The Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Nicholas DainesAs a gay stuntman breaking barriers in Hollywood, Nicholas Daines has turned his gymnastics background into an asset that has made him one of the most sought-after individuals for some of the big screen’s biggest blockbuster stunts. He’s been in films like The Batman, Wicked and Indiana Jones – as Nicholas (a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community) turned his life as an elite-level gymnast and diver into a career in movies that few people can ever have dreamed off. It's been too long since we've last had Nicholas on the show - so it's g...2025-05-0732 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Steve DeanFor more than a decade, Steve Dean has been part of the professional wrestling scene in the UK. As both a competitor and an official, few people know their way round the ring more – so when Steve dropped us a message to say he was up for sharing the story of his life as a wrestler alongside his journey with his own sexuality, we were always going to say ‘yes’ to getting him on for a chat. So, if you love wrestling, you’re going to love this chat – as we talk about the ins and outs o...2025-04-3040 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Richard MorrisTo say Richard Morris is a trailblazer is no exaggeration – and we’re not the only ones who think that either. The motor-racing driver and co-founder and CEO of Racing Pride was named as exactly that by Attitude magazine this year – as he helps smash down stereotypes that exist in the world of motorsport, brick by brick and race by race. It couldn’t be a more exciting time either – as at the start of May, Racing Pride are putting on their first-ever Miami Drag Race event ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, featuring none other than...2025-04-2329 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowJahmal Howlett-Mundle ReturnsWe said last time that Jahmal Howlett-Mundle was on the podcast that the Sevenoaks Town captain was going to do big things in the game when it comes to inclusivity – but we didn’t expect him to be doing them quite so quickly. The semi-pro footballer received some brilliant news to start April, when he was named as the winner of the LGBTQIA+ Award on this year’s Football Black List – which was thoroughly and richly deserved, and led to appearances on the BBC Sport website and Sky Sports News, to name just a couple. We’re de...2025-04-1631 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One On TRUK United - We'll Go Down In HistoryWe’re no strangers to TRUK United on this podcast – but thanks to a pioneering new documentary, the story of the world’s first trans-inclusive football club is making it to the big screen. Cameron Richards and Charlie Tidmas spent two years with their team, documenting the fortunes of the club for the documentary We’ll Go Down In History – which is a superb watch about the journey of the team. One of the main subjects is Emily Waldron – a loud and proud Liverpool fan who has flourished at TRUK, even though she didn’t think football...2025-04-0930 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Heath ThorpeHeath Thorpe has spent years representing Australia on the world stage in the world of gymnastics, where he's already accumulated more medals than you can shake a stick at!  When he’s not competing at the very highest level, Heath is representing for the LGBTQ+ community in sport – and building his own brand as an athlete, an advocate, a model, a social media star and so much more. We’ve been wanting to catch up with Heath for a little while – and since his schedule brought him to Belgium this spring, it was the perfect time to g...2025-04-0229 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Johnathan ZemlikWhether it’s representing the LGBTQ+ community as an officer with Keighley Cougars or playing himself in any free hour he’s got, Johnathan Zemlik is someone who lives and breathes rugby. He’s run out for Leeds Hunters, Ossett RUFC, York Barbarians and a whole host of other clubs – and this summer, he’ll even be a key part of the world’s longest-ever rugby union match for the charities Looseheadz and Wooden Spoon, which both do amazing work in the game. So, when he said he wanted to come onto the podcast to shout about...2025-03-2635 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with the London OttersFounded more than a decade ago, the London Otters have gone from strength-to-strength in the decade since it was set up, hosting everything from regattas to taster sessions to drag events – it really is going on there! So, what better time to shine a spotlight on the Otters than now, with co-founder Grant ‘Ralphie’ Ralph and committee member Swarnima Sircar, who are our guests on the podcast today. We talk about their own experiences of rowing, including why Ralphie helped to found the club in the first place; their own journeys in sport; getting others into r...2025-03-1926 