🎤 The Upshot podcast is here

You’ve heard the rumours. The frenzied speculation on Whatsapp. The drip feed of hints on Sky Sports News.

And now it’s official: The Upshot podcast is here.

Each week we’ll delve into the biggest scandals in sport: drunken antics, sordid secrets and everything else BBC Sport won’t touch with a bargepole.

Our first episode uncovers the scandalous saga of Jermaine Pennant, the ex-Arsenal and Liverpool bad boy whose track record of boozing, law-breaking and shagging would make Maradona’s eyes water.

From threesomes with Ashley Cole to cat murder cover-ups, join Jack and Zach from The Upshot, and Mickey Down (co-creator of HBO series Industry) to spill the story of a winger who put the naughty in the noughties.

And there might even be some football in there too…
