Is it entirely coincidental that some of the leading figures in the MAGA movement - including Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and David Sacks - all grew up in Apartheid South Africa? Not according to Simon Kuper who raised the alarm about “Musk, Thiel and the shadow of apartheid South Africa” in a bracing September Financial Times column. But this is a reactionary shadow, Kuper warns, not just haunting the United States but most of the world. Kuper's faith in globalization, he acknowledges, seems to be in retreat everywhere. And 2025, he laments, is only going to deliver more depressing news for those us who still consider ourselves liberals. So if the progressive age of global politics is over, I asked Kuper, then what is left for us to cherish in the new year?Simon Kuper is a journalist who writes for the Financial Times and publishes in newspapers and magazines around the world. He is one of the world's leading writers on soccer. His book Football Against the Enemy won the William Hill Sports Book of the Year award. His works are also widely read in translation. Born in Uganda, Kuper spent most of his childhood in the Netherlands and now lives in Paris.Keen On is a reader-supported publication.

Conor Niland, former Irish tennis professional, discusses winning the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award 2024.

Congratulations are in order for Conor Niland and Gavin Cooney, who today won the William Hill Sports Book of the Year award for their superb book 'The Racket'.This is just the third time Irish authors have won the prestigious award. Upon the book's release back in June, Conor dropped by the Off The Ball Breakfast studio to talk about his life on the road as a professional tennis player, his close-up encounters with some future greats, and his moments on the big stages of SW19 and Flushing Meadows during the summer of 2011. And as part of a FREE super bonus pod celebrating Conor's win, we've added his July discussion with Jenny Claffey, also from Off The Ball Breakfast.

For this special edition episode, Jack Pierce and Joe Walker set about selecting the Palace XI of players that should have played for the club but never did. They are joined by football podcast royalty and the host of Football Cliches, Adam Hurrey, for the episode. Whether their family supported the club, rumours linking them to Palace would never die or they just felt really Palace, some players did very well to avoid a spell in SE25 during their career. Find out who the central midfielder that screams West Wickham is, which obligatory Australian was selected and where this never-to-happen team would play their home fixtures. Adam also talks about his new book, Extra Time Beckons, Penalties Loom: How to Use (and Abuse) The Language of Football, recently long listed for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2024. He also tells us which modern football cliche was invented by Richard Shaw. Get your copy of Adam's new book now. Subscribe to Football Cliches wherever you get your podcasts from.

Do you ever read a book and love it so much that you go round telling people about it? Like everyone you meet. That's exactly what happened with myself and Conor Niland's book The Racket! From his experience as a junior on the tournament circuit (one I know a lot of tennis parents will recognise) to his days on a tennis scholarship in the US to the rollercoaster ride that is the Pro Tour, Conor's book is a compelling read. If you are anything like me, you'll finish it in a couple of sittings.BUY THE RACKET BY CONOR NILAND HEREhttps://amzn.to/3Cg6ZAQThis is the first book review I've done on My Tennis Journey - and I hope it will be the first of many.

This podcast episode is dedicated to my friends at Ashby Castle and all the other friends I have made on the tournament circuit which Conor brings to life so eloquently in the book.If you're a player, coach or tennis fan I think you'll devour this book.

Send us a textGood For A Girl by Lauren Fleshman is the story of Lauren's life and experience in professional running. Running seemed straight forward when she was growing up, you work hard and you get the reward, but women don't have the same performance trajectory as men when going through puberty. Women often plateau as they get used to their "new body" after puberty, but this comes at an inconvenient time in college when coaches are picking top performers for scholarships and want their team to win in the NCAA system. Lauren's story is about navigating her time in the NCAA, what she saw during her time competing at the college level and beyond (including competitors who would disappear from the running scene following struggles with eating disorders) and why it's important to change things for future girls and women.Who is Lauren Fleshman? In case you haven't heard of her, Lauren is an award winning author and one of the most decorated American distance runners of all time, having won five NCAA championships at Stanford and two national championships as a professional. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, Time and Runner's World. Her debut book was an instant New York Times Bestseller, and won the prestigious William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award. She is the brand strategy advisor for Oiselle, a fitness apparel company for women, and the co-founder of Picky Bars, a natural food company. She lives in Bend, OR.If you're looking for a copy, you can find it on Lauren't website (where she also offers signed copies!): https://www.laurenfleshman.com/Link for 20% discount on Caffeine Bullet https://caffeinebullet.com/RUNNINGBOOKDiscount automatically applied and visible on checkoutSupport the showAny feedback or suggestions on this review or any of our other podcast episodes would be greatly welcomed.