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Emma WiggsIn the sport of canoe, there simply hasn’t ever been a woman like Emma Wiggs. A triple Paralympic gold medallist along with two silver Paralympic medals, plus an incredible twelve World Titles, more European Championships than you can shake a stick at – and a sporting CV that can go toe-to-toe with absolutely anyone in the world. She’s also been nominated for the Sports Personality of the Year Award at this year’s Diva Awards – and continues to inspire and motivate others with her talks about her journey. And when you hear this conve...2025-03-1229 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Zack LeaderTo say Zack Leader is committed to diversity and inclusion in the beautiful game would be a gross understatement. A nominee for the British LGBT Awards in 2019, he’s been a finalist on multiple occasions at the Football v Homophobia Awards – and he’s celebrating nominations again this year as a result of his work. In fact, it’s fair to say that if you are involved in football in Lincolnshire – either with Lincolnshire FA, Lincoln United or the area’s inclusive football team -  you’re going to know all about Zack’s work in opening the sp...2025-03-0529 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Ruaridh DonaldsonFew footballers are more active allies to the LGBTQ+ community in the men’s game than Ruaridh Donaldson. The Chelmsford City midfielder doesn’t shy away from his allyship – in fact, it’s front and centre on his Instagram page, and something he is proud to be. And while it seems an odd question, asking the Scot why he’s so open with his support for the community when relatively few other men in the world of football aren’t is a question that’s absolutely key – and at the centre of this cracking conversation on the podcast t...2025-02-2631 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Jon HolmesIf you’re interested in the sort of stories that we tell on this podcast, then you almost certainly already follow Jon Holmes. And if you don’t, you need to – as it’s no exaggeration to say that he’s one of the most influential LGBTQ+ sports journalists working in the world today. From his work with Sky Sports to his current role at Outsports, alongside his work with the Sports Media LGBT+ group, there really is no aspect of LGBTQ+ sporting life in the UK and further afield that Jon hasn’t covered. So, it...2025-02-1932 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Daniel JervisWe’re proud to call Daniel Jervis a friend on this podcast. The double-Olympian and multiple-time Commonwealth medallist came into the life of this show back in 2022 when the swimmer chose to open up about his sexual orientation for the first time on our podcast. In the time since then, there’ve been some downs and a load of ups for Dan – including the mammoth achievement of a second Olympics for the Welshman in Paris – and so it only seems right that Dan joins us to talk about his announcement today that he’s retired as a profe...2025-02-1229 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Jason JoshuaIf you didn’t know Jason Joshua before this weekend, there’s a chance you do now after he went viral for – well, there’s no other way to say it, for being bodyslammed onto a sex aid. But even before that, ‘Big Daddy Unicorn’ was capturing the eyes of the British and international wrestling community with his unique mix of power and personality, along with a personal journey that is every bit as compelling as his in-ring persona. Anxiety and mental health issues have played a huge part in this larger-than-life grappler’s life, as has his own...2025-02-0533 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Cindy NgambaIt’s always special to have an Olympian on the podcast. When that Olympian is also a medallist, that makes things even better – and when they made history in the process… well, it doesn’t get any better than that. But that’s exactly what Cindy Ngamba did at the Paris Olympics, when she became the first person from the Refugee Olympic team to ever win an Olympic medal, as she picked up bronze in the boxing in the middleweight division. Cindy is also a multiple time British Amateur Champion, and has competed for the Eu...2025-01-2925 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with James AdcockIt was back in 2021 that professional football referee James Adcock shared his story with us on the show, and opened up to the world for the first time about the fact that he just so happens to be gay. It was something that made headlines right around the world, with James becoming one of the highest-profile male officials to open up about their sexuality A lot has changed for James in the time between then and now – he’s left officiating behind, got even more into his fitness, and there’s the small matter of an eng...2025-01-2227 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Josh EyreWe’re biased about today’s guest – and not just because he is also a proud