From glory days on tour to how sport has changed, from larger-than-life teammates to life after the final whistle, no subject is off limits. Sometimes serious, often irreverent, always honest — it’s sport as you’ve never heard it before. Join Beefy and Bill — plus an all-star line-up of amazing guests — for stories, banter, and a fresh take on the games they love.

Bill is back from the Women's World Cup Final and Beefy is preparing to head out to the Ashes. How can we build on England's success at Twickenham and why does Ian think England are under-prepared to face Australia? It's not all serious though, Bill reveals why Beefy poured a pint on someone's head in one of their first social gatherings, why a mobile phone in Dickie Bird's pocket almost got Ian and Allan Lamb in hot water and memories of partying with Elton John and meeting Nelson Mandela. We want to hear from you - got a question for Beefy and Bill? Agree or disagree with anything they've said?
