Team
As well as producing audio content for businesses and organisations, John & Michael co-present Anything but Footy - their original Olympic and Paralympic sport podcast.
Their spin off interview series ‘Great British Bosses’ features leaders in sport who have chosen the platform to set their own sports news agenda.
Anything but Footy has been named by The New York Times newspaper and website feedspot.com as one of the top 5 global podcasts for Olympic sport.
“For a non-American perspective on the Olympics and Paralympics, give this relaxed, affable British show a shot. Throughout the Year, “Anything but Footy” offers an overview of just about every Olympic sport played (except, as the title suggests, football), and makes a point of including sports that don’t always get the spotlight. The hosts, John Cushing and Michael Weadock, display their wide-ranging knowledge, throughout the news and analysis segments.”