Cornishman! Josh Eyre is one of the top officials in the Cornish game, and has been recognised as such by his county organisation. He’s also working his way up the footballing pyramid, a rising star in refereeing who is already officiating in matches at a National League North and South Level – and with getting into the Football League pyramid itself just one step away, that’s something that is firmly in his sights. Josh reached out to us at the...2025-01-1534 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Huw WareIf you were watching last week’s historic PDC World Championship Final between Luke Littler and Michael Van Gerwen, you may have noticed a familiar face on-stage. Huw Ware took charge of his first televised match when he was just 17, making him the youngest official to ever do so. Since then, his career has gone from strength to strength, with multiple appearances at some of the sport’s top events – and just a few days ago, Huw made history as the first out gay man to referee the sport’s showpiece final as he took charge o...2025-01-0833 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with the Transmanian Devils2024 was a big year for the Transmanian Devils, and 2025 could well be even bigger. With their first eighty minute match under their belt last year, the coming months promise more fixtures and a second-anniversary to savour for a club that offers a space for folks from the trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming community to play rugby, make friends and generally have a really good time. So, what better way to kick off a new year on the podcast than with Maz from the Devils, who is here to tell us all about the club and...2025-01-0128 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with the 2024 Best Bits (Part 2)It’s time for our second ‘Best Of’ Episode – as we sit down and remind ourselves of some of the awesome guests who’ve joined us in 2024. There are too many to go through all of them – but today, we’re going to remind ourselves of some of the most memorable ones. We’re running the gamut from Olympians to international rugby stars to professional wrestlers, via a team that was crowned world champions earlier this year. We’re talking visibility, diversity and what it takes to get to the top of your sport – with the k...2024-12-2536 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with the 2024 Best Bits (Part 1)Today is the first of two special episodes of the podcast, as we round out 2024 with a double helping of some of the most memorable guests who have joined us over the past twelve months. On this episode, we're talking to England football legends, double Olympians, history-makers in the beautiful game, and a return visit from an ice hockey star who is one of our absolute favourites.  It's a wander down memory lane with some extraordinary athletes, talking about everything from the Paris Olympics to representing your country on the international stage; being an LGBTQ+ r...2024-12-1836 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Luke CaddelWe’ve done something a bit different on the podcast today by throwing open the doors and making it an open forum to you, wherever you’re listening in the world! Any group or individual, anywhere across the planet – so long as they were LGBTQ+ or an ally in sport, they’d be the guests today! We were overwhelmed with the response – and trust us, we’ll be getting round to everyone who got in touch as we roll into 2025. But fastest finger first was Luke Caddel - a member of the brilliant Queer Surf C...2024-12-1130 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Stonewall FCIn terms of sporting triumphs, it doesn’t get much better than becoming world champions – and that’s exactly what Stonewall FC did in Argentina last month as they became the ten-time IGLFA World Champions with a victory over West Hollywood. They didn’t do it the easy way either, losing two centre-backs to injury and coming from behind to secure El Decimo – but champions find a way to win, and that’s exactly what Stonewall FC managed to do. Manager Eric Najib, and players Fernando Martins and Shane McCullough, played a key role in Stonewall's...2024-12-0429 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Verity SmithVerity Smith has loved rugby for a long, long time. Whether it was union with Rotherham Phoenix or league with Dewsbury Moor, he is obsessed with the game – including playing at the moment with the Leeds Rhinos wheelchair side. Verity is also a massive advocate for LGBTQ+ inclusion in sport, particularly given his own journey as a trans man – and it’s great to have Verity back on the show today for the first time in a very, very long time. We chat about all sorts of things – from that love of sport to his a...2024-11-2627 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Stargazy FCToday is a special episode that is really special to me, as we’re talking about grassroots football at the time that Stonewall is running its Rainbow Laces