Dan Cole and Ben Youngs review their first year in podcasting, but probably too soon after they come home from the supermarket at Christmas. In this episode, you’ll hear from Ellis Genge, Joe Marler and George Ford as we bring you some of our favourite moments of 2024. Plus there are behind the scenes stories of early records in Ben’s kitchen and the time we managed to not record the best rugby podcast of all time.

In this episode, Joe Marler returns to the FTLOR studio to answer your questions. Ben Youngs and Dan Cole spend most of the episode giggling or confused as Joe contemplates how many jelly babies he can eat in 10 minutes, and queries the legitimacy of every message that gets sent in. He’s also desperate to get the train home.

Ben Youngs and Dan Cole take their podcast kit to Manchester to document a weekend as Premiership rugby players. They room together, share maltesers and give you an hour by hour guide to away games. Which is mainly just eating. 

Ben takes part in a Crufts-style event for Topps Tiles, Pat Lam’s one thousand touches sounds exhausting, and there is no neat way of eating popcorn.
