John Hughes survived a career as a policeman and murder detective. He also snowboarded and raced motorbikes for fun. Turns out the most dangerous thing he ever did was a bit of gardening.

John discusses his significant wobble, what he learnt and a couple of the more light-hearted moments from his time in hospital.

As promised in the intro...Skiing Before I Could Walk (bit of background to the stuff in the studio/my story)

Jacob Wester is a Swedish freeskier who experienced most skiers worst nightmare in spring 2026.

Jacob gives a terrifyingly detailed account of the avalanche and aftermath. He discusses rehab and injuries as a professional skier.

This first episode of The Wobbly Pod also touches on how Jacob helped Matt in his recovery from his wobble! (Here's the video where Jacob tries to teach me how to do a backflip in 2018!)
