Comedian, writer, podcaster, friend of Standard Issue, and glorious human being Jess Fostekew is back on tour with her new show Mettle, and so Mick jumped at the chance to talk to her about it. They also chat buses, bulking, and the tiny birds of Geoff Capes. Hannah's been on the Zoom to talk to journalist and award-winning podcast host Catherine Carr about her podcast Where Are You Going?, why people are so keen to tell her the answer to this question and why listeners can't get enough of it. In Jenny Off The Blocks, Jen ponders what's next for the Women's Tour. And we wonder what is this film, as we settle down for some Gen X stereotypes and miserable facial hair in 1994's Reality Bites for this week's Rated or Dated. Meanwhile, there's Viking fire, heavy workloads, and a crypt full o' dust in the Bush Telegram.

Strength can look like a lot of things and, in this first episode of the stand-up series exploring women's weightlifting, comedian Jessica Fostekew starts at the most dirty, functional end of things - strongwoman. It's where weightlifting meets theatre. You might have seen on the telly at Christmas, the one with Geoff Capes running around with a fridge on his little finger or giving an entire train a tow with his body. Jess talks to four-times Britain's Strongest Woman Andrea Thompson and multiple world-record holder Mayyah Blair to get their take on strength, aesthetic and why the strongest women in the world still have to work part-time. And she tells us about the time she pulled an actual bus. Lets face it, she goes on and on about it. Written and Performed by Jessica Fostekew Producer: Lyndsay Fenner Executive Producer: Victoria Lloyd Sound Recordist: David Thomas A Mighty Bunny production for BBC Radio 4

In which Andrew Collins (who co-wrote Not Going Out) talks about how sitcoms written by the actors (eg Gavin and Stacey) can "plumb new depths of embarrassment and self-abasement", we wonder (with Fraser Lewry) if heavy metal is any less absurd than Devo or the Ramones but just doesn't have rock critics making serious points about it, ask if you can write a biopic about Elvis as there's no feelgood ending, and list famous people we only know one fact about eg Geoff Capes (kept budgerigars!), Jim Bowen (lived in a railway station!), Sarah Miles (drank her own wee!).

Geoff Capes is a pioneer of Strongman and strength athletics. The two time World's Strongest Man is still the most capped British athlete of all time. A lot has changed in the world since Geoff was top of the WSM podium, listen to hear his take on the modern Strongman and his incredible rise to the top.
It was a pleasure to be joined by the legendary Simon Pegg on the show this week who told us about his TWO new upcoming films. We even managed to rope Simon in for a round of the TV Themes Game, just as we promised him last time he was on! Mr. Dominic Byrne returned with his ‘Big Slot' as usual, but this time he's really pulled it out the bag as he managed to bag an interview with...GEOFF CAPES! Chris and the team had a chat with Geoff about his career achievements and how he is getting on in lockdown - he's even got his own parrots and is President of the Budgerigar Society! ? And, as pubs across England prepare to open their doors again we got hold of two landlords on the border in Wales. One of them can open, the other can't and Chris had a great time finding out what they had to say about it! Plus, you can find out what Chris has been doing as his second lockdown job and there's even a brand new batch of high quality audio WhatsApp messages from our listeners to delve into. All on this week's podcast! And if that wasn't enough, here's more… Pippa Makes The News Toby's candom Gift purchase Big money Winner Doesn't Know Who Chris Is! Enjoy!

"A lot of people will tell you that print media is dead. And I think that they're absolutely wrong." Back in the 80's, Geoff Capes could rip a Yellow Pages in half with his bare hands. I reckon I could give it a go these days. Want to know why print media ISN'T dead? Why a leaflet doesn't have a front and a back? or what "massively powerful tool" is "underestimated and underutilised"? You're going to LOVE episode #45 of the ALB podcast then, with our guest Alan Marriott from The Property Press, where amongst other things, we talk about kiwi spirit, everyone else getting paid but you, the importance of "staying on the field", and why the people of Exeter don't watch their football team...

In this second of two very special podcasts, James Richardson and Colin Bryce look back on an action packed World’s Strongest Man 2016 competition in Botswana. We analyse both the heats and the Grand Final, hear some of the stand-out moments and speak exclusively to third placed Eddie Hall and the new – now 4 time – WSM champion Brian Shaw. We also talk to two legends of the sport, Bill Kazmaier and Geoff Capes, and canvas opinion as to who really is the Strongest of All Time (#SOAT).
In the first of two very special podcasts, James Richardson and Colin Bryce discuss Giants Live, the Qualifier Tour for WSM, and then preview the main event itself, The Commerce World’s Strongest Man 2016 competition in Botswana. We speak to a couple of the main contenders, Laurence Shahlaei and Eddie ‘the Beast’ Hall, who tells us what it’s like to lift half a tonne and eat over 12,000 calories a day! Plus we hear from legendary two-time champion Geoff Capes.
When people think of hard edged gritty world renowned police drama they think of one name: Bergerac. When Mr Paul and Mr Ash think of Bergerac they think of questionable accents, Geoff Capes, and the mysterious allure of the enigma that is John Nettles. Oh, and a giant invisible killer bird. Probably.
