What was it really like covering the Commonwealth Games?

Sports Editor Elliot Corbel is joined by Sports Reporters Archie Corbett and Oliver Kidman, who were on the ground in Glasgow covering Team Jersey throughout the Games.

The trio reflect on the highs and lows of reporting from a major international sporting event, discuss Filip Nowacki's breakthrough performances in the pool, Jersey's impressive bowls campaign against world-class opposition, memorable moments from the athletics track, and the efforts of Oliver Dodds and Steven Rabet in the weightlifting and judo.

They also share some of the stories from behind the scenes, the atmosphere around the venues and the moments that made Glasgow 2026 such a memorable Games for Team Jersey.

What do courtrooms and theatres have in common? According to Advocate Simon Thomas – quite a lot.

A partner at Baker & Partners, Simon has spent more than 30 years working on some of Jersey's highest profile legal cases, including the L'Ecume II collision trial last year.

Away from the courtroom, however, he swaps legal submissions for stage directions as director of Come From Away, the internationally acclaimed musical based on the extraordinary true story of thousands of airline passengers stranded in the tiny Canadian town of Gander after the 9/11 attacks.

He dropped into the Bailiwick Podcasts studio to speak to Bailiwick Express Editor Fiona Potigny about doing justice to real-life stories, whether musicals deserve more credit than they’re often given, and whether there’s any truth in the old cliché that "all barristers are failed actors"…

Come From Away runs at the Opera House (which is gloriously air-conditioned) until 11 July – don't miss out,get your tickets here.
