In this week's episode of Stop The Press! Bill, Nick and Rob discuss what's been happening in the news, (or rather what's been happening in Trump-land) because that's the only show in town at the moment, and there's lots to discuss.

The guys also discuss Starmer, Epstein, and who the heck owns Greenland now, oh... and is Warner Brother's sale to Netflix another nail in the coffin for old media?

It’s irreverent, light-hearted and very very cynical.

In Part 2 of the press and England sport pod, Bill, Rob, and Nick take on one of the biggest ethical questions in journalism: does the press go too far in pursuit of a headline?

Using the historic but high-profile sting operations involving Sven-Göran Eriksson and Sam Allardyce as flashpoints, the trio explore where the line sits between exposing wrongdoing and manufacturing a scandal. When reporters set the trap, steer the conversation, and shape the narrative, are they uncovering the truth - or creating a story that didn’t really exist?

The discussion digs into the ethics of “gotcha” journalism, the pressure to feed the news cycle, and how these tactics affect public trust - not just in the press, but in the people they target.

England’s Ashes tour of Australia didn’t just take place on the pitch - it played out in headlines, columns, and outrage too. From stories about drinking culture to fierce criticism of Bazball tactics, the coverage often felt less like analysis and more like a prosecution - in the UK and Australia.

In this episode of Stop The Press!, Rob, Bill, and Nick ask a blunt question: have the media and press overstepped the mark with England’s sporting teams - and does it genuinely affect their chances of success?

They explore how the scrutiny around the cricket team echoes the relentless criticism aimed at the England football team in the 90s and 00s - where every misstep became a national crisis, and the pressure often seemed to grow louder than the game itself.

Is tough journalism part of holding teams accountable… or have we created a culture where England can’t build momentum without being torn down first?
