Tom Pidcock's only gone and finished on a Grand Tour podium | Watts Occurring

September 15, 2025 • 40 mins
Yes, that's right: Tom Pidcock's done it. In the midst of his varied and incredibly successful career, people had begun to doubt if Tom would ever finish on a Grand Tour podium. Not anymore. Luke and G were amongst them, but they're delighted to have a slice of humble pie on today's pod. Fair play, Tom. Of course, Jonas Vingegaard's done the business and won another Grand Tour. How long can he stay at the top? And will second pla...

G's a chopper and Brennan's a beast | Lloyds Tour of Britain stage three | Watts Occurring

September 4, 2025 • 36 mins
We had a British winner at the Lloyds Tour of Britain today - and it angered G! Much to Luke's amusement. 20-year-olds shouldn't have 12 wins in a pro season according to G, but Brennan is putting on a show this year. Can he win the whole race? Luke thinks he might just do exactly that. Elsewhere, Luke's been causing crashes, G's nearly had his arm ripped off, and we're wrapping him in Watts Occurring cotton wool until Cardiff. ...

Luke attacking INEOS?! Lloyds Tour of Britain stage two | Watts Occurring

September 3, 2025 • 33 mins
Lloyds Tour of Britain day two is in the books and it was another big, dominant sprint win for Olav Kooij. Behind the scenes, G was accusing Luke of attacking INEOS during a puncture while Luke was giving all his tactics away to Visma Lease-a-Bike. Both those stories will make sense when you listen. Brilliantly as well, the lads are sharing a hotel tonight - so they were able to pod in the same room! That does't happen very often...

Late flights, a big sprint, and a new music star | Lloyds Tour of Britain stage one | Watts Occurring

September 2, 2025 • 33 mins
There's been a lot of build up to G's final race and, well, he nearly missed it. A plane mechanical and a thunder storm conspired to stop him travelling to Suffolk until 1am last night, but he got there. Thank the lord for that. We'd have had to rip up some big old Watts Occurring plans. Anyway, he rolled out from Woodbridge this morning resplendent in his new INEOS jersey aboard his stunning special edition Pinarello DOGMA F and...

There was G, minding his own business on a leisurely training ride, when a flipping triathlete overtook him. Minutes later, the Cam Wurf wannabe had been pulled over the by the Gendarme for riding too fast.

Pre-Tour de France, a lot of names were thrown around for the top 10. Not many lists had Scotsman Oscar Onley on them.

Fourth place overall, with a remarkable eight top-10 finishes, Oscar announced himself on the biggest stage and finished just a minute off the podium.

    Cardiac Cowboys

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