This week we are joined by the incredible Lauren Fleshman, New York Times bestselling author of "Good for a Girl", to discuss the systemic ways that our sports culture fails women and girls, and how we can create a better future for the next generation of female athletes.  We dive into how the natural and expected changes in a young women's body during adolescence are met with misunderstanding and pathology, and how the sports systems that girls and women find themselves in are built by men, for men and boys. They don't currently account for or support the experience of the female athlete. Even if you aren't a female-bodied human or an athlete, I hope you'll tune into this episode. This is such an important conversation about challenging the patriarchy and policing of women's bodies, far beyond athletics and running. As always, please listen with compassion and empathy for yourself and any past (or current) experiences this may bring up for you. Tune in to hear more about… The inspiration behind Lauren's book, Good for a Girl How prevalent disordered eating is when girls in adolescence, even into their college years The objectification of female bodies during adolescence How the US sports systems are built for around a default male body The significant differences between young girls and boys when training for sports The lack of normalization and support that girls and young women receive in sports during adolescence What happens when girls fight against natural body changes The rate that young girls drop out of sports What is viewed as "essential equipment" for boys in sports versus girls The financial pressure of athlete scholarships and ensuring performance at the expense of health If weight loss and losing a menstrual cycle is "normal" during sports training The extended time period to truly recover from undereating and overtraining in a women's body Redefining excellence for women in sports beyond race times and body-focused numbers How high risk women athletes are funneled into college sports Performative health and how food choices are policed in athlete spaces What's next for Lauren in her career  About Lauren: Lauren Fleshman is an award winning author and one of the most decorated American distance runners of all time, having won five NCAA championships at Stanford and two national championships as a professional.

Andy McGrath is known for his work in the cycling world, both as an author and a journalist. "Bird on the Wire" is a book by McGrath that delves into the life and career of Tommy Simpson, one of Britain's most famous cyclists. Simpson was a world champion and the first Briton to wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France but tragically died during the 1967 Tour de France. McGrath's book offers a detailed exploration of Simpson's career, his impact on the sport of cycling, and the circumstances surrounding his death, shedding light on both his achievements and the darker aspects of professional cycling during his era. His book, which was winner of the prestigious William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award has been praised for its thorough research and engaging narrative, contributing significantly to the historical understanding of cycling and today Anthony chats with Andy about his research on the book. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MyWhoosh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get started on the cycling platform everyone is talking about.

In this episode of "Running: State of the Sport," George and Amby chat with Conner Mantz, a favorite in the Feb. 3 Olympic Marathon Trials, based on his recent 2:07:47 at the Chicago Marathon. Mantz also won two NCAA Cross Country Championships in his days as an undergrad at Brigham Young University. He's part of a strong BYU marathon contingent that includes Clayton Young, 2:08:00 at Chicago, and 2016 Olympic marathon runner Jared Ward. All are coached by two-time U.S. Olympic marathoner Ed Eyestone. Before talking to Mantz, George and Amby discussed the biggest recent news in running. This included the fast results in the Valencia Marathon, where Ethiopian Sisay Lemma set a course record of 2:01:48, and his countrywoman Worknesh Degefa ran a personal best, 2:15:51. In the same race, Kenenisa Bekele, 41, set a world record for a masters marathon runner with his 2:04:19. In Oregon, Addy Ritzenhein, just a sophomore and daughter of former U.S. super-elite runner Dathan Ritzenhein, won the Nike Nationals XC meet. In England, Lauren Fleshman's book Good For A Girl was named winner of the prestigious William Hill Sports Book of the Year. It was the first win for a running book, and the first win for a female author writing about female sports.

