The C.O.W.S. (Context of White Supremacy) Radio Program welcomes the return of Nairobi Thompson live from the United Kingdom. A writer, poet and learning and development specialist, Ms. Thompson is a versatile communicator and facilitator with a rare ability to challenge and entertain professional and artistic audiences. She's been gracious enough to visit with us twice the last 2 months to discuss the re-release of her memoir, Almost British: Re-Visited, which gives detailed account of years of deliberate White Supremacist abuse from mostly White Women in British Prison service. Since our last exchange, the Metropolitan Police Department acknowledged that former officer David Carrick brandished a badge while being a serial rapist for years. The MET is reportedly investigating approximately 1,000 officers for possible sexual misconduct. We'll ask Ms. Thompson to relate this revelation to her experience in the prison service - where she was nicknamed Madam "Kinky Boots" by her White male co-workers. We also explore Ms. Thompson's candid admissions about how the torrent of Racist abuse compromised her mental health. Panic attacks, dizzy spells, nightmares... and thinking that she was just being paranoid trying to blame everything on Racism. We also analyze the 1993 White Supremacist killing of 17-year-old Stephen Lawrence as well as the 2000 prison death of Zahid Mubarek, a non-white (Pakistani) male who was killed by a White Supremacist cell mate. The Race Soldier planned his attack and compared himself to US serial killer Charles Manson. #StephenLawrence #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943#

This week's special bitesize clip features the engaging and illuminating Jo Konta, former British No.1 women's tennis player who won four singles titles, reached the semifinals of Wimbledon and rose to a world ranking of number 4. In this powerful clip we spoke about the loneliness of pursuing a path of excellence. The harsh, unforgiving spotlight of constant scrutiny and the struggle to maintain equilibrium and balance whilst engaged in the struggle to perform. Jo shared with us a simple equation which helped re-ignite her passion and led to a significant step change in her performance…Pain x Resistance = Struggle The more resistance to a challenge, the greater the struggle. Jo learned that when she began reducing her resistance and started seeing the benefits - what it was teaching her - the struggle dissolved.

This episode is a combination of a farewell to Simon Blair for being a fantastic co-host on The Coaching Podcast and a tribute to former professional tennis player, Johanna Konta (highest ranking of WTA #4 in the world). Simon and Emma discuss the interview with Johanna like they used to do in the original episodes on The Coaching Podcast. Emma Doyle first met Johanna Konta when she was a young junior tennis player training at the National Academy in Melbourne as part of the TAP (targeted Athlete Project) program. Emma had the fortunate experience of working on court with Johanna was she was around 12 years of age and coaching her during the World Junior U14 teams event. Therefore, when Emma was in London in November of 2017 and they reconnected at the London National Training Centre, she took the opportunity to record this interview. Johanna talks about the importance of the coach being in 'partnership' with their athlete. What she looks for in a great coach is someone who is open-minded and who has strong values - values that align with her own. Johanna was one of the most hard-working, dedicated and professional players on the tour. She retired in December of 2021 and we wish her all the success in the world for the next chapter of her life. If you would like to go straight to the interview, start this episode at 12 minutes - it is another gold dust short yet impactful interview not to be missed. Johanna Konta is a British former professional tennis player, having represented Australia until 2012. She won four singles titles on the WTA Tour, as well as 11 singles and four doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit. The former British No. 1 reached a career-high singles ranking of world No. 4 on 17 July 2017.

In the twelfth episode of season three of the Her Spirit podcast BBC Breakfast Louise Minchin and BBC Triathlon presenter Annie Emmerson talk to former international athlete turned broadcaster Jeanette Kwakye.Jeanette  started out in athletics aged 15. Born and bred in East London, she began running for her local club Woodford Green with Essex Ladies. She soon realised her potential and worked her way through the junior ranks to compete for Team GB in her first major junior international in 2002, where she gained a bronze for the 4x100m relay. Soon after this she attended Loughborough University where she studied Politics and Economics. Graduating in 2005 with a second class honours, Jeanette then focused all her efforts on training for the 2008 Olympic Games.Jeanette was a multiple British champion over the 100m and 200m. Her highest ranking achievement being the 100m Olympic final in 2008. The first British woman to achieve this feat in 24 years. An unfortunate series of injuries were to keep Jeanette out of the London 2012 Olympics, despite maintaining her position as British No. 1 across 100m during 2011. Having since retired from athletics, Jeanette, now a qualified journalist currently works for the BBC, Sky Sports and Channel 5. She reports and presents on Olympic sport for BBCSport and has covered European, World and Commonwealth Games.She has also worked for Channel 4, been featured on the One Show and published by the Guardian and other national publications. It's a great conversation about elite sport and life experiences, shared moments and being influenced by Angela Rippon at an early age to follow a path into broadcasting.  An early career at Radio Berkshire helped to shape Jeanette's broadcasting career into one where she has a regular slot at BBC Radio London and covering sports from boxing - track & field - swimming.We love her attitude to life and realising it "Follow the passion and build a career around it" and that she approaches life to know that nothing is certain and nothing is a given.As a mum of two she is a massive supporter of girls and sport and having dropped out of sport in her late teens, she came back to become British No.1.These podcasts have been made possible through the support of Medichecks www.medichecks.com and Sport England www.sportengland.org. Medichecks offers an easy and affordable way to check your health from the comfort of your own home with their simple and personal at-home blood tests.

