2021 is upon us. Covid’s still here. Winter training is well underway. The calendar is teeming (but for how long, we don’t know). And - most excitingly - Backstraight is back.

In their first pod of the new year, Jody, Bayo, and Claire are joined by Olympic medallist and broadcasting superstar Kath Merry, to discuss everything 2021: the events we can expect to happen and are most excited for; the stars we can't wait to see - both established and rising; and what we would guarantee for this season, if we were given a magic wand each with one wish in it...

Expect plenty of Tokyo and Karsten, Wightman and Weightman, shot put and trials - and, bizarrely,  a big love-in for the hosts with the mosts this season: Poland.

We're thrilled to be back, and want this year to be our best ever. YOU can help make that happen, by letting us know what sort of content you'd like, and by leaving us a review.

Want to get in touch? @KatharineMerry, @BackstraightB, and @Claire_GThomas

We hope that you and yours are happy and healthy, and that this listen is a fun hour in a pretty tough January x
