The Kyle Walker Podcast

Kyle Walker returns with season 2 of his podcast but much has changed: a new club, a new league and a new country.

Join Kyle and his good mate, former Man City, Tottenham and Sheff Utd midfielder Michael Brown, as he takes us through life at one of the world’s most historic and glamorous clubs: AC Milan.

He reveals the challenges as he adapts to La Dolce Vita in Italy, while continuing to discuss what it’s like taking on some of the world’s top players and teams at the very highest level. Can he help Milan return to the Champions League? How different is Serie A to the Premier League and will he learn to speak Italian?

Kyle will continue to give his thoughts on the latest football news from England and be joined by some of his good mates from his time in the game.
This season, Kyle and Browny are also doing some special Q&A episodes. If you’ve ever wanted to ask an elite player a question about the game, about a footballer’s life or what it’s really like to come up against Messi, M’Bappe, Vinicius Jr and the rest, email KyleWalker@bbc.co.uk.

Christmas as a Footballer: The Games, The Cold and The Parties Dec 18, 2024

Show notes

It’s Christmas (almost) so Kyle, Browny and Chris have got their paper hats on and are talking about what the festive season is like for Premier League players: how much are they really allowed to eat on Christmas Day? Which manager was a bit of a Scrooge? And what gift do you buy for a footballer?

Browny reveals what used to go on at Christmas parties in his playing days and recalls some of the fancy dress outfits he wore, while Kyle explains why the days of footballers going out in the centre of town have become impossible. They also chat about snoods, Browny’s sleigh and the Christmas legend who lives at the end of Kyle’s road.

Training Day: Pep’s Office, Sauna Club and Riyad’s Pasta Dec 11, 2024

Show notes

What does Pep Guardiola’s office smell like? Who’s in the Man City and England Sauna Clubs? And why did Riyad Mahrez have his own pasta?

Kyle is taking us into the inner sanctum in this episode of the pod as we learn what really goes on at a Premier League club training ground. He reveals how often Pep is on the training ground, what they chat about in their one-on-ones and why the gaffer’s office always smells so nice.

We learn what footballers keep in their lockers and how one QPR player’s bad breath led to his being messed with. We hear about the hi-tech equipment required to keep elite athletes going like cryogenic chambers and recovery pods, while Browny recalls the old days when the communal bath would become an impromptu diving pool.

We also get taken through a regular week at Manchester City: how long they train for, why insomnia is a problem after games and which is the most important training session of the week.

And for the first time, a listener is invited into the studio to prove if they can really beat Kyle Walker. But who will prevail in the Three Cracker Challenge?

Captains Oct 23, 2024

Show notes

Chris is on holiday this week, so Kyle and Michael are taking the armband - quite literally - as they discuss what it's like to a lead a team. They're joined by the former Everton and England skipper Phil Jagielka to discuss what makes a great captain and why.

The trio look back on their careers as leaders and whether they were made or moulded; who their leadership heroes were; the best captains they played under - and the worst - what it's like to face up the media as the skipper; when can you be a friend to your teammates and when you have to be the police; and what sort of responsibilities a modern leader has when the manager takes control of so much of the on-pitch decision making.

Phil and Kyle discuss leadership roles at international level and how that differs from being a club captain, and then the current Manchester City skipper talks about the responsibility of taking over the armband of the Premier League champions, the legacy his predecessors left him at the Etihad, and what it was like to raise that trophy above his head at the end of last season.

Thomas Tuchel Announced and can YOU beat Kyle Walker? Oct 17, 2024

They also bring listeners the huge news that the podcast now has an email address - icanbeatkylewalker@bbc.co.uk - a place for people to get in touch with their questions for Kyle, and to tell the world what they think they can beat him at.

Away Days Oct 09, 2024

Show notes

On this week's episode, Kyle, Chris and Michael Brown discuss the best and worst away days for a footballer. From intimidating grounds and tight dressing rooms, to travel and pre-match meals, the trio dig into the weeds to find out what happens when a team plays away from home. Kyle discusses what it's like to be out of the country for long periods of time during pre-season tours and international tournaments, and what devices modern players use to quell the boredom. From petting dogs to Playstations, it's a fascinating insight into what happens when you're away from home for as much as five weeks at a time. They discuss the best and worst journeys to away grounds, notably an occasion when Kyle was playing for Spurs where there was a very difficult moment on a plane heading to Sunderland which forced one teammate to decide to take a taxi home to London from the north east rather than board a plane again. They talk best and worst roommates: don't room with Jimmy Bullard; the most intimidating grounds both in England and abroad, and why playing small teams in the FA Cup is unmatched. And the episode ends with a chaotic quiz to see whether Michael can really beat Kyle Walker when it comes to a very specific question set by Chris.

To listen on most smart speakers just say “ask BBC Sounds to play You'll Never Beat Kyle Walker”
