The Upshot

The Upshot pulls back the curtain on your favourite sports and dives into all the stuff BBC and Sky wouldn’t touch with a bargepole: drunken antics, dressing room squabbles and the simmering sexual tension of the French football team.Check out our semi-legendary newsletter that goes to 100,000+ subscribers: http://www.upshot.email?utm_source=poddescriptionAnd our Twitter account, where we dig into the archives and spill classic tales from the past: http://www.twitter.com/upshottowers

    Hilarious
    For those who get down when their team loses or they have a bad day at work or have heartache, this show will lift you up. Zach and Jack are funny, irreverent and intelligent hosts. Sure it’s a bit racy and scandalous but it’s all in good fun. They lift me up when I’m feeling down. And some of the intel is WILD!!
  • Flat Kelly
    Surprisingly Good
    Probably need a book deal as these stories and history, illustrated with photos, would be exceptional.
  • Cherrie Berry
    British Beavis and Buthead
    I enjoy the stories but sometimes I can’t get over the monotone voices that sound like beavis and butthead
