EP5: Wellbeing

Is mental health in sport actually important, or is it just trendy to say so? When a sports reporter joins the show to plug his new book and pushes the importance of player welfare, Des and Lisa expose his hypocrisy, and remind him of his on-air bullying from a previous show.     Meanwhile, ex-pro Eddie Miller promotes his campaign to help footballers deal with abuse, bringing with him an anonymous, voice-altered player to read out some of the vitriol he’s received, to the embarrassed amusement of Lisa.  Darren Foster, host of the breakfast show phones in to tell the hosts that the game’s gone, and everyone has turned soft. Des gets his horoscope read by a faith healer, who also uses her skills to predict the coming weekend’s results.  Starring Lolly Adefope, Fergus Craig, Jessica Fostekew & Helen Cripps Also featuring: Sunil Patel, David Elms, Joe Barnes, Lily Knight, Glen Moore, Rhys James, and Luke Kempner.  Written by Rhys James & Mark G Smith Produced, Engineered and music by Tom Jenkins Executive Produced by Tayo Popoola Directed by Mark G Smith Created by Tayo Popoola A Furious Styles Production, for Keep It Light Media.  Learn more about your ad choices.
