The Urnbelievable Ashes Podcast

This 2021/2 Ashes series might be unbelieveable but it's not urnbelieveable. However if you still want a podcast mix of comedy, cricket, Andy Zaltzman, Felicity Ward and stats then do check out The Bugle Ashes Urncast available wherever you get your podcasts.

A bonus Ashes 2019 souvenir containing Steve Smith, Ben Stokes, silly press conferences, stats, pregnancy anger and the last No Paine No Gain. Thanks to all who listened and until next time, may the cricket be with you.

Felicity returns to the studio to celebrate Australia's victory and deliver an emphatic No Paine No Gain. Trying to consol himself, Andy points out that Australia have retained the Ashes not won it. And there's a bumper stat whack to pay homage to the great Steve Smith.

In a late substitution Felicity retired ill from the podcast field, so her Marnus Labuschagne is Declan Fay. However from her sick bed she still brings you No Paine No Gaine and Sick Burns! Andy is also joined by UK comedy legend Mark Steel to talk Ben Stokes, the return of Steve Smith and the best 1 not out in history.

Last episode Felicity offered various comedy ways to get Steve Smith out. One of them was to try and hurt him. Jofra Archer clearly listens to the podcast and took this advice seriously. We can only apologise by offering Nish Kumar, more Ashes sketches and a preview of the Leeds Test.
