27: Lockdown Grey Matter Evaluation - The Ultimate Quiz

This week, we talk about how our greatest loves blossomed. For some, it's the sublime experience of walking down the tunnel with some of English Rugby's legends. For others, it could be something as mundane as the intense mediocrity that was Spurs on Fifa 2005. We all have our love stories, come and listen to ours.  Photo credit: Rebel Arts Society

24: Saracens Salary Cap Scandal - The Return

This week we’re talking money money money. With exponentially rising transfer costs and player wages in football, we ask whether or not a salary cap system might be the way forward. We’ll visit Rugby Union, the NRL, the NFL and other places in between – questioning the efficacy of the caps and whether they really have a place in the modern sporting landscape.  Photo credit: www.saracens.com

Salary Caps - Are they Doomed, or do they encourage Savvy Spending?

This week, given that one of the titans of British sport has heavily hinted his *possible* retirement, we’re going to discuss the one and only Andy Murray. We'll look at his evolution both on the court and in the eyes of the tennis loving world, and we'll evaluate were he sits in the pantheon of British sporting Legends.  With us, is Ed Bowers, founder and creator of the fantastic Education 2 Sport website and podcast, an invaluable resource for all budding sport scientists and sport students looking for a career in the industry - be sure to check it out!

Moments of the Year 2018

This week, special guest Evie Harrison talks us through the fascinating world of mega-event legacies and youth engagement in sport, thanks to her expertise in sport policy and management.  We have a look into whether the 2012 Olympics was truly a success in inspiring a generation into taking up sport, or whether the promises sold in the Olympic bid were false.  Further, we discuss some of the fantastic work being done at both a local and national level in an attempt to get people from all backgrounds engaging in sport, what's failing and what can be done to improve it.
