McLaren boss Zak Brown: "Verstappen belongs in a horror movie!" Nov 27, 2025

Show notes

Another season of F1 drama comes to an end this weekend as McLaren's Lando Norris has the chance to be crowned world champion. And the man who’s masterminded it all - McLaren CEO Zak Brown is with us today.

After the double disqualification in Las Vegas from a 0.07mm error, Max Verstappen’s impossible late charge, and the season-long battle with team-mate Oscar Piastri, there's plenty for us to talk about.

Does Zak secretly have a favourite driver? How did Zak go from winning Wheel of Fortune as a kid to orchestrating McLaren’s resurgence from no wins in 9 years to back-to-back team titles? And how worried is he that Max Verstappen could still spoil the party?

Plus Gabby and Mark react to a great week for Chelsea and Arsenal in the Champions League and the similarities between Mourinho's legendary Blues team and Arteta's Gunners ahead of this weekend's top of the table clash. Plus, the shambolic Women's League Cup draw with sexual references and dropped balls (no pun intended!), and World Cup winner Abby Dow's shock retirement from rugby aged just 28.

"Seven Tenths of A Second" by Zak Brown is out now: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/474266/seven-tenths-of-a-second-by-brown-zak/9780241788929

Why can't we just let Liverpool grieve? Nov 25, 2025

Show notes

It's been 60 years since Liverpool last had back-to-back 3-0 defeats in the league, and with only three wins in the last 11 games, Arne Slot has got his work cut out. Aside from all the on-pitch factors, there's one thing Liverpool are contending with that can't be underestimated - grief.

Diogo Jota’s tragic death, in a car accident last July, prompted a summer of grief. Just one month later Liverpool started their Premier League campaign.

So, on today's podcast Gabby and Mark are joined by former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock and sports psychotherapist at Cognacity, Gary Bloom. Has football got any better at talking about grief? What’s the psychology behind grieving in a high-performance sporting environment? Would fans accept this season as a write off? And how do players express what they’re going through without it coming across as an excuse?

Plus, Gabby and Mark react to England's collapse in the first Ashes Test and England's clean sweep in rugby's Autumn Internationals.

Did Sky Sports axe 'Halo' TikTok too fast? Nov 21, 2025

Show notes

Only three days after launching, Sky had to take down its TikTok channel for female sports fans. Branded as the "lil-sis" of Sky Sports, it was complete with pink hearts and Barbies.

But were they on to something? How do we get more young women hooked on sport? The person who figures that out has hit a goldmine.

To try to strike gold, Gabby chats to Chris Paouros, Vice-Chair of the Football Supporters Association, and Ceylon Andi Hickman, Deputy Chief Executive of Football Beyond Borders.

Plus we look back at this week on The Sports Agents, from illegal streaming wars to The Ashes.

How to win The Ashes Down Under Nov 20, 2025

Show notes

It's the Ashes this weekend! Gabby and Mark relive their favourite Ashes memories and welcome three-time Ashes winner, Steven Finn.

England’s men last won the Ashes in Australia 15 years ago, in fact it’s been a decade since England even held The Ashes - and Finn was key to both of those victories.

Does Finn think England can turn the tide this time? And how did he go from being declared "unselectable" to taking 8 wickets at Edgbaston?

REPLAY - Bodyline: the Ashes that sparked a global crisis - How It All Played Out Nov 19, 2025

Show notes

"If we don't beat you, we'll knock your bloody blocks off"

In one of the most bitter and controversial Ashes series ever played, England set their sights on taking down Australian cricketing legend Don Bradman. Their method? A brutal, calculated strategy known as Bodyline - a tactic so aggressive it sparked outrage, strained diplomatic ties, and forever changed the spirit of the game.

In this episode of How It All Played Out, Mark Pougatch and Paul Hayward take you back to 1932 - was Bodyline a genius strategy or just plain unsporting? And why did it cause such a deep rift between two cricketing giants?

Piracy, 'Premflix' & 3PM blackout: Can fans win illegal streaming war? Nov 18, 2025

Show notes

Do you stream sport illegally? Most people know someone who does: almost 5 million people streamed live sport illegally in the UK in the last 6 months alone.

It's cheaper than Premier League tickets or official streaming services, and you can watch the 3pm blackout games - but the risk of data theft, cyber crime, and funding criminal activity are all too real.

To find out more, Gabby's joined by Andy Hughes, co-host of The Crime Agents, and The Athletic's Adam Leventhal. So, when the police force are already stretched to the limit, what's the solution? A "Premflix" style streaming service? Scrap the 3pm blackout? Or dare we say, Saudi money?

Sir Mark Cavendish: "They wrote me off but I’m a born racer" Nov 14, 2025

Show notes

Never write off a born racer: Sir Mark Cavendish had won 30 stages of the world's biggest cycling race, The Tour de France (even winning one makes a riders career) but he'd been out of the game for 5 years - so no one would give him a job. What happened next was one of the biggest comebacks of all time to put him among the sporting greats.

Sir Mark Cavendish joins us on today's show - how did it feel to be written off? Was it fair to call him a “dickhead” as a racer? And after childhood success in ballroom dancing - is Strictly next?

Plus the best bits from The Sports Agents this week - is ChatGPT running your team? And why risk staging Eubank v Benn 2?

Eubank v Benn 2: Why risk it? Nov 13, 2025

Show notes

This weekend it's the latest chapter in the family feud as Conor Benn takes on Chris Eubank Jr, for a rematch after the sensational first fight in April.

But unlike their dads, Conor and Chris Jr don't naturally fight at the same weight and there's a controversial clause that could leave Eubank Jr dangerously dehydrated.

So is it safe to stage this fight again? Is it British boxing rivalry getting back to it's best? Or is boxing trying to fill a void if the next best thing is Anthony Joshua v Jake Paul? Gabby and Mark catch up with broadcaster Ade Oladipo and Robert Smith, General Secretary of the British Boxing Board of Control.

Plus, why are both Thomas Tuchel and Steve Borthwick steering away from the stars? And does Gabby think the L.A. Olympics 100m final should be hosted on the opening day?
