It's that time of year again, the 2026 Big Olympic Quiz! We have two teams of Olympic fans ready to battle through five rounds of trivia over the course of a couple of hours, it is a huge episode. On one side we have our reigning champions Jill & Alison from Keep The Flame Alive, while on the other it is the makeshift team of Patrick Riley & Colin from Off The Podium. Who will win? Time to find out! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Fantasy Five Rings concludes our Summer of Sport specials by heading back to the Commonwealth Games. I am joined by the always awesome Sheldon the Rapper to discuss everything that we did at the Games in person. We discuss sports, giant horse heads, well-cooked steak and a whole lot on top of that!

We just couldn't keep away! And for good reason as there were a few things from this past summer that we wanted to talk about here at Fantasy Five Rings. Firstly, I am joined by David de Guzman to discuss what happened at the Commonwealth Games, then following that we welcome back rapper X-It as we try and review the World Cup in probably the weirdest order possible! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Series 4 concludes with Part 2 of our series finale, and this time round we are joined by the Birthday Boy, Sheldon the Rapper as we discover who is coming top of our medal tables. Come for the End of Series Game, stay for the tangents, the quizzes and the freestyle rap! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Series 4 of Fantasy Five Rings has flown by and we have already reached our Finale, and in this first part I am joined by Patrick Riley as we play the End of Series Game and find out which FFR guest has funded their country the best in the first batch of events. On top of this, we also talk Closing Ceremonies, play some quizzes and even discuss Patrick's recent foray into volunteer work at the World Cup. Hosted on Acast.

With the series finale sneaking up on us, we take one final stop to play a game. This week on Fantasy Five Rings, we play That's Not Handball with Handball commentator and theatre director Chris O'Reilly, where the rules are simple. Chris will list terms from the various sports he's played, I need to guess whether or not they are from Handball. Prepare to learn some stuff! Hosted on Acast.

We continue on with Series 4 of Fantasy Five Rings as we welcome our last brand new guest of the series, Steve Farrell, aka Lord Stephen Farrell, aka the singer from Knotted, aka the creator of Our Town.

We've reached the final part of our Tales From Milan-Cortina mini-series within a series and after hearing all the stories from Patrick, Jill & Alison, it's the turn of the co-host of the podcast Off The Podium, Ben Waterworth, to reveal everything he got up to during his trip to Italy at the start of the year.

5 of these Quiz episodes are gone and so we reach the final match of the competition between Jamie McBride from the Off The Underside podcast & Ben Waterworth from the Off The Podium podcast. Ben is still in the running for the title if he can get a big win, but Jamie is not going to lay down as he looks for his first win of the competition. It's going to be a big ending! Hosted on Acast.
