Standard Issue Podcast

If it’s escaped your attention that there’s a Winter Olympics getting underway at the end of the week, it might be because you think us Brits aren’t much cop at all that cold stuff. Think again, say former GB snowboarder turned TNT Sports pundit, Aimee Fuller, and Chief Exec of GB Snowsport, Vicky Gosling.

With the pair hoping for a huge uptick in Team GB’s fortunes at the upcoming Milano Cortina 2026, Jen caught up with them to chat about the remarkable turnaround in our British team’s fortunes since Beijing in 2022, whether or not it’s good to be an underdog, and the TNT Sports documentary She Who Dares.

You can watch 24/7 coverage of Milano Cortina 2026 on TNT Sports and Discovery+.

Anna Maloney’s fast-paced new thriller The 10:12 is set onboard a hijacked train, and some passengers aren’t just going to sit back and do as they’re told. One in particular, Claire Fitzroy, a late mid-life arts teacher, ruffles feathers when she not only takes action, but takes charge. 

Anna chats to Mick about how wildly recollections of events may differ, have-a-go heroes (and heroines), and why you should never underestimate a woman in her mid-life. 

There is, as ever, more chat for our £5 and above patrons, so if you fancy getting involved, visit patreon.com/standardissue.
