01 30 for 30 Podcasts
The award winning audio offshoot of ESPN’s trophy laden documentary series explores “how sports, competition, athleticism and adventure affect our lives”. Series seven, ‘Heavy Medals’, dives into the decorated but abusive regimes of former US gymnastics coaches Béla and Márta Károlyi, while ‘March 11’ is about the day coronavirus shut down the NBA and changed normality.
02 The Food Chain
Serving up 30-minute digests on “the business, science and cultural significance of food”, this BBC World Service podcast gets its teeth into a range of subjects that can only be described as a smorgasbord: how to feed footballers and extreme endurance athletes, the debates around ultra processed and gene-edited food, supersized-up portion distortion and America’s “food apartheid”. Plus, famous chefs Raymond Blanc, Nigella Lawson and Yotam Ottolenghi tell their life stories in five dishes.
03 The Runner’s World Podcast
Like running? Like podcasts? Then prescribes this “indispensable weekly dose of all things running”.
