office smell like? Who’s in the Man City and England Sauna Clubs? And why did Riyad Mahrez have his own pasta? Kyle is taking us into the inner sanctum in this episode of the pod as we learn what really goes on at a Premier League club training ground. He reveals how often Pep is on the training ground, what they chat about in their one-on-ones and why the gaffer’s office always smells so nice. We learn what footballers keep in their lockers and how one QPR player’s bad breath led to his being messed with. We hear about the hi-tech equipment required to keep elite athletes going like cryogenic chambers and recovery pods, while Browny recalls the old days when the communal bath would become an impromptu diving pool. We also get taken through a regular week at Manchester City: how long they train for, why insomnia is a problem after games and which is the most important training session of the week. And for the first time, a listener is invited into the studio to prove if they can really beat Kyle Walker. But who will prevail in the Three Cracker Challenge?
