Gail Emms, John Cross, Nish Kumar, Paul McNamee

Former GB badminton player Gail Emms, football journalist John Cross, The Big Issue editor Paul McNamee and comedian Nish Kumar join Rick Edwards for an hour of sporting punditry, humour and entertainment. Points are awarded for informed comment, wit and passion, but taken away for nonsense and answers lacking in conviction. In the final round, the top two points scorers go head-to-head in 'Defend the Indefensible' where they must both defend a statement however ludicrous or distasteful for twenty seconds. There can only be one winner! Listen to the podcast on BBC Sounds
