The One with Johnathan Zemlik

Whether it’s representing the LGBTQ+ community as an officer with Keighley Cougars or playing himself in any free hour he’s got, Johnathan Zemlik is someone who lives and breathes rugby.

He’s run out for Leeds Hunters, Ossett RUFC, York Barbarians and a whole host of other clubs – and this summer, he’ll even be a key part of the world’s longest-ever rugby union match for the charities Looseheadz and Wooden Spoon, which both do amazing work in the game.

So, when he said he wanted to come onto the podcast to shout about that – and so much more! – we were always going to say ‘yes’.

This is a fascinating conversation with someone who lives and breathes rugby, but who didn’t actually get into the sport into relatively late – and it feels like he’s been making up for lost time ever since!

It’s a conversation with some exciting announcements, some touching revelations, and a chat with a really genuine man who has discovered his tribe in rugby and is now dedicated to having others do the same.

It’s just a brilliant chat with someone who embodies what grassroots sport is all about, and we think you’ll really love this chat with Johnathan today!
