EP2, S4 with Ian Botham - You Ride the Torpedo Until the End of the Tube. News27 Feb 2024

Today's chat with Lord Ian Botham is one that made Gus' heart sing! It's not often we get to speak with a 'Lord' and Ian's got a few stories to tell!

Ian speaks about being a really sporty kid, choosing between cricket and football & the sacrifice of becoming a professional athlete as a teen; not that he minded when there were Maserati’s to look forward to! Ian shared some hilarious stories from his early days of being a cricketer and how much things have changed in modern sport. He speaks about the platform that cricket enabled him to have & launch his charity that has raised upwards of £65 million. Ian has done so many walks to raise money that he's practically made of spare parts now.

Ian is a family man and from everything that he's achieved and contributed, it's his family that he says is his biggest achievements; a big call for someone who has met the Queen and Nelson Mandela! We speak about the process of him being knighted and the honour that it carries.
 
As for all of these podcasts, Shaw and Partners have generously donated $10k to the charity of choice of each of our guests. Ian chose to donate the money to Beefy's Charity Foundation.

This podcast is brought to you by Shaw and Partners, hosted by Gus Worland and produced by Keeshia Pettit.
