To mark the occasion this edition of the podcast is a special compilation show made up of six interviews that had an impact on us and on our listeners. They are interviews where we learned something for the first time, where we were taught how to battle back in the face of adversity and how the word 'no' doesn't have to mean 'no'. They are stories that needed to be told, and stories that required immense bravery to open

Alasdair Hooper hosts this SportSpiel feature interview with basketball player, poet and campaigner Asma Elbadawi. From a very young age, Asma has always been someone to highlight any inequalities she saw. As it says in her Twitter bio, reframing stereotypes is part of who she is. To many people she is the person who successfully campaigned for the International Basketball Federation to allow the hijab.

During their chat Eilidh opens up all about her career and partnership with Hannah Mills, as the 25-year-old prepares to make her Olympic debut in Tokyo. But there's also a great deal of reflection on the pain that came before that, namely missing out on Rio 2016.

Will Moulton hosts the latest SportSpiel feature interview with Middlesex County Cricket batsman Stevie Eskinazi. For Mintridge Foundation ambassador Stevie, one thing that has proved vital in his career is momentum.

Alasdair Hooper presents the latest SportSpiel feature interview with Welsh Olympic Trap shooter Georgina Roberts. The 22-year-old is very much an athlete who knows what she wants. She wants to change the state of play, take her sport to new levels and rewrite age-old gender-based stereotypes. For some people shooting is considered a dangerous activity – not even a sport in some people’s eyes – and it’s certainly not a place for women. Except that’s all wrong and the Women of the Future award

Isle of Man gymnast Grace Harrison had a well-thought-out plan after her historic achievements at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games. But that plan didn’t pan out as expected. Instead it ended in retirement at the age of 23. In 2014, Harrison became the first Manx female gymnast to make it to a Commonwealth Games final at the age of 19. Following that piece of history, she immediately targeted the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games as her next big goal. Injuries, however, dismantled that

There's been no shortage of shocks in Dartford, home of the London City Lionesses. The brand-new FA Women’s Championship side are currently second in the league – with five wins in seven games. According to their team captain Ellie Mason, things are looking very positive. The club was created after the decision, at the end of last season, by Millwall Lionesses to break away from Millwall and go it alone. That saw the birth of London City, an independent side without any ties to a men’s team

Great Britain’s women’s basketball team are working wonders. The side secured a historic fourth-placed finish at the 2019 EuroBasket in July, which came off the back of England’s surprise silver medal at the Commonwealth Games in 2018.

Jamaican diver Yona Knight-Wisdom is something of an anomaly in his sport. As the Leeds-born athlete says himself, he is almost two metres tall, is a ‘heavy diver’ and he’s black. That isn’t something you see very often. But despite the stereotype he is writing history in Jamaican sport. Not only was he the first Jamaican diver to medal at an international diving event, he was also the first Jamaican - and first to represent a Caribbean island - at the Olympics in diving.
