Howzat? 3.2 / 6 Being critical of Joe Wicks aka “The Body Coach” is like slagging off a puppy: it feels wrong. Especially if the puppy is opening up about his dad’s addiction and terrible childhood. But, fortunately for us, there’s not much balls-out criticism to be had here. Joe Wicks – the lad who

Howzat? 2.4 / 6 The QI podcast, ‘No Such Thing As A Fish’ (a title based on one of the more interesting facts on the TV show) is a true stalwart in podcast-land. And despite it being a very middle-class, middle-of-the-road show, it has performed consistently well – a little like the podcast version of

Howzat? 1.2 / 6 As any young content creator is told, it’s up to the audience to heap praise on whatever you decide to showcase to the world. It portrays class and humility, helping forge a stronger bond with an appreciative audience who want to keep coming back for more. ALT: there’s nothing worse than

Howzat? 3.9 / 6 As with most tabloid headlines, you shouldn’t be fooled by this one here. The “admission” by Rooney isn’t as explosive as it may first seem. In fact, this entire podcast is like that: more posturing than a posing postman, so-to-speak. We have to start with the man-brand himself, Gary Neville, and

What glory days these be. We have the T20 Cricket World Cup on-the-go and now, the European Championships start today too. To “celebrate”, let’s see what effort podcasters are putting out there… Football Weekly – “Euro 2024 preview: Groups E and F … including Portugal” Howzat? 4.9 / 6 The Guardian knows when it’s onto

Howzat? 3.9 / 6 Prelude: hearing the usually erudite Gary Lineker reading an ad for Pepsi Max at the beginning of the episode, sounding like a frightened school kid talking about what their parents do for a living in front of the whole school (“I’ll be enjoying the Euros with a Pepsi Max in hand”)

Copying Goalhanger’s playbook, Global have launched another in the ‘Agents’ podcast stable and this time they have pinched yet more presenter talent from the BBC in the form of sedentary stalwarts Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan. We don’t subscribe but by the sounds of this trailer, The Sports Agents should be a safe, albeit slightly

Howzat? 1.5 / 6 Oh bollocks, Wondery have done it again. For some reason, the podcasting powerhouse – owned by Amazon, of course – absolutely loves mixing scripted documentary formats with ad hoc, banterific chat but come off it guys, it sounds so, so… confusing. And that’s a little heartbreaking because on paper, this show

Howzat? 4.8 / 6 For those of you who loved listening to ‘Quickly Kevin, Will He Score?’ there is hope here that this new show, which graduates from following soccer fandom in the 1990s to the 2000s, will live up to expectations and fill a hole now that comedian Josh Widdicombe has

Howzat? 3.0 / 6 Don’t let the fact that professional rugby player Joe Marler hosts this show fool you – it isn’t a rugby-based podcast. There’s no statistical analysis of the Premiership here. Rather, this is the Radio 1 breakfast show regenerated for the 2020s but with a lingering aftertaste of humour anchored in the
