VS

The North London derby, the regular fixture that defines a rivalry between neighbouring London football teams Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, has been simmering away for around a century. Harry Symeou and Kate Mason are two sports broadcasters who agree on their shared love of the beautiful game but when it comes to the North London derby these two are very much at opposite ends of the pitch. Harry is a lifelong Gunners fan who as a journalist and pundit can be seen talking football across CNN, Talksport and the BBC, as well as his popular podcast, The Chronicles of a Gooner. Kate is a Spurs fan whose heart is firmly in the northeast of London and she’s co-host of the Football Ramble podcast, a familiar face on TV with Eurosport and formerly Sky Sports, while also being a columnist for the Metro newspaper, too. The final whistle is in Coco Khan’s hands as your host and there can only be one winner – you the listeners decide – follow the link below to cast your vote.

Horsepower or pedal power? Four wheels or two? Can we have both during a climate emergency? Yassmin Abdel-Magied is a writer, broadcaster, social advocate and one-time racing car engineer. Her upcoming book later this summer is Stand Up and Speak Out Against Racism. Roma Agrawal – also known as Roma the Engineer – is a structural engineer, author and broadcaster, whose expertise helped build the Shard skyscraper in London. Her latest book is, Nuts and Bolts: Seven Small Inventions That Changed the World (in a Big Way). These two mechanical minds are both intrigued by the engineering marvels that make the world go round, but Yassmin says we should do it with four wheels in a car, and Roma with just two on a bicycle. Coco Khan is your host with the roadmap to victory and there can only be one winner – you the listeners decide – follow the link below to cast your vote.
