Episode 24 - Emma John and Rick Broadbent

May 11, 2016

In this week's episode, Matt speaks to 2 more great writers. We hear from EMMA JOHN (The Guardian, The Observer, Wisden) who talks about her teenage obsession with terrible cricket - specifically the England team of the 90s - in FOLLOWING ON. Then RICK BROADBENT (The Times, That Near Death Thing, Ring Of Fire) has written about the extraordinary life of athletics legend Emil Zatopek - who won an unprecedented 3 golds in distance running at the Helsinki Olympics until he fell foul of the Czech secret police and ended up living in a caravan and working down a mine. His book is ENDURANCE. As always, Emma and Rick also pick their favourite sport book. Thanks for downloading - don't forget to subscribe and follow us on Twitter @SportsBookPod
