The Jack Murley Sports Show

The One with Ash Harwood

Ash Harwood is someone who has spent plenty of time pounding pavements around the world.
As a member of the London Frontrunners inclusive running club, Ash is used to racking up the miles – with marathons and other endurance events under his belt in all sorts of different cities, including most recently in Paris and London.
But if you didn’t know Ash from that, you’ve almost certainly seen him on BBC1 – where he was a big part of the hit reboot of the classic show Gladiators.
Ash said he wanted to be part of that show to represent the LGBTQ+ community in sport, so of course we were going to get Ash onto the podcast to have a chat about everything to do with his life in and out of sport.
This is a conversation that includes everything you’d expect, as we chat to Ash about his love of marathon running and where that came from; the skill that it takes to get into endurance running, his time on Gladiators, the importance of that visibility and loads, loads more.
It’s a cracking conversation with Ash that we loved and we think you’ll love as well!

The One with Daniel Hutchings

Daniel Hutchings has been involved in football for as long as he can remember.
Starting out, it was as a playing and watching as a kid, and then, it was in the role of a football analyst - which he performed as Barnet, Stevenage FC and, in his current job, at Cavalry FC in the Canadian Football League.
The beautiful game means everything to Daniel – and in January 2022, he decided to open up about the fact he happened to be gay in an emotional post on social media.
The outpouring of support for Daniel after that post was huge - overwhelming, in some ways – and since then, Daniel has got his head down and let his football do the talking.
So when he dropped us a message, saying he was ready to have a chat about his journey, on and off the pitch, we were only ever going to say yes to having him on!
And that decision means ever more due to the fact this is the first time that Daniel has ever had a conversation like this publicly, and we’re hugely grateful he's decided to do it with us.
We talk about Daniel’s obsession with football; what analysis actually means in practice; how it feels when the analysis delivers results on the pitch; the move to Canada; his decision to speak publicly about his sexuality; the reaction to it; and loads, loads more.
We loved this conversation and we think you will as well - and we're really glad that Daniel took the time to join us for it!
