The sport podcast you never knew you needed... If you like your sports talk laced with obscure (mainly eighties and nineties) references, wild tangents and lots of random lists, you’ll find a home here. Music by Tom.
S1 Ep12b (not 13). Hello to our Dutch listeners!
In this season finale we ramble through the usual mix of sports chat, with added poetry! Our final Gold/Silver/Bronze Dean Macey of the season is all about sports people we love to hate. As well as offending the nation of Holland (11.56) we delve into some irrational hatred (25.00) and some notable loathsome coaches (35.00 & 53.00). We close the episode with some Olympics (1.00.02) and Lions rugby tour chat (1.17.20) before rounding up some season highlights (1.23.27). Sports mentioned in this episode: Football, rugby, snooker, cricket, tennis, gymnastics, BMX, triathlon, skateboarding.

S1 Ep11. Basically Escape to Victory
In this edition we take you through notably unusual scorelines in sport; from a surprise Ashes demolition (4.50) to a humiliating football thrashing (8.25) goal fests (12.30) and cricketing ludicrousness (21.55).

S1 Ep10. Didn’t exactly clamp down on it
Sporting notoriety dominates this pod. We start this bumper edition with a Gold-Silver-Bronze-Dean Macey (1.58) of sporting moments that cover the ridiculous (7.06) the dark (17.43) and well... Mike Tyson (37.35). We then delve through the annals of European football championships past (47.00), from duds like the 2012 (51.22) edition to classics like Euro96 (1.01.03) as we preview Euro 2020. Sports mentioned in this episode: Football, cricket, cycling, rugby league, boxing.

S1 Ep9. Roy of the Rovers stuff
Serving suggestion: this episode is best enjoyed accompanied by YouTube. There’s goals, goals and more goals as we whittle our all time favourites down to a podium (plus 1) of belters (3.25). Then there’s just about time to race through some news (1.01.37) before dodgy connection issues get the better of us leaving Alex to end the show minus the company of Tom. Enjoy! Sports mentioned in this episode: football, golf, F1, baseball, Olympics.

S1 Ep8. A bit horrified
What rules should be changed in sport? We’ll answer this important question (2.45) in this edition of the Frankly, Who Cares? podcast. We open up our listener mailbag (41.29), reflect on a premonition from our first episode (53.50) that has eerily come to pass and we discuss an unlikely (and apparently unfair) one-side international rugby feud (56.10). And what’s the big disappointment in what has been an otherwise excellent start to the Formula 1 season (1.00.31)? Listen and find out. Sports mentioned in this episode: Football, boxing, cricket, rugby, snooker, athletics, tennis, F1.

S1 Ep7 The tennis match that lasted longer than the ESL
In this edition we run through the news (3.57) before the ill-fated European Super League (13.50) suffers its final indignity as apologies (25.00) are analysed and fitting punishments (35.02) dished out to The Terrible Twelve. And the pain continues as we select our top three soul-crushing sporting defeats and crown this week’s Dean Macey (42.08). Sports mentioned in this episode: Baseball, football, NFL, winter sports (short-track speed skating), rugby, tennis.

S1 Ep5. As peak Scotland as humanly possible
In this episode Tom finds an excuse to gloat about the Scotland rugby team and Alex’s obsession with Serena Williams’ fame continues to know no bounds. We steer our way through four reasons why you should watch Formula this season. And Gold-Silver-Bronze-Dean Macey provides our toughest challenge yet - selecting a podium of failures from a bumper crop of sporting flops.