campaign – and doing so with the help of my club Stargazy FC. Yes, today, we’re spotlighting some of the characters and people who are not only making grassroots football inclusive and accessible in one of the most rural parts of the UK – but they also happen to be my team-mates as well. These are the folks who I train with, step out onto the pitch with, share ch...2024-11-2026 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowAdam Bolt ReturnsAdam Bolt has made 2024 his year. The Doncaster native currently has five belts around his chiselled waist – including the UK’s two Pride wrestling belts – and continues to go from strength-to-strength. As one of the standouts on this year’s Big Gay Brunch, he’s got big plans for 2025 – and we’ll be honest, Adam’s become a good friend over the past few years. So, he’s back on the podcast today – talking about what spurred him to make 2024 the best year of his wrestling career so far; whether there were every any alternatives to...2024-11-1235 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Campbell JohnstoneIt’s been nearly two years since Campbell Johnstone shared the story of his sexuality with the world and – in the process – made a little bit of history. As a New Zealand rugby star who’d been capped by the national team, Campbell’s decision to speak publicly about the fact he’s gay made him the first out All Black – and when we spoke with him at the time of his decision, life was a bit of a whirlwind for him. So it’s great to get Campbell back on for a catch-up – and a look at how life...2024-11-0629 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Connor MinneyAs the man behind GAYNS and a serial fitness entrepreneur, it’s fair to say that Connor Minney is a person who lives and breathes the industry. But Connor’s own journey in fitness – one that had its origins in the unique world of the performing arts – has been quite a ride itself, which is why we’re so delighted to get him on the podcast for a chat today. And honestly, this is a conversation that’s full of a bit of everything – the reality of life in the fitness industry, the joys and challenges of...2024-10-3031 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Joseph ParsonsThere’s no doubt that Joseph Parsons is a sports super-fan. He’s someone we love speaking to on this podcast – about Bristol City, about his previous special about being an LGBTQ+ sports fan, his thoughts on the Euros… he’s just a great guy who is making waves on the UK comedy scene. So when he dropped us a message asking if he could talk about his first-ever tour, we were only ever going to say ‘yes’ – and that makes this a strange, hybrid sort of episode that links both sport, fitness and comedy in a fantastic c...2024-10-2332 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Prince PeléFrom WWE Clash at the Castle to AEW All In, it’s been a massive year from the British professional wrestling scene – and particularly for inclusive wrestling in the UK. Prince Pelé has been at the centre of it, with appearances at TGW’s Pride Show in the summer, and EFFY’s Big Gay Weekend just a month ago in Liverpool. We never need an excuse to talk about wrestling on this podcast, and it’s awesome to have him with us on the show today. There’s so much in this podcast that we think...2024-10-1635 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Mikey ConnorMikey Connor first came to the public’s attention as one of the contestants on BBC Three’s landmark reality TV show I Kissed A Boy. But before Mikey was on television, he was out on the pitches, week in and week out, officiating in games across the Merseyside area. And even though Mikey is now firmly established as a social media presence, his first love is, in many ways, still the beautiful game. So, there’s every chance you’ll see him refereeing or speaking to LGBTQ+ fan groups about the importance of inclu...2024-10-0934 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Carly TelfordCarly Telford is someone who has lived and breathed football for their whole life. The legendary Lioness spent twenty years in the beautiful game, playing right around the world on some of the biggest stages that the sport has to offer. So when new research came out showing that far too many female footballers believe that a lack of funding, sponsors and equipment are holding the game back, it was only natural that Telford was going to throw her weight behind the campaign to do something about it. After all, the game is...2024-10-0223 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Sophie McKinnaSophie McKinna is one of those people who we love on this podcast. In fact, it was with us that the shot-putter and British Olympian first spoke publicly about her sexuality back in 2023 – and a lot has happened since then. There’s been a major elbow injury, surgery, a road to recovery and – as you’ll hear – an engagement and wedding to plan as well. But what pushes Sophie on is her desire to continue competing, and