Home & Hosed
The Home & Hosed Podcast is a new series of podcasts hosted by Freddy Clode, whereby he meets serial high achievers across all walks of life, from sportsman to musicians and doctors to film producers to find out the secrets to success.
Today on Home and Hosed we're lucky enough to be joined by one of the most incredible guests you could ever imagine in Mr George King.
George is the only person in history to free climb the UK's tallest building in 'The Shard' and did so at the tender age of 19 years old which makes his achievements even the more remarkable.
Sadly achieving this feat led to The Shard prosecuting George's actions which resulted in a 6 month sentence to be served at one of the most notoriously dangerous prisons in the UK.
We talk about George's childhood growing up and what shaped him to become such a daredevil, his early climbs, his preparation, double life, secrets he keeps from his family, his year of planning for 'The Shard', the climb, the celebrations, the highs and then of course the incredible lows, life in jail, prison food, home made hootch, drugs, suicide, cell mates and a lot more....
Today we’re joined by the voice of the English summer in Mr Daniel Norcross, described by Wisden as the most interesting commentator of the new generation, Daniels rise to the top hasn’t been easy, but its been a wonderful ride.
Having been suspended from Oxford University for going overboard with a prank, when Daniel eventually did graduate unlike his peers who went off to the city, he went to Tooting Bec and became a professional pub quiz machine player after coming up with a flawless strategy which allowed him to always beat the machine.
Alas, this couldn’t last for ever yet it kick started a career which varies from - attempting to exploit the dot.com boom, to being a lead writer on a film, until he finally found his calling by setting up the infamous ‘Test Match Sofa’ - a rated R version of the show which now gives him his livelihood in Test Match Special.
In Part 2 we examine how Daniel Norcross eventually achieved his dream and became a lead commentator on the world famous - Test Match Special.
Recorded live from The Wheatsheaf Pub - Tooting.
