The Kickabout With Johnny Vaughan

Radio X

Join Johnny Vaughan and Gavin "The Woodman" Woods for an alternative build-up to the weekend's sport, plus a look at off-the-ball news, quirky stories and, more often than not, bizarre impressions of Rugby League fans. The boys celebrate sporting superstars, interview athletes and most importantly shine a spotlight on grass roots warriors plying their trade on hungover sundays. Tune in to Radio X at 11am on Saturdays to hear the show - Radio X is available across the UK on digital radio, 104.9 FM in London, 97.7 FM in Manchester, on your mobile or via www.radiox.co.uk

    Episode 533 - The Billie Jean King Laver Cup Special

    There are two main takeaways from this week's show: 1) A professional Saturdays-man knows that dealing with the leaves is an excellent task for someone who wants to look like they're GSDing (getting stuff done). 2) It doesn't matter about the facts, this is The Kickabout. Apart from that, Toby Tarrant swung by for another Terrifically Topical Kickabout Top 10, and it really was terrific. You can hear The Kickabout live on Radio X from 11am every Saturday.