No son solo colegas: son compañeros, rivales, amigos. Y, cuando salieron del mundo de los debates estudiantiles para entrar en la escena nacional, llevaron consigo su política universitaria. Trece de los diecisiete primeros ministros británicos de la posguerra estudiaron en la Universidad de Oxford. En Amigocracia, Simon Kuper analiza cómo la atmósfera enrarecida y privilegiada de este estrechisimo círculo de talentos —y las amistades y visiones del mundo que creó— dio forma a la Gran Bretaña moderna. Una mirada condenatoria a la camarilla universitaria convertida en mayoría en la Cámara de los Comunes que abrirá de par en par las puertas de Westminster y cambiará para siempre la forma de ver la democracia del Reino Unido.Charlamos con Carolina Santano, traductoraSimon Kuper Kampala (Uganda), 1969 Escritor sudafricano-británico.

In the second part of my chat with The Sunday Times cricket correspondent, Simon Wilde, we discuss Ranjitsinhji's batting style and how he changed the appearance of 'batsmanship', the fluctuating fortunes of his only Test tour - that to Australia in 1897-98, his dramatic drop in form in 1902, and his less than successful return to cricket in 1920 with only one eye. ABOUT SIMON WILDE:Simon Wilde has covered five cricket World Cups and more than 250 England Test matches as the cricket correspondent of The Sunday Times. He has written 12 books, including the bestselling England: The Biography, which chronicles the story of the men's national team since 1877, and his latest publication is The Tour: The Story of the England Cricket Team Overseas 1877-2022. His biography Ranji: The Strange Genius of Ranjitsinhji was shortlisted for The William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award.CREDITS:Presenter & Producer: Tom FordAll music used in podcast comes from the University of California Santa Barbara's remarkable collection of wax cylinder's from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, which are free to download and use.

Cricket correspondent for The Sunday Times, Simon Wilde, joins the podcast to discuss the life and career of the so-called 'Father of Indian Cricket' – K.S. Ranjitsinhji. Born in India in 1872, 'Ranji' – as he was universally known – arrived in England in 1888 to further his education, but took the cricket world by storm with his unorthodox but highly effective batting style. At the height of his success, he was as famous as W.G. Grace. But despite his 'magical' ability in the eyes of the British, he was plagued by many off-field issues throughout his cricket career, including financial complications and fighting for his right to become the princely ruler of a state in India.

He has since gone on to become Chief Reporter for Cycling Weekly and Editor of Rouleur Magazine. In 2017 he won the William Hill Sports Book of the Year for Tom Simpson: Bird on the Wire. Matt spoke to Andy on the eve of the 2022 awards, where his second book, a Frank Vandenbroucke biography entitled God is Dead was shortlisted for the same prize.

Many people are asking how do we create legendary cultures in a digital / hybrid work environment. On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we ask Daniel Coyle this question: how can we create legendary cultures? Daniel Coyle is a New York Times bestselling author. His book, The Culture Code, was named the Best Business Book of the Year a little while back by Bloomberg. He has a new book out now, called The Culture Playbook: 60 highly effective actions to help your group succeed. He is the man on all things culture, so stay and listen to learn more. Daniel Coyle on Writing His New Book The conversation starts of with congratulating Daniel Coyle on publishing his latest book, The Culture Playbook. Daniel follows up on his thoughts on how he feels when launching a new project or book. “We are living through a moment, aren't we? It's like, when you start a project like this, you're never quite sure when it's going to land. And everybody's trying to figure out, “How are we going? How are we going to do this? How are we going to work together now? Everybody's having that conversation now. It is a moment, and it's kind of fun to explore what's possible” – Daniel Coyle The Transition Period Daniel was then asked about his thoughts on certain huge companies that are telling their people to go back to the office. Another thing to note was that those who are pushing for these things are usually those who are Native Analogs – people whose life don't revolve in the digital sphere. Daniel thinks that this current period is a transitional phase, and it's a way for companies to see what works and what doesn't. “Is it transition and it is totally fascinating to see us people self-organize in this new world. And there's basically two schools of thought about it. The first school of thought is, this was a rupture. People things will never go back to the way they were, people discovered that they had lives outside of work. Then there's another school of thought, which says, Yeah, this is kind of part of a larger, longer journey, there was a sort of zoom out where people realized, hey, life's a lot bigger than work. But at the same time, that there is kind of a joy and a pleasure and a positivity and a productivity that comes out of being in the office. It's maybe not five days a week, maybe it's three, maybe it's two.”    – Daniel Coyle Daniel admits that he himself falls under the second school of thought, and that going to the office can be quite beneficial for productivity, even if it's just 2 to 3 days off a week. Organizing Your Office for the New Work Experience On the topic of adopting the hybrid workplace, one of the issues brought up was the lack of coordination. For example, one could be scheduled to be at the office, yet the people who they have to work or have a meeting with are staying at home. Daniel agrees that this is currently happening in a lot of offices, and is something that the teams and management need to address. They have to be intentional and work out schedules where everyone in the team is in the office at the same time, so they can meet and collaborate on what needs to be done for their projects. Management can also help in coordinating schedules, so that different teams that need to work together can have overlapping schedules. But at the end of the day, the initiative to coordinate should come from the teams themselves. Otherwise, you'll be stuck in your cubicle, still doing zoom calls with your teammates.

