#26 – Shaunae’s Shorts, Bell’s Brilliance, and Highgate Hilarity: Our Latest Offering, Feat. Seb Coe Hello there, beloved listener, and welcome to our twenty-sixth episode.

| 2018-05-14 | Boston was bonkers, but so was Mary Keitany’s race plan in London. The first Diamond League of the year (which was grossly under-publicised, obv) produced some phenomenal performances, including by Caster Semenya, who’s been dragged into yet another te... |

#23 – What a Legend! What a Champion! … What a Relief: Cathy Freeman Interview Special We’ve not seen any of the Australian coverage of the Commonwealths, but – if the Gold Coast production team is anything like the BBC – they love showing historic montages of Aussie athletic greats (whilst there are field event and distance finals takin... |

#22 – Mixed Zone, Potential Medallists, and Moustaches: Trackside Snippets from the Gold Coast The Commonwealths have been stressful in a number of ways: four separate teams to follow for the usual Team GB stalwarts; deciding which will yield more Twitter traction – #GC2018 (lost amongst the masses?) or #GC2018Athletics (too specialist?); and th... |

#21 – Indoor Golds, Commonwealth Golds, and a Golden Coast: Welcoming in GC2018 Claire’s back in England, but Jody and Bayo have jetted off to the Gold Coast, where they’re representing the hallowed establishment of Track and Field News as Commonwealth Correspondents!

#20 – Pioneering, podiums, and philanthropy: ‘Gold Medal’ Mary Peters Interview Special Queen Mary The Great. When we contrived to bump into Mary Peters at the BAWA awards luncheon back in November, Jody told her he’d rather interview her than Usain Bolt, and – on this week’s pod – you’ll hear why. A lengthy and lofty career... |

#19 – Bowerman Babes, Fruit Loop Luck, and Avocado Anthems: Courtney Frerichs Interview Special 11th August 2017. London. Courtney Frerichs eats a bowl of fruit loops for breakfast. She lines up for the women’s steeplechase final, the word ‘Fearless’ inked temporarily upon her arm. She trusts implicitly in her coaches and sticks with Emma Coburn.... |

| 2018-02-20 | As fun as these descriptions are to write, the way to sell you on this episode is a list: a star-studded who’s-who of the athletes Jody spoke to at the 2018 British Indoor Champs, many of whom shrugged off the challenges of tight bends, injury... |

#17 – Singing, Sledding, and Soaring: Jaz Sawyers Interview Special Need a lawyer? An outstanding tongue-in-cheek cover of a Sheeran track? A Summer and/or Winter Olympic role model?
