  • CLASSIC - This is it. I'm going to watch my Dad get killed now on a rugby pitch! - Stephen Corlett - #18
    Apr 19 2026

    'Taff' and I played together for many years - bound up in the front row for both Old Colfeians and Kent.

    This interview was recorded November of 2019 in Amsterdam, where he's now living, to discuss a multitude of topics and some favourite stories ranging from why amateur rugby is a hotbed of creative thinking through to the magic of touring and the mysterious legend of the Kakadu Gnat.

  • CLASSIC - And I worked out, I'd played for the only gay rugby team in LA! - James Griffiths - #17
    Apr 12 2026

    My guest this week is Hollywood Movie director - James Griffiths. Griff was also my team-mate and captain at Old Colfeians but being a Hollywood Movie director sounds somewhat more impressive.

    This interview was recorded in September of 2019 and it went in all manner of directions. It really ebbed and flowed, not just through the highs and lows of rugby, but of life in general.

    Like you parents out there who are not supposed to have a favourite child, I'm not supposed to have a favourite podcast… But, if I did, then it might just be this one. Shhh, don't tell the others….

  • CLASSIC - Retiring on your own terms - Geoff Griffiths - #16
    Apr 5 2026

    Geoff and I met while playing for Esher RFC, one of 4 Championship clubs he represented. Geoff was a powerful three-quarter and played a lot of 7's also.

    This interview was recorded in September of 2019, and we chatted through Geoff's career, and he shared his thoughts on player pathways, the National One sweet-spot and some interesting facts about Graham Dawe.

    He was due to be Episode 17, but I brought him forward to this episode - Number 16 - Make sure to listen to the end to find out why…
