Episode 12: Jen McIntosh

Alasdair Hooper and Will Moulton bring you episode 12 of SportSpiel, a podcast full of sporting discussion and feature interviews.

In our first segment we discuss:

• Is England’s Ashes squad selection one of the weakest we’ve seen (2:15)?
• Should Ben Stokes be stripped of the England vice-captaincy and will he be on the Ashes tour (10:00)?
• Is British Bobsleigh’s latest announcement just a glimmer of good news in a swirl of controversy (12:57)?

Our feature interview segment in this episode is with British rifle shooter Jen McIntosh – Scotland’s most decorated female athlete in Commonwealth history (18:04).

She tells us what it’s like competing against her sister, living up to her mother’s own medal success as well as looking ahead to the fast-approaching Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in 2018.
