The One with Ellia Green

The LGBT Sport Podcast ·

2024/01/03

To say that Ellia Green is an incredible athlete would be a dramatic understatement. As a kid, it was athletics – and particularly sprinting - that Ellia excelled at, competing at World Junior Championships, all with the encouragement of an amazing mum who was all in on supporting their journey.Ellia ended up switching to rugby sevens – and in 2016, they were part of the Australian team that took gold at the Olympics in Rio in the first time that the sport had ever taken place at a Games.It was the

2023 is almost at an end – and in many ways, this has been the biggest year that the BBC’s LGBT Sport Podcast has ever had.

The Second One with Adam Bolt

The LGBT Sport Podcast ·

2023/12/13

It was one year ago, almost exactly to the year, that Adam Bolt made his debut on this podcast. And since then, it’s fair to say that the British grappler has gone from strength-to-strength in a way that not even he thought would be possible. The Doncaster native has had millions of views across social media from people eager to hear more about his inspiring story outside of the ring – while inside the squared circle, he’s claimed the UK’s first-ever Pride title after main-eventing the WAW Pride

The One with Jamie Ayshford

The LGBT Sport Podcast ·

2023/12/06

When Jamie Ayshford dropped us a message, asking to come on to talk about the joys of spin, we were always going to say ‘yes’ to having him on. Partly, it’s because we’re always passionate about covering a sport or type of activity that we haven’t done before – and partly, because Jamie is so blinking passionate about it!He credits it with helping him with his mental health and empowering to accept who he is as an LGBTQ+ individual – and that’s the story that you’re going to hear over the course of

The One with Hedvig Lindahl

The LGBT Sport Podcast ·

2023/11/29

It’s hard to put into perspective the things that Hedvig Lindahl has been able to accomplish in the beautiful game. With nearly two-hundred caps for Sweden, she is – by some distance – the most-capped Swedish goalkeeper of all-time. Her international career has seen her reach the World Cup Final in 2003, along with two Olympic silver medals, two World Cup bronzes and three bronzes from the European Championships – while her domestic career includes two WSL titles with Chelsea, along with the Super

The Second One with Richard Morris

The LGBT Sport Podcast ·

2023/11/15

We last had Richard on the podcast for our 50th episode – and at the time, we described him as a modern-day James Bond – a racing driver with a doctorate for Cambridge who also fenced at the international level for England and Great Britain.Since then, he’s gone from strength-to-strength, competing for Revolution Race Cars in the European Sports Prototype Cup – where just days ago, he clinched the Championship with a double-win at Le Mans.

The LGBT Sport Podcast ·

2023/11/01

The last time that Ben Watkiss was on the podcast, he was working for League One’s Burton Albion as a strength and conditioning coach. Now, he’s crossed the border to Scotland – where he’s working as the Lead Sport Scientist for Ayr United, who play in the Scottish Championship where they’re currently sitting in a mid-table position.And the last time Ben was on, back in April of 2021, men’s football looked like a very different place – with no Jakub Jankto, no Jake Daniels, no Josh Cavallo, no

The One with Devin Ibanez

The LGBT Sport Podcast ·

2023/10/25

It’s hard to imagine Devin Ibanez living a life without rugby.He played for Major League Rugby’s New England Free Jacks in the USA in their inaugural season, took gold with Team USA at the World Maccabiah (Maccabee) Games in Israel in 2017 and represented Richmond in the Championship in the UK.And if all of that wasn’t a tip-off that Devin loves the game, his social media handle – ‘that gay rugger’ – should really be the giveaway.But coming to a point where Devin could speak about his two truths –

The One with Jakub Jankto

The LGBT Sport Podcast ·

2023/10/18

It was in February of this year that Jakub Jankto looked down the lens of a camera and told the world that he was gay. The 27-year old’s motivation was simple – he no longer wanted to live in fear or in hiding – and while his message was simple, the reaction was overwhelming. Support came in from some of the biggest names in the beautiful game, as Jankto made history as the most high-profile active male footballer to open up about their sexuality – and for a little while, we’ve been chatting about

The One with Charlotte Galloway

The LGBT Sport Podcast ·

2023/10/04

You know that you’re going to like someone when they describe their identity as a non-binary bisexual as ‘joyful chaos’ – and that’s exactly how Charlotte Galloway talks about herself. But it’s just one part of Charlotte’s personality, which is as much tied up in their love of football, which manifests itself in her role as both the chair of Cardiff Dragons and as the co-founder of the Women's Football Collective, which styles itself as a training centre for ‘Her Game Too’ campaign. So, it’s clear

The One with Ryan O'Callaghan

The LGBT Sport Podcast ·

2023/09/20

On the face of it, Ryan O’Callaghan was living the dream.The offensive tackle was a stand-out collegiate football player who was drafted to play alongside Tom Brady at the New England Patriots. He should have had it all – fame, fortune, all the trappings that came with it – but for Ryan, football was never a game he loved, but a way to hide the fact he was gay.It was something he did throughout his career – and it was only in 2017 that he decided to open up publicly about his sexuality for the first

Tia Fernandez loves being out and about in the great outdoors.She’s a member of Queer Surf Club – who we’ve featured on this show before – but in the not-too-distant future, she’s hoping to go from the beach to the far ends of the Earth in a bid to make history as the first queer person of colour to reach the Northern Pole of Inaccessibility. And when we heard that Tia was attempting to do something like that, then we knew we had no choice but to get her on for a chat. And what a conversation this
