Michael Cheika

My guest today is one of the most recognisable rugby coaches in the world. A Rugby Union player turned coach, and only man to have won the major domestic competition in each hemisphere, he currently coaches the English Premiership’s Leicester Tigers. Five years later, in an emotional and personal decision, he code-switched to Rugby League to coach the team of his parents’ home-nation, Lebanon. A decision which led him to be dubbed “the busiest man in rugby” as he simultaneously coached Lebanon’s League team and Argentina’s Union team. My guest today is Michael Cheika. Hosted on Acast.

Carol Vorderman

My guest today likes to describe herself as “just an old bird with an iPhone”. But there’s no need to be so humble. From Countdown to drawing the ire of members of the Conservative government, she’s always trodden her own path. Her new book, Now What? On a Mission to Fix a Broken Britain, details this journey into the political. My guest today is Carol Vorderman. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Max Fosh

To call him, simply, an ‘internet prankster/comedian’ would be accurate, but perhaps a disservice. He ran for London Mayor, competed in Mr Universe with no training, and became the richest man in the world - for seven minutes. An exemplar of the changing face of fame in modern Britain, he’s now going on his first international tour, Loophole. Our guest today is Max Fosh. Hosted on Acast.

AJ Tracey

You can’t tell the story of UK Rap without mentioning Dizzy Rascal, Wiley, Stormzy and my guest today. Born and raised in a street that would provide the name of his debut record’s smash hit, Ladbroke Grove, he’d go on to achieve five platinum singles and 2 billion Spotify plays. And, he did it all as an independent artist in an industry monopolised by major labels. My guest today is the microphone champ, AJ Tracey. Hosted on Acast.

Frank Lampard

As a footballer, his record speaks for itself. But, his career as player-turned-manager is a knot of competing narratives. A Romford-boy-done-good, a manager dealt a string of poor cards, or a player propelled by Premier League plutocracy. As always, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Kabaka Pyramid

From his hometown of Kingston, Jamaica, to the stage of BoomTown, UK, my guest today is an international, billboard top ten charting musician, known for his combination of the sounds of Reggae and dancehall with the lyricism of Hip hop. In February this year, his third album The Kalling won him his first Grammy, beating out fellow nominees Sean Paul and Shaggy for Best Reggae Album. Described as part of the Reggae Revival, he’s collaborated with the biggest names in the genre, from Damien Marley to Peter Tosh. With singles entitled “Never Gonna Be a Slave”, “Stand Up”, and “No Capitalist”, his music is often political, and always resonant. My guest today is Kabaka Pyramid. Hosted on Acast.

Caroline Lucas

My guest today is the Green Party’s highest-profile member, serving both as a member of the European Parliament and then, in 2010, as the Greens’ first - and only - MP. A dedicated activist, as well as politician, her achievements include being the three time winner of Politician of The Year at The Observer’s Ethical Awards; championing animal, worker, LGBTQ+, and women’s rights - as well as a couple of arrests. But, in June this year, she announced that she would not be seeking re-election to the House of Commons. My guest today is Dr Caroline Lucas. Hosted on Acast.

Tim Peake

My guest today was, by his own admission, an unexceptional student from an unexceptional suburb. But, at age 43, he’d achieve the extraordinary - becoming the first Briton to visit the International Space Station. Last month, it was reported that my guest was coming out of retirement to lead the UK’s first astronaut mission. It follows the release of his new book, Space: The Human Story, which traces the lives of the men and women who left the earth’s atmosphere before him, forging a path that made his own spacewalk possible.

Semi-serious runner

Then you’ll be hooked and have to listen to the rest, some of the best are not the ones you might expect. Would love to see Paul Sinton-Hewitt on here.
Keep Lammy!

The guests alone could have made this a 5-Star podcast. They’ve had some excellent people on with plenty of interesting things to say. Sadly it’s heavily let down by the host. James O’Brien is excellent at running rings around people who aren’t very clever on talk radio but put him in a room with intelligent people with a story to tell and he’s embarrassingly out of his depth. You will find yourself shouting “shut up and let them speak!” At least once an episode.

I enjoy the way casual and funny mode of the whole podcast. Interesting questions posed to quite interesting people. Hopefully we get more variety of people on here
Keeps cutting off guests

Sorry to say (cos he has some great guests) but what an absolutely irritating interviewer. Keeps endlessly cutting off and speaking over guests answers to his questions!! Rude and self absorbed. Doesn’t even seem interested in what his guests have to say - just in his own opining.
