Comedian Mark Steel joins the Final Word!

Season 13, Ep 3: There are not many cricket enthusiasts as knowledgeable and as garrulous as historian / comedian / chat-merchant Mark Steel. He has delved into the history of the game before, as we do every week, and he still turns up to play and watch on a regular basis, between making the many radio and television programs that fill his life. Time for us to sit back with a rum and let him roam free. Plus a historian's own Nerd Pledge.

I randomly stumbled across Mark's coffee table book about cricket about 20 years ago, it was a lovely little way to while away a few minutes on the bog.

Mark Steel is a treasure, his 'Mark Steel's in town' series are magnificent.

[@FinalWordCricket]

He sure is.

[@karannagpal1112]

Bloody hell that was a surprisingly amazing listen! I hadn't heard of Mr Steel before. Hearing Geoff cracking up in the background was pretty funny too! 🤣🤣

[@FinalWordCricket]

Haha. Have a listen to some of Mark's history podcasts, they're great fun.

[@synecdochelloyd3825]

Also his podcast, Mark Steel's in Town. Amazing stuff. Enjoy.

Loved this. I only know Mark Steel from his wonderful appearances on the Bugle with Andy Zaltzman - I didn't know he had been part of the Test Match Sofa team. I do love Guerrilla Cricket, but I wish I had known that there was an alternate TMS when it was a going concern!

[@FinalWordCricket]

He's outstanding.

Lovely pod…really enjoyed. Mark steel is both incredibly funny and thoughtful…even if you don’t agree with all his political views!

Quite right: sincerity without sanctimony is a winning combination.
