Sports podcasts are booming across all platforms with the coronavirus pandemic sending larger audiences than ever before in search of news and light relief while in isolation.
From former sports stars sharing their top anecdotes to journalists revealing a lighter side to themselves, the sporting podcast world is abuzz with new content.
There are so many to choose from, across all sports, but here are some of our favourites on the go right now.
That Peter Crouch Podcast
Peter Crouch is hard to miss, his 6'7" frame can be picked out of a crowd by more than just football fans, and his podcast is one of the most popular out there right now, with many beyond the sporting world tuning in for his weekly words of... well, not entirely wisdom.
In an age of sterile modern day footballers, Crouch's grounded nature and bizarre anecdotes from inside the game make it a fascinating listen – even with the nonsensical chatter.
