England v Zimbabwe, Trent Bridge Test, Day 3: Ben Jones joins Daniel Norcross. DONATE TO OUR EDINBURGH RUNNERS BELOW. Is Shoaib Bashir coming of age? Can Ben Duckett see over Blessing Muzarabani's pads? Why we shouldn't write off England's bowlers for Sean Williams getting on top of them. Will the accurate Sam Cook's 78mph top speed be an issue for more potent batting lineups? Will Josh Tongue be the key bowler of the summer? Could Zimbabwe have taken a bit more of a gamble on Day 1 to alter the course of the Test? Let's not make it another 23 years, Zimbabwe.  .

Robert Bruce Lockhart was at various times in his life a diplomat, a conspirator, an gatherer of intelligence, and a propagandist. He was always a maverick, a charmer, a bit of a cad with a touch of the bounder, and a devotee of the high life when he could afford it, and often when he could not.  In his busy life he ran a Malaya rubber plantation; served as a diplomat in Czarist Russia; and was first an interlocutor with and then a conspirator against the Bolshevik leaders of the early Soviet Union. After imprisonment and expulsion from the Soviet Union, he ricocheted about Europe as a journalist and memoirist, before ending up as head of the shadowy and creative Political Warfare Executive. Throughout his life he seemed to be an escapee from a John Buchan novel like The Thirty-Nine Steps, or Greemantle, albeit one with a much higher sex drive.  With me to talk about Robert Bruce Lockhart is James Crossland, Professor of International History at Liverpool John Moores University, where he is co-director of the Centre for Modern and Contemporary History. His interests are in—among other things—terrorism, propaganda, the International Red Cross and the history of international humanitarian law. He was last on the podcast in Episode 353 to talk about his book The Rise of the Devils: Fear and the Origins of Modern Terrorism. His newest book is Rogue Agent: From Secret Plots to Psychological Warfare, the Untold Story of Robert Bruce Lockhart. Some related podcasts in the archive are Jonathan Schneer on the Lockhart Plot; Anna Reid on the Russian Civil War; and–well, I mentioned it, oddly enough–Ben Jones on the Jedburghs.

This week on the Rockonteurs podcast we welcome Holly Johnson to the show. Holly has one of the most instantly recognisable voices of the 80s and he continues to record and tour.

Holly chats to Guy and Gary about his early influences growing up in Liverpool and the music scene of the local bars and clubs that inspired a generation. He talks about Frankie Goes To Hollywood and their decade defining songs of that era. Holly doesn't hold back in telling some incredible stories.

Season 18, Episode 9: With the power outage in Lisbon it's Daniel Norcross stepping in this week as Adam returns to a familiar sofa under the Jardine portrait in Tooting. Fronting the agenda are off-field discussions following our Richard Gould interview, extending to how the English game might look after its latest review. The County Championship is never dull, with the Foxes of Leicestershire hunting for their first promotion as the Surrey machine clicks into top gear for the first time in 2025. There's also plenty of action to recap in the Women's One Day Cup before Ben Jones (on his 30th birthday!) takes us to India where the rest of the world is so focused – a staggering 35-ball ton by 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the IPL.

Season 18, Episode 7: Call it a mutual admiration society: given the way we respect Wisden, it's nice to get an observation back. More importantly this week, the kind of wild net-run-rate ending that we've been anticipating for some time came to pass in the women's World Cup qualifiers. The new English women's domestic system got started, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh played a stunner in their Test series, and Bangladesh's 10 and 11 remain the most entertaining batters in world cricket. Jason Gillespie tackles the Pakistan board, and there are moments worth looking at in a county round dampened by rain. Then, Ben Jones in the IPL warns against the rise of our robot overlords.
