Chris Cracknell: The enemy has landed

Socks and sandals, love for Trump and damp proof membranes

We’re back! After a summer of house demolitions, illegal trips to America, and questionable fashion choices, we’ve returned to get you hyped for the winter season. Tune in to hear about Tim's adventures at the F1 and his disastrous shed build, plus Jenny's surfing escapades and what we’re looking forward to this winter.

Your Mum said...

Alright shredders, grab a drink and settle in! Ollie and Tim are back (minus Jenny, who is definitely not dead this time, just famous and busy... probably). This week, the lads tackle: * The Universal Truth: Why does your mum always tell you that you look tired? Is there a more derailing comment known to humankind? * Influencers on Mud: Ollie kicks things off with a rant about ski influencers grinding down rocky, snowless slopes. Tim gets genuinely angry. Are they cool? (Spoiler: No). Is it like fingernails on a blackboard? (Spoiler: Yes). * Mayrhofen Musings: Tim's been hitting the surprisingly good snow in Mayrhofen and shares tales of: * The daredevil Penkenbahn lift – and the legendary (maybe?) story of why it has a bend in it (hint: it involves a bar). * Developing a sudden fear of chairlifts – sweaty palms included! * The slightly terrifying "call of the void" high above the ground. * Need for (Sideways) Speed: Tim straps on his board, points it downhill sideways, and clocks a frankly ludicrous 40.2 mph on his heel edge. Were his legs okay? Did anyone else witness this madness? * The Mayrhofen Birthday Curse: Is April 8th in Mayrhofen cursed for Tim's mate Gendle? Hear the tale of three birthdays, three injuries. Ouch. * NEWS TIME! * The Brits are BACK! A recap of the British Ski & Snowboard Champs returning to Mayrhofen after 6 years. Big up the organisers! * Meet Riley Sharp: The 10-YEAR-OLD prodigy who swept the slope style, big air, and rail jam titles. What's his coach's secret? (Maybe lawnmowers?). * Gutting News: Charlotte Banks' season ends early with a broken collarbone. Heal up fast, Charlotte! * World Champs Wrap: Quick thoughts on the World Champs, Jenny's apparently quite good commentary (don't tell her we said that), and Mia Brookes' awesome season. * MUST WATCH: Cody Bramble absolutely sent it at the Freeride World Tour final on the Bec des Rosses. Backflips in no-fall zones? Yes please. Link to watch Cody's insane run: CODY: https://www.freerideworldtour.com/news-videos/cody-bramwell-snowboard-men-winning-run-2025-yeti-xtreme-verbier-by-honda/ * Late Season Shredding: Thinking of squeezing in one last trip? The glaciers are calling, and Tim reckons the snow could be good well into May. Stay tuned for tips next week! * URGENT PSA - APPLE PODCASTS: If you listen on Apple, PLEASE RESUBSCRIBE! Ollie did something clever (or possibly disastrous) and all our lovely reviews got deleted. Leave us a new one! Pretty please? Get In Touch! We want your mountain stories, especially the ones mocking Ollie. * Email: theaprespod@gmail.com * Insta: @theaprespod Subscribe, leave that (new) review, and tell your mates! Jenny might be back next week... Catch you on the flip side!

What is Jenny's medal really worth?

Chemmy Alcott: Smashed up shins and grooming slopes feat. Special Guest!

Wow now, what’s this. Not one guest but TWO! Sure, one of them introduced themselves in a questionable way, but let’s gloss over that. You’ll be treated in this episode to the untameable energy of British ski legend and friend of the show, Chemmy Alcott and why she’s more than irritated at a price hike to watch skiing on TV. You’ll also hear from Tom Arthur, a groomer (piste basher driver) based out in Whistler Blackcomb. Tom reached out to us to “set the record straight” because we may or may not have said something about groomers. He did more than set the record straight though, as you’ll hear. This is an independent podcast. I’m doing this now while my daughter is screaming upstairs about not having the right pyjamas or something.
