  • Shameful

    The old episodes with Jack Marley? Excellent.

    The BBC resurrecting the corpse of this podcast and handing it over to Nicola Adams while still using the same feed and carrying the same positive reviews built up by Jack’s hard work? Disgraceful.

  • Used to be great but now meh

    With the previous host, this was an engaging podcast with interesting discussions with varied interviewees which was enjoyable.

    Now with the current host it has a different feel- it doesn’t feel as engaging and lacking a certain spark.

    Not worth a listen anymore.

  • Bit late to the party, but catching up

    Only recently picked up on this. It’s been going since 2018 so I’m playing catch-up. I’m not a sports fan per se, but it is generally an engaging listen which would explain why I’ve listened to a couple of months worth in the last week

Ask Nicola
Q: With your ADHD, how have you managed it?

Ask Nicola
Q: How do you navigate what you do next?
I think when I first retired from boxing, it was quite difficult. I had always wanted to be an actor, so now was my chance to focus on that.
