Ep 6: Natasha Baker - A Paralympic Powerhouse

01/29/25 • 42 min

This week, Pippa and Tristan chat with the phenomenal and inspiring six-time Paralympic gold medallist, Natasha Baker. 🏅🐎 From early challenges to the gold medal that means the most, the incredible synergy she needs with her horses, and even parenting tips from the horse-mad—this conversation has it all!

Meanwhile, Tristan is fresh out of the bush (or, as Pippa insists, "the jungle") with a tan and a tale or two. And back to the horses - Pippa has lined up a cheeky little quiz to see just how much Tristan has learned so far...

Ep 5: Chasing a Lead - From Jockey to Journalist with Alice Plunkett

This week, Tristan is away—but fear not, we’ve got a very special episode for you. Pippa is in conversation with her old friend Alice Fox-Pitt (Plunkett), the only woman to have ridden at both Badminton and over the Grand National course at Aintree, before hanging up her rosettes to become a mainstay of horse racing coverage on both Channel 4 and ITV.

In a candid discussion, the pair explore Alice’s remarkable career, their husbands - including William Fox-Pitt’s recovery after a 2015 riding accident left him in a coma - and what’s next for Pippa...

Ep 7: Rise, Fall, and Reinvention with Inspirational Jockey - Mick Fitzgerald

Joining Tristan and Pippa this week is the one and only Mick Fitzgerald. A memorable winner of the Grand National in 1996 and the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 1999, he is now a mainstay of the ITV Racing team. From the joy of pony racing as a boy to the heartbreaking, life-changing accident at the 2008 Grand National, Mick’s story is nothing short of extraordinary. To paraphrase his famous quote on winning the Grand National: After that interview, even sex is an anticlimax.

Pippa also reveals to Tristan what really goes on at Sports Personality of the Year, and we answer your equine conundrums.
