F1’s Software FARCE & Rob Reveals Why Red Bull Are NOW So FAST (E25)

The best drivers in the world were ready to race in Malaysia. Then a software glitch got in the way. Jake, Rob and Otmar ask how F1 can call itself the pinnacle of motorsport when an untested software failure can stop drivers from doing their jobs, and why fans deserve to know what’s happening when things go wrong. The guys also debate Kimi Antonelli’s 84-point lead, George Russell’s terrible luck, and whether there’s any way back. Rob explains why Red Bull’s latest upgrade could make them a threat everywhere, while Otmar and Rob tackle Ferrari’s latest strategy mess and why Lewis Hamilton was right to ignore the team and trust his instincts. Plus, Otmar defends Esteban Ocon’s F1 career, while the guys debate whether Williams really are victims of the cost cap, or simply not making enough of what they have.

Russell UNTOUCHABLE, Max Wants Hadjar’s Upgrade & Aston SLOWER Than F2 (E24)

Baku belonged to George Russell. He took pole, fastest lap and the win, and led every lap for the first Grand Slam of his career. Otmar tells the guys about the rather unusual gift he showed George after qualifying. Rob explains why one crash on a street circuit can knock a driver's confidence for the rest of the weekend. And the guys do the maths on whether George can still catch Kimi. The answer isn't what you'd expect. Otmar also tells the story of the Instagram post from Malaysia that nearly got Checo Pérez a five-year ban. We hear about the steering change that made Max say "I want that". And the Engineering Dark Web returns with the seventh-gear trick that won Mercedes Baku. Plus, Lando, Colapinto and the ugly side of F1 fandom, a proper A-list Bullshit Corner nomination from Richard Hammond, Jake's Brad Pitt Zoom disaster, and a phone call with the man behind bscorner.com. The guys are also offering to send a family to the British Grand Prix next year, so get in touch if you'd like to be considered.

Why Diets Always Fail: Harvard Professor Exposes Food Myths | Daniel Lieberman (E439)

Evolutionary biologist Daniel Lieberman challenges one of our most persistent beliefs about weight loss: that if you can’t stick to a diet, you simply need more discipline. He explains why our bodies evolved to hold onto fat, why willpower can only take us so far, and how diet culture has turned eating into a cycle of guilt and shame. Daniel also shares the story of his own mother, whose obsession with avoiding fat came at a cost later in life, and introduces a simple way to spot bad advice: are you thinking like a fox, embracing nuance, or a hedgehog, convinced one idea explains everything? His message is simple: there is no perfect diet. There are only trade-offs, and understanding them might change the way you think about food, health and your own body.

The 5 Things High Performers NEVER Say

We've sat down with hundreds of high performers. These are five sentences we've never heard a single one of them say... "I'll start when I'm ready." "That's just the way I am." "It's not fair." "I've done enough." "I did it on my own." None of them is a character flaw, but each one quietly pulls you away from where you want to be. From the High Performance archive, Keely Hodgkinson explains why she puts her success down to 90% mindset, in a year when almost nobody believed she'd make the Olympic team. Matthew Syed remembers bombing a talk at Goldman Sachs and then going to Toastmasters every fortnight for three years. Joe Hart talks about England's Euro 2016 exit to Iceland without blaming a soul. Alun Wyn Jones explains why complacency was his biggest fear, and Laura Kenny shows why her story was never a solo effort, starting with setting fire to a jacket potato in Belgium at 18. Along the way, Damian brings in the research on "if-then" plans that help you follow through, the labels we let others stick on us, why growth mindset might matter less than we've been told, and the difference between harmonious and obsessive passion. Jake questions whether never having "done enough" is healthy at all, and explains why the people who made your life hardest helped shape you too.

What Is a Premier League Fan Actually Worth?

Are football clubs becoming too focused on tourists at the expense of loyal fans? Colin Murray and Natalie Pirks explore the battle between football's biggest commercial opportunity and the supporters who make the matchday experience worth selling, and ask how clubs can grow globally without losing what makes them special. With international visitors generating more than £1 billion for the UK economy in 2024, the stakes are clear. But how much is a club willing to sacrifice in the pursuit of more revenue?

What does the man who spent almost 20 years running the Premier League make of the biggest issues facing English football today?

Robin van Persie captained Arsenal and won the league with Manchester United, but for years he says his hardest opponent was himself. We re-visit our classic episode with Robin where he talks about the letter he wrote to himself that he didn't believe when he read it back, the childhood friends he let go at 24, the Arsenal exit he'd handle differently and the advice to his son that Jake calls the whole podcast in two minutes.

The Permission You're Waiting For Doesn't Exist

Most of us are waiting for someone to tell us we're ready. This week, Jake and Damian argue that moment never comes, and that the people we admire most simply stopped waiting. You'll hear from George Russell on the email to Toto Wolff that started his Mercedes journey, Robin Sharma on why it pays to be "a bit of a pirate", Alain de Botton on why the world is built by humans, not gods, and Adam Grant on the feedback that nearly made him quit public speaking. Francis Ngannou, Shane Parrish and Tom Kerridge unpack what it really means to take full ownership of your life, and Holly Tucker explains why there's never a perfect time to start. Along the way, Damian brings in the research on self-efficacy, why we underestimate how willing people are to help us, and why amateurs wait for inspiration while professionals just get on with it. Then Dame Amanda Blanc complicates everything: sometimes, all it takes is someone else believing in you first.

Is Alcohol Permission To Stop Performing in Sport?

Why is sport still drinking? For decades, alcohol has been part of sporting culture. Team nights out, beers after games and stories of legendary drinking sessions have become part of the mythology of elite sport. But is that culture changing? And if it is, what are we replacing it with? Jake and Damian explore why alcohol has played such a powerful role in sport, from helping teammates bond and break down hierarchy to simply giving people permission to switch off. They discuss the pressure of constant optimisation, why high performance can become exhausting, the darker side of celebrating destructive drinking stories, and what modern teams can do to create connection without relying on alcohol. They also explore what elite sport can learn from women's sport, the importance of shared experiences, and why sometimes the thing we need most is simply permission to stop performing. A conversation about alcohol, sport, connection, pressure and the importance of knowing when to switch off.

Usain Bolt: The Failure That Changed Everything

We're revisiting this extraordinary conversation with one of our most-requested conversations - Usain Bolt. Usain reveals the failures that changed the way he thought about performance, including the Olympics in Athens where he failed to make it out of the first round. He shares the moment his coach told him he simply wasn’t working hard enough, and the painful realisation that followed. Usain opens up about the power of consistency, learning how to lose, handling pressure, competing with scoliosis, dealing with global fame, and the mindset that helped him win eight Olympic gold medals. He also explains why he learned to “don’t think limits”, how he stayed calm before the biggest races of his life, and what high performance actually meant to him after dedicating his entire life to it.
