  • An Australian Fireman Holding a Kitten?!
    Feb 24 2026

    Yes. That’s the episode title. No, we won’t explain it here.

    In the latest episode of Shut Up and Ride, Simon and I answer your questions — from who we actually follow on Instagram, to how Simon somehow ended up being compared to… well… an Australian fireman holding a kitten.

    We also revisit Jenny's ski “career.” And by career, we mean a series of unfortunate sliding incidents that absolutely nobody asked for but everyone seems to enjoy.

    But in between the chaos, we take a moment to pause and pay tribute to two extraordinary horses who recently passed — Sam, the legendary partner of Michael Jung, and Mr Bass, longtime partner of Laura Collett.

    These horses weren’t just medal winners. They were teammates, teachers, and once-in-a-lifetime partners. The kind that shape careers and leave a mark on the entire sport.

    It’s an episode full of laughter, listener questions, mild self-destruction… and a heartfelt salute to two greats.

  • Dr Louise Newson: “Eat Fruit and Pray?” No — Let’s Understand Hormones
    Feb 12 2026

    This week on Shut Up and Ride, we’re joined by the incredible Dr Louise Newson, one of the UK’s leading voices on women’s hormone health.

    From PMDD to perimenopause, menopause and everything in between, Dr Newson breaks down what’s really happening in our bodies — and why so many women are still being dismissed, misdiagnosed, or left to struggle in silence.

    At one point, we discuss the kind of advice women are still being given — including being told to “eat fruit and pray.” Yes, really. And we talk about why that simply isn’t good enough when it comes to serious hormonal and mental health symptoms.

    We dive into the mental health impact of hormone imbalance, including anxiety, depression and suicide risk, and the life-changing health benefits of getting the right support and treatment.

    We also put your questions directly to her — like why can’t women easily access testosterone? and how do we actually get our GP to listen to us?

    Jenny bravely shares parts of her own journey in the hope it helps others feel less alone and more empowered to advocate for themselves.

    And it’s not just for women. Ben gets involved to represent the men, asking the questions partners, husbands and friends often don’t know how to ask — because understanding hormones isn’t just a “women’s issue,” it’s a family issue.

    Honest, eye-opening and empowering — this is a conversation everyone needs to hear.

  • From tour to Darwin Awards
    Feb 5 2026

    We’re fresh off a hugely successful podcast tour and unpacking everything — the wins, the chaos, and the moments we’re still recovering from. Silly Prune (Hannah) joins the tour in truly iconic fashion, rolling up in a hilarious Liberty unicycle with full horse energy, while Becky Moody sends us all into a collective WTF moment (yes… we nearly killed her ). Somehow, through all of this, Simon became the happiest man on earth — and you’ll want to stick around to find out exactly why. Then we take a sharp turn into the Darwin Awards, celebrating some absolutely unreal human decisions. Tour tales, big laughs, and peak chaos — shut up and ride.

    Buckle up.