her recognition that something within her is driving her to accomplish goals that she’s not yet reached...2024-09-2431 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Bruce MouatYou know how you know that Scottish curler Bruce Mouat is one of the nicest men in sport? Because the Olympic silver medallist, world champion and multiple-time European gold medallist had literally just got back from competing in Canada when he shook off the jet-lag and joined us on the podcast for a catch-up that has been long overdue. To be honest, a lot has happened in the years since Bruce was last on the show – including completing a full set of world championship medals after leading Scotland to their first men’s curling world titl...2024-09-1733 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One from Virgin Radio PrideIt was an email from listener Adam that got us thinking about the theme for today's episode.  Because over the summer, we collaborated with Virgin Radio Pride to put out five special documentaries, looking at everything from Euro 2024 to the Olympics to professional wrestling. But our international listeners (and some in the UK) didn't get a chance to listen to those shows - so today, we're bringing you some of the best bits from those shows. You'll hear from Olympians, footballers, pro wrestlers and more - as we bring you some of the b...2024-09-1141 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Jack WoolleyIt’s certainly been a rollercoaster few months for Ireland’s Jack Woolley. At points, it was uncertain whether Jack would be able to qualify for this year’s Olympics in Paris – but qualify, he did, for his second successive Games in a row. In fact, Jack’s already a history-making athlete, as the first Irish athlete to ever compete in an Olympic taekwondo event – and this time out, he was cheered on by his partner Dave, unlike in Tokyo, where there were just a handful of people on hand to watch his monumental achievement. Jack’s...2024-09-0429 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Zach SullivanManchester Pride has been and gone, so it only seems appropriate to get someone from that part of the world on the pod today. In fact, Manchester Storm ice hockey star Zach Sullivan is someone we’ve been wanting to catch up with for a while – and now is the perfect time to do it. Zach opened up publicly about the fact he’s bisexual back in 2020, and we actually spoke to him about it on the pod about it at the time. But a lot has changed in the time between now and th...2024-08-2836 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Rocky ClarkFor England rugby legend Rocky Clark, the past week has been an emotional one. On the positive side, it’s the anniversary of her greatest triumph – with 2024 marking exactly ten years since she lifted the World Cup with England. On the other hand, Rocky also experienced her first piece of homophobic abuse in a long time – and the experience left her shaken and hurt. So, the highest of highs, the lowest of lows – but Rocky is one of our favourite people, and we were desperate to get her back on the show, so now seem...2024-08-2131 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Jahmal Howlett-MundleJahmal Howlett-Mundle was just a kid when he was scouted for Crystal Palace – so it’s fair to say that football was in his blood from a very early age. Jahmal signed a professional contract at Hearts, and then went on to play at a semi-pro level for the likes of Sheppey United, and currently plies his trade at Sevenoaks Town – where he’s also the skipper! Jahmal is also bisexual and came out to his then-teammates in 2021 – and he says he’s more confident than ever when it comes to speaking about his truth. In fac...2024-08-1428 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Village Manchester FCFounded in 1996, Village Manchester FC is one of the UK’s leading inclusive football teams. From a team that started as a response to the pervasive notion that ‘gay players’ couldn’t compete against ‘straight teams’, the club has gone from strength-to-strength – as demonstrated in their most recent triumph in Vienna at the EuroGames. Bertie Moores plays for the club and dropped us a message, asking if he could come on to share the story of the club – and we were delighted to make it happen! Alongside first team manager Pete Ransom, we have a cracking...2024-08-0731 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Summer Recap OneSometimes, it's good to take a little bit of time to reflect. And that's exactly what we're doing on the podcast today - as we take a wander down memory lane to remind ourselves of some of the amazing sporting guests who have joined us over the past few months.  