More from Sporting Misadventures with Chris Hoy
Gladiators was this week's guest's first big break which spawned into a career as a TV presenter before taking on stand-up comedy. She joined the podcast to talk about her pathway into comedy, her past swimming career, presenting at London 2012 and much much more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The Wimbledon fortnight is getting under way and what better than a trip down memory lane with one of our favourite former guests, Andy Murray. The two-Wimbledon champion is coaching fellow Brit Jack Draper at the tournament, and joined us to talk drugs tests and skiing trips gone wrong and much, much more besides. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The punmaster is in the hot seat this week hitting us with joke after joke in quick succession from the pole vault to acupuncture. By his own admission, not a natural sportsman at school he was picked last at football and runs like Phoebe from Friends. Now this one was recorded a long old time ago, and you can catch him at the Edinburgh Fringe this summer. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week Chris has found himself in the wars again with a torn meniscus in his knee. Despite that, he's still cycling from San Sebastian to Barcelona with five-time Tour de France winner Miguel Indurain for Laureus. He and Matt chat about that journey and compare notes on comedy favourites. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Joining us from The Room Next Door is this week's guest, who leapt into our lives during Covid as our favourite political advisor. Put off sport growing up by roaring older brothers, he talks Monty Python versus Match of the Day, the trauma of school PE and avoiding rugby simply by wearing glasses. Hosted on Acast.
