Lost Forward

Heroes and Chileans

September 14, 2023 14:55 - 24 minutes - 46.4 MB

"Oh Biggar off." The first cut is the deepest, but that won't stop us. This week, Kath and Lo are making a patchwork podcast via voice note because we are boundary pushers, we are innovators...and we can't find a decent Zoom connection. Enjoy our musings on drop goals, giving your own players stick, ignoring the "narrative", and heroes and villains. It's the Rugby World Cup, lads, and we're on WhatsApp.

Hullabaloo and Hand-wringing

September 03, 2023 13:49 - 26 minutes - 48.8 MB

Who's excited for the Rugby World Cup? We are. Who's sick and tired of Fiji, Samoa and other competitive, highly ranked nations being called "surprising" and "Tier 2"? WE ARE. Who knows how this World Cup will go? Not us. Are we ready? Probably not. Are we tipsy? Certainly. Are we super psyched? You know it. It's the birth of bimbo rugby and it's beautiful.

The Truth Will Set You Free

March 06, 2023 20:16 - 27 minutes - 51.2 MB

We are back, we’re in a bad way...and so is Welsh rugby. After the men’s third Six Nations 2023 defeat, not even Kath’s spectacularly tasteful flat can disguise the fact that things ain’t pretty. So why pretend? Lost Forward is ripping off the plaster and letting it all out. We might regret it, we might still be under the influence. We might just be moaning for 30 minutes while battling a cold. Maybe we are. But the truth will set you free.

What's Love Got To Do With It?

February 17, 2022 14:47 - 40 minutes - 76.2 MB

It's Valentine's Day and Kath and Lo are crazy in love...with the weekend's action. Lo shares her hot take on Antoine Dupont (before Matt Dawson says it a week later in the paper). Kath shares her extensive notes on a never-in-doubt Welsh victory over Scotland. Join us as we discuss Ellis Genge's potential as England's replacement fly-half and Zammo's reluctance to bundle Darcy Graham into touch. There's also a quiz, a Kourtney Kardashian kameo, and an answer to the million dollar quest...

Lost Forward Season Two - Don't Call it a Comeback

February 08, 2022 09:45 - 23 minutes - 44.2 MB

Kath and Lo are back at it...but are they even talking about rugby? It's been a while, babes, so we thought we'd return during the Men's Six Nations to muse on: what the hell we've been up to; Lo's vibe curation; whether Welsh rugby has hit rock bottom; who of us is more like Marcus Smith, and how good KL is at renovation work. It's a caulker. We've missed you. Buckle up.

Keeping it Cleall

April 08, 2021 08:55 - 31 minutes - 58.2 MB

Kath and Lo are back! shooting the (redacted) and working on our natural chemistry. We ponder a thought-provoking start to the Women’s Six Nations and lush feedback from our interview with Megan Jones (check it out!). We also ask: how to analyse women’s Test rugby without considering the unevenness of the playing field? There’s also hot news from Aotearoa as the Crusaders lose at home (finally!) and the ladies ponder whether the rip is the new jackal. Plus: Lo reveals why she should ne...

Lost Forward meets Megan Jones

April 03, 2021 10:26 - 39 minutes - 73 MB

Kath and Lo are delighted to share their first ever interview on the Lost Forward podcast! Who better to kick off for us than the inimitable Megan Jones, a Cardiff lass who is pure class!

Hello Darkness, My Old Friend

March 24, 2021 14:09 - 33 minutes - 62.1 MB

We all know what happened on the weekend, and we are not gonna lie: we’re sad. Kath and Lo are feeling the familiar pull of the Welsh whirlpool of melancholy. There’s an ice cream van circulating ominously in the background. Lo’s Ritter Sport doesn’t even taste good. We can’t be objective. We can’t be dispassionate. We can’t be journalists for you, babes. So we’re just going to share what we feel. Some massive shout-outs to our crew, fans, friends and family; a few classy innuendos as a...

MotherGrubber

March 17, 2021 17:39 - 43 minutes - 81.2 MB

Recorded on Mother’s Day, released on St Patrick’s Day ☘️, this week’s ep is brought to you by Tadhg Furlong’s dancing feet, Ken Owens’ kicking from hand and Romain Poite’s chaotic energy. Listeners, don’t be scared. Kath and Lo feel #blessed: Ken and Taulupe scored; Akira had a MOTM performance in New Zealand; Wales have beaten Italy comfortably; Anthony Watson remains pure class. ....but we are still complaining. Should Wales have been more ruthless? Was Ken robbed of his chance for a ...

Hot Mess

March 03, 2021 11:27 - 39 minutes - 74.3 MB

We are back and the raging hot mess of 2021 continues. For a start, we missed a doozy by not connecting the name of our pod with the weekend’s most controversial decision - just another overlooked knock-on, we spose....👀 As well as controversy and discipline, Kath and Lo talk through the positives from Wales v England, prospects for the Wales v Italy and why it’s time to leave “as long as we beat the English“ behind. There’s a quick round up of the action in New Zealand and the last secti...

Not Emotional and Not Erratic

February 16, 2021 20:15 - 41 minutes - 77.1 MB

Giddy with the news we have expanded our fanbase, Kath and Lo chat through the weekend's highlights and try out some new features for the pod. We cover: Wales' unbeaten run (against 14 men); Anthony Watson and LRZ being class; long-standing rivalries; our bid to become a trilingual pod, and Lo's questionable pun game. We also pose an important question for you to ponder: why are people still sleeping on Justin Tipuric? Thank you for the support and feedback! Big shout-out to you all!
