    From Kolkata to Cardiff: An Interview with Bhavya Doshi (Episode 161)

    Tell us what you think of this episode Bhavya Dhoshi left his home in cricket-mad Kolkata to study media at Cardiff Metropolitan University. He is now a key member of Glamorgan’s media team. The podcast caught up with him before Christmas to talk about the interesting times ahead for the county and for Welsh Fire under the new joint ownership of Glamorgan and Washington Freedom.  He also shared insights in what it is like to do media interviews and clips for Glamorgan – and which Glamorgan players are the most fun to work with! And he talked about his love of St Fagans Cricket Club. But, to begin, Bhavya offered a fascinating insight in the culture of cricket back home in India. Presented by Greg Lewis.

    Batting with Boycott: Dr David Owen OBE (Episode 158)

    Tell us what you think of this episode  The medical research carried out by Dr David Owen OBE into Parkinson’s Disease has helped countless people around the world.  But, away of the lab, it’s a love of cricket which has kept him going.  And that includes a vivid memory of a hundred partnership he shared with Geoffrey Boycott in the 1980s. It’s a great story and as Dr Owen notes, “he was as difficult as one might have imagined!”.  In this episode, Dr Owen shares his memories of that innings and subsequent meetings with Boycott, and much more: watching Don Shepherd versus Richie Benaud, chatting to Wes Hall about one special match, playing with Peter May, and umpiring Stuart Broad and Samit Patel.  Presented by Greg Lewis.

    Glamorgan's Oldest Follower (Episode 157)

    Tell us what you think of this episode  It was 1956 when Dr Subrahmanyam Ganesh arrived in Wales from India to work in the NHS.  He was already a fan of Glamorgan, having followed their 1948 County Championship win on the radio. Wilf Wooller was one of his favourite players.  On leaving India, his father told him: “Don't be a stranger in your adopted country. Become a useful member of the community and give something back in return.”  This he did – and more! He became a much-respected GP in Merthyr Tydfil (even attending the terrible aftermath of the Aberfan disaster), a long-standing Rotarian, and a dedicated follower of Glamorgan CCC.  Now 96, he made it to every Glammy home game of the 2025 season.  Presented by Greg Lewis.
