Episode 13: The Wimbledon Championships - The Noble Pursuit of Immortality

Episode 12: The British & Irish Lions: The Power of Four

"Let's be the best at everything that requires no talent."

Paul O'Connell, 2009 Lions Captain.

Enemies in March. Teammates in June.

Once every four years, the British & Irish Lions unite four fierce rivals from two nations under a single red jersey. They set aside history, pride and borders to become something greater - and take that fight across the globe in pursuit of glory.

They ride on the shoulders of giants - legends of rugby and, sometimes, of war. None looms so large as Robert Blair "Paddy" Mayne: 20 matches in one epic summer on the 1938 tour - then a leap into legend as one of the most decorated soldiers in British military history. A founding member of the SAS, his story is so wild that fact and myth blur into one, and neither detracts from the other.

Ahead of the 2025 Tour to Australia, we explore the Lions’ proudest moments, the origins of the red jersey, the future of the tour, and the icons who’ve defined it, on the pitch and beyond.

If you're even a fraction as excited as we are, this is your episode.

Episode 11: The 24 Hours of Le Mans - Triomphe et Désastre

The history of Le Mans is the history of motor racing. From hosting the first Grand Prix in 1906 to creating the world’s greatest endurance race in 1923, the 24 Hours of Le Mans has been run 92 times over 102 years - and in that time, it has showcased the cutting edge of automotive technology, the sport’s most iconic drivers, and seen some of the greatest races ever.

But it has also borne witness to tragedy.

In this episode, Jack and Ben delve into the unique and dramatic history of this legendary event - highlighting not only its triumphs, but also the oversights, complacency, and closed-mindedness that led to the 1955 Le Mans disaster, when a horrific accident claimed the lives of at least 84 people. It remains the deadliest incident in the history of motorsport - and it was entirely avoidable.

Along the way, they explore the legends of Jacky Ickx, Jaguar, Mercedes, Ferrari, Ford, and a proud tradition of female participation. Because to win at Le Mans, a driver must be fit, focused, fearless - and ready to take on a circuit that has given so much to the sport, but taken just as much in return.
