  • Hovis codger drives me nuts!

    Without doubt the most irritating podcast in horse racing. Basically a bunch of old men complaining about how rubbish everything is. The host, Keys, apart from his strange north-eastern accent is ok, but his two sidekicks are dreadful. An Essex boy who thinks he’s the funniest chap on earth and the most miserable old codger you could ever hear and who sounds like the voiceover for a Hovis advert from 50 years ago “eee he were a grrrreeeeaaat bear-ker were me dad”… wouldn’t surprise me if it was ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep542 Sunday Sermon - The Finale
Q: Chris, do you agree with John on this?
I kind of do. He's not an unchallenged man... the various interest groups, you know, the people who operate purely out of self-interest.
Ep542 Sunday Sermon - The Finale
Q: John, anything you'd like to add to what I've said in regards to the reason for this podcast?
I think we've come to the point where we can't see a win because nobody's prepared to act on anything we've suggested.
Ep536 Sunday Sermon - Potatoes with Stephen Darbyshire
Q: Stephen, what's the one major change you would implement in racing if you had the opportunity?
Just give me the fiction list for a bloody day, and I'll sort it out. It really does need sorting out.
Ep536 Sunday Sermon - Potatoes with Stephen Darbyshire
Q: What do you think, viewers?
Well, it depends who it is, doesn't it?
Ep536 Sunday Sermon - Potatoes with Stephen Darbyshire
Q: Would you have any views on that?
You know, I mean, it's a question of what time you bet at, but let's face it, prize money has been that crap for the last 20, 25 years.
