BBC Radio 4 - Saturday Live, Eddie Hearn

Endurance athlete Polar Preet, musician Breis and the Inheritance Tracks of Louis Theroux.

Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, unwitting merchandising-star Myron Lloyd, Hip Hop educator Breis, Polar Preet on her solo expedition to the South Pole and Louis Theroux's ITs.

Eddie Hearn joins Nikki Bedi and Rev. Richard Coles. One of the biggest boxing promoters in the world, Eddie represents some of the biggest names in the sport, including Anthony Joshua and Katie Taylor. He talks about what drives him to succeed and the biggest challenges he’s faced.

This weekend is the Llangollen Eisteddfod, an international music and dance festival in North Wales, which has been running since 1949.  In 1956, when she was 15, Myron Lloyd entered the Welsh singing competition in a traditional costume and had her photograph taken.  She thought nothing of it, until a few years later, when she discovered she’d become famous all over Wales, and beyond.

Hip Hop educator Breis grew up in London and Lagos. Music helped him readjust after moving countries. Rather than entering the corporate world after gaining a maths degree, Breis has continued to pursue his passions, creating music and publishing books, including Diary of a Creative Mind.

Louis Theroux chooses his Inheritance Tracks: Janie Jones by The Clash and Sha-La-La (Make Me Happy) by Al Green.

Harpreet Chandi MBE, also known as ‘Polar Preet,’ talks about creating history by becoming the first woman of colour to complete an unsupported solo expedition to the South Pole.

Derek Chisora and Kubrat Pulev are meeting for a second time for a boxing rematch at The O2 on Saturday 9 July 2022.
Theroux the Keyhole by Louis Theroux is out now.