Rugby, para-dressage, softball, motor-racing - they're all on the agenda today as we remind ourselves of some of the brilliant guests who have joined us since April. So, enjoy a reminder of some of these awesome LGBTQ+ representatives in sport - and we'll r...2024-07-3133 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Peter CaruthIt’s been a couple of years since we’ve had Peter Caruth on the podcast. In fact, it was 2022, just a week or so after the Irish hockey legend and Rio Olympian opened up about his sexuality in a post on Instagram – and we’ve wanted to have him back ever since. Today, we’re making it happen – with an episode that is every bit as good as that first one we did almost exactly two years ago. The focus on this one is the Paris Olympics – which seems appropriate, as Peter will be one of...2024-07-2432 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One on the True Grit Pride ShowOn Saturday, True Grit Wrestling hosts its first-ever Pride show and, for the first time, will crown a Pride Champion. And today on the show, we’ve got four of the individuals who will compete in that tournament to give us an idea on how professional wrestling has become more inclusive and diverse, while still retaining that unique mix of entertainment and athleticism that makes wrestling special. Adam Bolt, Priscilla Queen of the Ring, Jason Joshua and Che Monet are all on the podcast, and it’s a fascinating conversation. We talk about the...2024-07-1529 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Paul GreavesPaul Greaves has lived and breathed trampoline for more than two decades. By the age where most of us are still trying to figure out what we want to do with our lives, he’d set up a community club that – within a matter of years – became one of the leading ones in the entire world. Paul counts double Olympic medallist Bryony Page amongst the athletes he’s worked with over the years – and now, Paul lectures in sport and development at the University of Stirling. So, when Paul messaged us and said he’d fancy...2024-07-1040 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Kirk WalkerIt’s fair to say that Kirk Walker has a life that has been shaped by softball, over and over again. The current head-coach at UCLA, Walker spent nearly two decades at Oregon State before returning to the place where he had previously been on the coaching staff between 1984-94. Kirk has more titles and accolades than you can shake a stick at – with multiple NCAA Championships, over a dozen appearances in the Women’s College World Series, Coach of the Year awards, stints serving on the coaching team for Team USA through the 2004 Olympic Games...2024-07-0332 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Arthur WebberWhen Arthur Webber was growing up, football was there for him in a big way. A kid who tried a fair few different sports and an Arsenal fan during the glory days of Arsene Wenger, he loved nothing more than playing for his school’s football team. But when he was forced to choose between being true to who he was and continuing in the beautiful game, Arthur stepped away from football – and it was years before he felt able to return. When he did, he made up for lost time – firstly for LeftFo...2024-06-2631 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Grant SkeneIf you follow Grant Skene on social media, as thousands and thousands of people do, you’ll know he's a man who lives and breathes rugby. The Scot plays for inclusive team Aberdeen Taexali and, until recently, was the team’s coach too. Through his platform, he’s helped hundreds of people feel welcome in the game and made them realise that their sexuality shouldn’t stop them running out on the rugby pitch -  and has done so, in large part, because he knows exactly how it feels to think that who you love would sto...2024-06-1929 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Eric RadfordIn a glittering career, Eric Radford became the very definition of a legend in the sport of figure skating. The Canadian has Olympic gold, silver and bronze medals to his name, along with two World Championships and more than half-a-dozen Canadian titles. The accolades go on and on, including as a trailblazer for the LGBTQ+ community – as, in 2018 in Pyeongchang, Radford became the first out gay man to win a gold medal at a Winter Games. He’s someone we’ve wanted to have on the podcast for ages, so we’re delighted that we’...2024-06-1232 minThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe Jack Murley Sports ShowThe One with Kate ChristowitzKate Christowitz took up rowing at school because she thought it might be like Wind in the Willows. She soon learned that the reality was different and, if anything, more exciting than anything she’d anticipated – and little did she know the journey that it would take her on. There were events around the world, training in beautiful places and, ultimately, a place in the woman’s heavyweight pairs final at the 2016 Olympics in Rio. But to say the journey that Kate went on to get there was straight forward or ordinary would be a h...2024-06-0537 minEarning The PushEarning The PushMJF returns to AEW, Becky Lynch leaves WWE, TNA arrives in NXT and a properly bonkers wrestling week!This wrestling week has been bonkers.
