  • Weekly highlight.

    Definitely my favourite rugby podcast. I did wonder how things would go when they lost a team member but BBTG has gone from strength to strength and the lads have built a great platform with their own format. The lads give an honest, informed review of each game and with input from fans via social media comments, chats with opposing team podcasters and updates from the Bears Women’s progress this is definitely as the lads say “The place for everything Bristol Bears”

    UPDATE.

    This is my favourite podcast and always listen to it without fail. The lads put a lot of effort into it and give honest feedback on the matches/club and all things Bears, whether positive or negative. Always interesting and informative and with the occasional surprise guest. Love it.
