Who decided these people didn't matter?

Every athlete in this episode was elite, not just good, and the sports world still managed to forget them. Jacob goes solo to talk sports media, who actually gets the mic, and three untold stories for Black History Month UK.

🎙️ Fresh off the NFL London game, Jacob asks why sports media is so personality-driven and whether the people with real knowledge of the game are being overlooked.

Then three stories that should be taught in every school:🚴 Major Taylor, the fastest cyclist on the planet in 1899, banned from the track and died with nothing🏃‍♀️ Louise Stokes & Tidye Pickett, the first Black American women on an Olympic team, benched when they'd earned their place⚽ Arthur Wharton, the world's first Black professional footballer, whose grave stayed unmarked for decades

Joe is in Philadelphia and Jacob is on the move, but the NFL episode still gets delivered. We each went to a game this weekend: Jacob at Jaguars vs Texans at Wembley, and Joe at Eagles vs Panthers in Philly. We break down both, then get into the Jalen Hurts blood clot situation and the questions it raises about team doctors, travel and who gets cleared to play.

A GP, an aesthetics doctor and now a skincare founder. Dr Adetola Adegoke (Dr Tola) joins us to talk about building Yokuro, a luxury skincare brand made end to end in Nigeria.

We get into why Black skin still needs sunscreen, whether your 5-step routine is too much, what it really takes to register a product in Nigeria, the $25,000 formula dispute that nearly derailed the brand, and how faith guided the whole journey. Plus men's skincare, song of the week and a very honest Arsenal chat.
