    CHEMMY ALCOTT, Alpine Racer

    If you could bottle determination you’d want whatever Chemmy Crawford-Alcott (née Alcott) takes, such is her drive and ambition to achieve her objectives. The mum of 2 retired from Alpine ski racing almost a decade ago, but not before competing in 3 Olympics and 6 World Championships, bagging herself a bunch of broken bones along the way. Chemmy opens up to Tom and Simon about how she fought her way to the slopes to become Great Britain’s most successful female ski racer.

    PAULA DUNN, Pocket Rocket

    Paula Dunn is from arguably the last golden era of world athletics; when digital media wasn’t really a thing and football not so dominant. In the 1980s and early 90s, athletics was the sport that offered us the heroes and household names. The Olympics, Commonwealth Games, World Champs dominated TV screens, providing incredible moments from perhaps the purest form of physical competition. Paula was in that mix, competing at the big championships from where she would collect a medal haul that included five medals at the Commonwealth Games. Sport psychologist, Simon Hartley, picks up the conversation with the former GB 100m, 200m and sprint relay Olympian.

    DION DUBLIN, hammer time!

    You sometimes forget what a damn fine footballer this week’s Podium Podcast guest was, such is the skill with which Dion Dublin handles his current TV presenting and media pundit duties. But before Match of the Day & Homes Under the Hammer there was Aston Villa, Man Utd, Celtic and several other top-flight clubs. Tom May meets the former centre-forward that has made the transition to TV work look like a walk in the park.

    TONY UNDERWOOD, ultimate wingman

    You’d be forgiven for thinking this week’s Podium Podcast guest might have a somewhat inflated ego about them. A former commercial jet pilot – a Captain, no less - with some of the world’s biggest airlines and the recipient of more than a few international rugby union caps, a certain self-assuredness might even be understandable. But as Tony Underwood sits down with Tom and Simon, he shows nothing but modesty and humility. A warm and inviting character, he speaks openly and honestly, offering a fascinating insight into the experience that perhaps defines his (rugby) career more than any other: that 1995 Rugby World Cup semi-final against New Zealand, where a rampant Jonah Lomu got busy etching his name into rugby folklore.

    DANNY MILLS, on life after the Premier League

    From Norwich to Charlton, Leeds to Manchester City, Danny Mills has plied his trade across the English football map, clocking up close to 350 professional appearances for club and country in the process. Danny finally hung up his boots in 2009 at the age of 32, due to an ongoing knee injury. But that hasn’t stopped him from indulging his love for long-distance running. Tom and Simon sat down with Danny just before the 2023 London Marathon to discuss life after football.
