EP6: Sportswashing

Listen on

Episode notes

Is it ok to have dubious, slightly tyrannical oil-state owners of your club, if it means winning a league cup? Des and Lisa don't think so, although the majority of Totalsport’s callers, like Billy (Alan Davies) don’t seem to mind. 

Elsewhere, controversial motivator Alexei Gold (Tom Stourton)  is invited onto the station to plug his new, dubious, protein drink, Jordan Young (Tom Rosenthal) returns with the hottest of takes, and -  not to be outdone on World Record Day -  Des attempts to eat the world’s hottest chilli, inadvertently sports-washing his own reputation in the process.
