🗣️ "When I interviewed Mike Tyson, I expected him to be difficult, so I had a plan B ready in case he was monosyllabic. He turned out to be the opposite-super friendly. I thought there would be about 30 PR people, but there was nobody in this room apart from me and him. He had a chair in the middle, I was sitting about three feet away and he pulled my chair right next to him. We’re about two inches away and he just started slapping my leg and calling me mother f’er all the way through the interview…I think in an affectionate way!” 🌟Absolutely loved chatting with Rick Broadbent for episode 10 of #JournoCast. So many fascinating stories that I have the pleasure of sharing!
Did her Daddy watch this??? Oh hang on... Rancid Cow.
You can’t complain about gender bias and then imply that the company you work for has seemingly incorporated a gender bias into their staffing structure.
🗣”It’s something that you try not to think about and I have to be honest, I can’t really point to an example of a bad experience I’ve had with that, but it’s just something you’re always really aware of when you’re the only woman in the room… I’ve gone to cover rugby matches and realised there’s no women’s toilet. I’ve turned up at Twickenham and been outside the press room with my press pass around my neck and been asked by a supervisor there if I’m I meant to be in the catering room, as in am I meant to be making tea for the journalists and not actually a journalist.” A super insightful conversation with Jess Hayden for episode nine of #JournoCast. Some brilliant insight into the industry...you can find her new book on Amazon now!
ONE OF THE WORST FOOTBALL COMMENTATORS.
Im such a huge fan of Alyson's work. I think her word selection is second to none
I agree!
🗣"It's like being on stage - a live performance with no script. You are performing and sometimes it goes well, sometimes it doesn't, but when it does, it's such a thrill. There’s no reason why a match, day, or night will be a good one or a bad one. It's a constant motivation and keeps me on my toes, just as it did the first time I ever did it." Absolutely loved chatting with John for episode eight of #JournoCast. His commentary over Euro 2024 was incredible and I can’t wait to hear him in the new season on 5 Live!
Keep your activism out of Journalism should be a good one going forward, I hate seeing an interview with someone interesting full of political pointed questions to trap gotcha moments.
🗣 “I remember I did a World Track Cycling Championships just before 2012 because we were really into it then and knew we were going to win lots of medals. It was a Friday night for the paper and we have early headlines on a Friday night. For a race that lasted 90 seconds, I had to write 900 words in 10 minutes, which sounds stupid, doesn't it? That sounds silly. But the guy who asked me didn't sound like he thought he was asking for anything ridiculous. So I said, well, of course, that's fine. It was like a miracle happened. When you're under that much pressure, you access parts of your brain you didn't know you had! So everything I'd read and learned came to the fore. So I could type very quickly with access to this information. In general conversation, I wouldn't have been able to access the information. But under the pressure of deadlines, it suddenly appeared in my head. And I was able to do it because there's no choice. And I suppose there’s two sorts of people: the sort of person who says, sorry, that's too ridiculous and stressful, I don't want to do that and then there's the person who thinks, well, that's ridiculous, but hey, let's give it a go, see what happens and has trust in the power of adrenaline. I think the day I run out of adrenaline, I'll have to stop doing most, well, at least half of my job..." 🌟I had an amazing time chatting with Alyson Rudd for episode seven of #JournoCast and I can’t wait to read all of her coverage for the new Premier League season starting soon! Give her a follow on X: @allyrudd_times
🗣️ “It was 10 years of, ultimately, a failure, but the journey to fail was not miserable it was great fun at times. You’re stuck in a transit van, travelling up and down the country to play to two men, a dog and a can of beans in some pub in nowheresville, but that’s paying your dues isn’t it? In any walk of life you pay your dues, it doesn’t just get handed to you, you have to earn it…” 🌟 Absolutely loved chatting with Ian for episode six of #JournoCast - incredibly insightful with so much brilliant advice!
🔥🔥🔥
🗣️ “There’s plenty of reason to worry and I understand why I have worried so much but if I was giving one piece of advice to anyone starting out it would be to enjoy it but also to be yourself, don’t pretend to be somebody else,be yourself and let rip…have some fun!” Loved having such an open and honest conversation with Peter Drury for episode five of #JournoCast. I can’t wait to hear him in the Premier League again next season!
🗣 "The most amazing thing hasn’t been the football, it’s been meeting people from so many different countries together enjoying themselves over the football…we’ve got so much trouble on and the football is one of the few things that gives you a bit of an escape" ... Loved speaking to Aadam for the fourth episode of #JournoCast. Make sure to give him a follow on X @aadamp9 and stay tuned for a HUGE guest on episode five coming very, very soon! ✌
Great episode Lewis !
Your voice is on the video but no one is allowed to use that footage
🗣“I couldn’t believe you could have a job where you’re traveling around the world and watching football. Not only that, but your voice is on these big moments and the words you choose are on that footage forever. That, to me, was just mind-blowing and I thought, ‘I want to be doing that.’" Loved speaking to Gary for the third episode of #JournoCast. Make sure to give him a follow on X: @Garytaphouse…stay tuned for episode four coming soon! ✌
🗣 “ Sport is an incredible prism through which to tell stories to people and make people care about things.” Loved speaking to George Simms for the second episode of JournoCast. You can read all of his great stories here: inews.co.uk/author/george-simms. Stay tuned for episode three coming soon! ✌
Until Southtwat is removed this will never happen

Master of yapology
🗣 “They say never meet your heroes, that ain’t strictly true…meet them and get selfies with them too!” It was a pleasure speaking with Jim Proudfoot for the first episode of JournoCast. You can hear him commentating on every England game live on talkSPORT over Euro 2024. Stay tuned for more guests over the summer!✌
