Episode 8: The Monaco Grand Prix - The Jewel in the Formula 1 Crown

Jack and Ben are in the glamour and glitz of Monaco this week for the 82nd running of the most famous race on the Formula 1 calendar - The Monaco Grand Prix.

Expect more mentions of crashes and failures than of overtaking as they discuss the merits and criticisms of wide cars racing around narrow streets - it is a race that simply wouldn't exist if it wasn't for its history. But what a history it is...

From crashes into the harbour, mysterious first winners with incredible backstories, the dominance of Graham Hill and the emergence of Ayrton Senna, through to races no one wanted to win, others stopped too early and a home town hero coming good after years of toil. Monaco somehow both never fails to deliver even whilst so often being a procession.

This is the Monaco paradox: a race that's deeply flawed, yet emotionally irresistible.

So fire up your engines, roar past Casino Square and prepare yourself for the bright light of the Nouvelle Chicane, this is an event like no other through the unforgiving, untouchable and unforgettable streets of Monaco.

Episode 7: The Men's and Women's FA Cup Finals - Of Dreamers and Giant Killers

After three weeks over the Atlantic, Jack and Ben are back in Blighty ahead of the 144th Men's and 55th Women's FA Cup Finals.

There's no fairytale like the FA Cup. It is where semi-professional players line up against the gods of the game on equal footing, where one drop of the hip or one act of bravery can make you immortal, and where there are no impossible outcomes if you believe in the magic of the Cup.

From giant killers to last second winners, from lionhearts to lionesses, the Cup delivers drama like nothing else. So warm up your voice for Abide With Me, and join us on the climb up the Wembley steps to grab the greatest and most beloved trophy in football together.

Episode 6: The NHL Playoffs and Ice Hockey World Championships – Goals, Goons, Graft and Glory.

This week, we're checking out one of the toughest sports on the planet – ice hockey, home to the brawling, bruising, toothless titans of the rink. Jack and Ben skate through the NHL Playoffs, where 16 teams chase the (quite literally) biggest trophy in the sport: the Stanley Cup. Meanwhile, across the globe, another 16 nations face-off for international glory at the IIHF World Championship in Sweden and Denmark.

We explore hockey’s wild history, from mysterious origin stories and fearsome enforcers to, somehow again, Kentucky Derby winners. We unpack the unwritten rules, the culture of fighting, and the darker toll of the game - including the growing conversation around CTE and player safety, illustrated through the turbulent highs and tragic lows of the legendary Bob Probert.

There's even a Cold War era subplot, with tales of invasion, rebellion, and the unifying power of sport in the face of oppression. So lace up and tune in – this is ice hockey like you’ve never heard it before.