More rain, but actual tennis as well. That’s the gist of the day 3 Tennis Podcast from the Fever-Tree Championships at The Queen’s Club.Juan Martin del Potro looked in fine fettle against Denis Shapovalov, but then hurt himself and was forced to withdraw from the tournament with yet another knee injury.Stan Wawrinka looked like he had added a turbo boost to his standard diesel engine as he raced to a 3-0 lead against Dan Evans, and never looked back. Is he in the mix? What about for Wimbledon?Stefanos Tsitispas did what we suspected he might do - played like a dream, looked like a movie-star and basically won everyone over in about 10 minutes. Only problem was he was up against the British No.1, and Kyle Edmund has his work cut out at 3-6, 3-3 overnight after the rain came down again.We cover the allegations around a doubles match that Feliciano Lopez played a couple of years ago, including his statement in response, the results elsewhere in Halle, Birmingham and Mallorca, and whatever else we could think of.The Tennis Podcast is produced in association with Telegraph Sport, and will be available daily throughout the Fever-Tree Championships and Wimbledon.

On the women’s side, can Stephens pull off the rare feat (unless you’re Serena Williams) of defending her title?

Kyle Edmund is out of the French Open. His five-set loss to Fabio Fognini brought an end to the British challenge at Roland Garros for another year. David and Catherine assemble on The Tennis Podcast to talk about it.Edmund vs. Fognini had looked thrilling on paper, but it ultimately failed to catch fire. Why was it such an ordeal? Why was Edmund unable to nullify the Fognini threat? And how much of a missed opportunity was this for the British No.1?Meanwhile, there was a familiar feeling on Court Philippe Chatrier as Rafael Nadal swept aside Richard Gasquet for the sixteenth time. Catherine bemoans Gasquet’s lack of belief and ponders why most players are so reluctant to do something completely different to try and perturb Nadal.The predictability of that contest sparked debate over the scheduling logic, particularly because the women’s No.1 Simona Halep was shunned to Court 18. Would that ever happen to a men’s No.1? Catherine and David have their say.Elsewhere, there’s no doubt that the women’s draw is shaping up very nicely indeed. On Saturday, Kontaveit beat Kvitova, Muguruza thrashed Stosur and Stephens squeezed past Giorgi. Those matches are all discussed. Plus, Maria Sharapova was awesome in blitzing her way past Karolina Pliskova. Is she in Serena-conquering form?Finally, Catherine reveals the spine-tingling buzz created by the magnificent Goffin vs. Monfils match.There will be daily editions of The Tennis Podcast throughout the French Open, in association with Telegraph Sport.

Catherine gives us the lowdown on the talking points from Konta’s post-match press conference, which at one stage turned a little more feisty than usual. With these disappointing losses beginning to stack up for Konta, how concerned should we all be about her form?Elsewhere, there was a big shock as defending champion Jelena Ostapenko lost in straight sets to Kateryna Kozlova.Those upsets brought some much-needed drama to an opening day which felt underwhelming at times, and left Catherine & David debating the pros and cons of a Sunday start.There’s also a brief chat about Monday’s play, when a number of the big names will get their campaigns underway. Plus, David reveals how lucky loser Marco Trungelliti is making a 9-hour car journey to Paris from Barcelona in order to take up his place in the draw.There will be daily editions of The Tennis Podcast throughout the French Open, in association with Telegraph Sport.

The US Open still holds out hope of a first meeting between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in New York, but as the Tennis Podcast team were reminded on Day 4, that clash is still some distance away.Both Federer and Nadal scraped into the third round, Federer winning a second successive five-set match against a man he had previously held a 16-0 record against, while Nadal toiled for three hours before quelling the challenge of Taro Daniel in four sets.What do Nadal’s uncle Toni and coach Carlos Moya think of the form of their man?
