In this 3 part series - in partnership with SRI - The Captain & Roger are joined by Annamarie Phelps, Chairman of the British Horseracing Authority, Jo Coates - CEO of U.K. Athletics and David James - Managing Partner at SRI talking about the challenges and opportunities facing the world of sport today.

The lads enjoy lunch break discussing Springsteen, celeb sponsorship, taking money from the vice industries, closed leagues, and so much more. An hour's debate, not taken too seriously. 

Grant and Roger discuss India, cricket, captains, Disney+, fantasy, meme culture, Mahomes, golf distances, and silent Olympics crowds.

The lads are joined by Pat Nevin to discuss how music and football intertwined in his career. Songs that changed lives, concerts missed still regretted, how the Walkman changed dressing room culture forever. 

Wales & British & Irish Lion Centre - Jamie Roberts joins The Captain this week to share his love of sport.  A life long Manchester United supporter,  a qualified medic and watch collector - he shares with his host his deep ineptitude for golf in the most public arena - Wentworth Golf Club!

The lads welcome ESPN's Gabriele Marcotti to talk about the seismic changes in global sport, its media, and its fandom. How far is sport moving into the entertainment and lifestyle business, and should we be concerned? What future for his own sports journalism?

Giles and Roger got on a call with 3 true experts in data and risk management, from Zone7, Pumpjack Dataworks, and Control Risks. We just pressed record and called the episode The Repricing of Sports Risk.

Grant and Roger discuss verbal abuse in sport and is it ever justified? The Lions on British soil? Subscription models and so much more.

One of our favourite guests - European Tour golfer Eddie Pepperell - makes his debut on board the Rive Gauche this week.  Forthright and independent of mind - he is vastly good company on your voyage down the coast of Africa.

Part Two of the first episode of Bitter Sweet Symphony where #AYNE is hoping to explore in depth the links between sport and music, speaking to the insiders and stars. We immediately thought of the legendary music journalist Billy Sloan, and his lifetime of friendships and stories with the biggest names.
