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.

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.  My guest today is Frank Lampard. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
