Bruce Springsteen’s Time In Britain To Be Explored In BBC Doc

An exclusive new interview with the The Boss himself will feature in a BBC documentary about Bruce Springsteen in the UK. When Bruce Springsteen Came To Britain will tell the story of how a 26-year-old Springsteen and the E Street Band first arrived in the UK in November 1975 for a sold-out performance at the Hammersmith Odeon, giving his new album Born to Run its European premiere. In his exclusive sit-down, Springsteen will tell stories and reveal how he was so disappointed by his own performance that night that he couldn’t watch the footage back for over 30 years. The doc is being produced by All3Media-backed Wise Owl Films. Rachel Davies, Commissioning Editor, BBC Music said: “Bruce Springsteen is not only a global music icon, but he’s an honorary Brit here in the UK. We know BBC...

Platform Media has created the UK’s leading content supergroup through a merger with Listen Entertainment and Goldhawk Productions. With combined revenues deep into eight figures and over 70% growth in the past year, Platform Media brings together market leaders in video podcasting, immersive audio storytelling, branded entertainment and social amplification to offer a one-stop shop of best-in-class production, media, marketing and monetisation, all under one roof.

Having worked together under parent company PodX for nine months, Josh Adley, Managing Director of Listen, and Matthew Sherry, CEO of Platform Media, will step in as co-CEOs, driving the company’s next phase of expansion.

At the heart of Platform Media’s success is a 360° approach that has transformed the commercial ceiling of podcasts. The company’s collection of services has turned hit shows into digital brands that generate seven figures each year, with one alone hitting £3 million.

Platform Media is kicking off...

Platform Media, the next-generation media company, has today announced its majority acquisition of The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, the world’s biggest rugby show.

Launched in 2020 by England legends Mike Tindall and James Haskell alongside veteran presenter Alex Payne, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby spans audio, video and social and is widely recognised as the most vibrant media brand in rugby. The chart-topping podcast is now in its fifth season, with digital and social channels boasting almost one million followers.

The show has been on the road across the UK and Ireland for several theatre tours and launched numerous spinoffs, including a new book, regional titles in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, a paid subscriber-only show, and a format dedicated to women’s rugby starring England’s all-time record scorer Emily Scarratt, England scrum-half Natasha ‘Mo’ Hunt and renowned broadcaster Elma Smit.

Mike Tindall may not have family members to bash and trash in upcoming book – except maybe the poor rugby ball – but that doesn’t mean it won’t make a great read.

We can’t all happen to have famous family members we don’t like very much that we can trash to feed the raging masses in return for some million bucks, now can we?

With Prince Harry’s book making a return in paperback form, experts are convinced Tindall’s might even give it a run for its money at the local market.

Mike Tindall’s New Book To Explore the Highs And Lows Of Friendship And Rugby

The paperback version of Harry’s ‘Spare’ has dropped in the US, with no new details or updates made in the book, despite experts already debunking certain claims.

In the new book by Mike Tindall, “The Good, the Bad, & the Rugby-Unleashed,” he discloses what Prince William and Kate Middleton are really like behind closed doors.

Mike Invited William And Kate To his Podcast

In September 20223, Mike Tindall welcomed the Prince and Princess of Wales and Princess Anne on his podcast, recorded during the Rugby World Cup, with co-hosts James Haskell and Alex Payne. Like the book’s title, Mike started his podcast with the same name in August 2020.

The podcast series involves the trio bantering about sports, social issues, and pop culture. It’s become very popular, earning a following of about three million subscribers.

When speaking about the royal couple, Mike said,

“I think the podcast humanized them a little bit, and I kind of wished they’d let us put the uncut version out because I think it would have blown the public away,”

Mike exclaimed.

Mike Tindall, who turned 46 on October 18, is a guy’s guy, as the former rugby player has solidified himself in the royal family’s inner circle. Mike is married to the daughter of Princess Anne, Zara Tindall, who is known for being an accomplished equestrian.

Mike’s Final Weekend With His “Boys” Before The Wedding Was Wild

Tindall, whose affectionate nickname for Prince William behind closed doors is “One Pint Willy,” Mike, a seasoned beer drinker, explained that the Prince of Wales is not one of the best drinkers.

Tindall comes from a humble background compared to his royal relatives. His easygoing style was initially seen as “cheeky” and mischievous, but the royals grew to accept Tindall and embrace him.

His final weekend with “the boys” before marrying Zara resulted in a gargantuan bar bill. “I got ripped,” Mike admitted. The royal family quickly told him they had read about his boyish antics.

When it comes to football, you can find the Wales family especially sold on the sport, more so for Prince William and his oldest son Prince George.

It’s pretty obvious that the 11-year-old has a growing love for sports, with his father Prince William recently sharing that he loves scuba diving. Apart from sharing his dad’s passion for football, he also more or less inherited his passion for flying – taking to the skies for the first time aged 10.

Prince George Will Watch Football “Wherever He Is”

Mike Tindall and nephew Prince George are proud football fans and keen followers of the sport. In a new interview with The Telegraph, Mike Tindall, whose closeness with the Waleses has been widely documented, talked about sharing his love of football with his young nephew.

“George loves his football. I’ve played numerous times in the garden with him,” Mike, 45, told the outlet.