Hamilton who is a three time winner of the prestigious https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Hill_Sports_Book_of_the_Year award has brought Larwood back to life through his maginicent account. Larwood remains one of the most tragic characters the game has ever seen given his relationship with MCC, English fans and the English cricket community suffered a great deal post the infamous Bodyline series. Hamilton talks about why he chose to write about the man from Trent Bridge and how one of the most misunderstood stories in cricket history had to be retold with a fresh perspective.

In this week's Throwback Thursday, we revisit my talk with Daniel Coyle who is a New York Times bestselling author of The Talent Code, The Little Book of Talent, The Secret Race (co-authored with Tyler Hamilton), Hardball: A Season in Projects, and other books.

In 1988, aged just 11 years and 330 days, Tom Gregory set off from the French coast in a bid to become the youngest person to ever swim the English Channel. Almost 12 hours later he arrived in Dover, cold and exhausted, but pushed on by his brilliant coach John Bullet. In episode 9 of Sportspages, Gregory recalls the remarkable story of how he went from not being able to swim a width without touching the bottom, to navigating the world's busiest shipping lane, and why he waited 25 years to put pen to paper. His memoir, A Boy in the Water was a dual winner of the 2018 William Hill Sports Book of the Year.

In episode 7 of Sportspages, Simon Clancy is joined by Australian writer Anna Krien to talk about her 2014 William Hill Sports Book of the Year award winner Night Games, which investigates the macho sexual culture of Aussie Rules football, misogyny, the nature of sexual assault and one player's trial for rape. Beginning with that court case and journeying through locker room culture and consent, Krien looks at the connection between sexual assaults on women perpetrated by professional sportsmen and discusses whether that emanates from the same precious yet insecure, chemistry of teamwork that produces transcendental moments on the field.

Simon Clancy is joined by Guardian sportswriter and author of 12 books - including two William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award winners - Donald McRae to discuss his 1996 ode to boxing's underbelly, Dark Trade. Written across five years with seven fighters - Mike Tyson, James Toney, Naseem Hamed, Oscar De La Hoya, Michael Watson, Chris Eubank and Roy Jones Jr - Dark Trade is a personal journey to the heart of boxing that examines the way in which race and violence sit within our society but also asks the question: why do men pursue fame in such a brutal way? From inside the dressing room with Toney in the final seconds before a bout, to ringside when Watson's life is changed forever, it's a fascinating insight into the make up of a fighting man.

Justin and Alex discuss the week 1 lines courtesy of the William Hill Sports Book, the most intriguing matchups of week 1 and our picks for week 1. All that and more!

In episode two of Sportspages, Simon Clancy speaks to the former Washington Post journalist turned author John Feinstein about his 1995 William Hill Sports Book of the Year and New York Times number one bestseller.

This is the story of how that book came together.

In episode one of Sportspages, Simon Clancy talks to Ronald Reng about his international bestseller which won the 2011 William Hill Sports Book of the Year. Robert Enke was the former Benfica, Barcelona, Hannover and Germany goalkeeper who hid his depression for many years before stepping in front of a passenger train in a small suburb of Hannover in 2009. Together they dig into Enke's death and life, the responsibility of writing a book based on someones private diaries, and the burden Reng felt immersing into Enke's life, or “living with a dead friend” as he describes it.
