Jo Diop and Kush Burman are the winners of the latest series of hit BBC series Race Across the World.

Here they are in their FIRST podcast interview since winning.

At just 19 years old, the childhood best friends from Liverpool travelled more than 12,000 kilometres across Europe and Asia, racing from Sicily to Mongolia without smartphones, flights or modern comforts, eventually crossing the finish line first and winning the £20,000 prize.

But what made Jo and Kush stand out wasn't just the race. Viewers connected deeply with their friendship, humour, honesty and the way they supported each other throughout the journey.

In this conversation, we discuss the reality of spending 51 days together, what the race taught them about friendship, anxiety, masculinity, travel, social media, human nature, and how life has changed since becoming two of the best-loved contestants the show has ever seen.

Interviews that might just change your life.

And if not…? You’ll probably enjoy them anyway.

Project Possible is a podcast about resilience, ambition, grief, reinvention, success, failure and what human beings are truly capable of.

Hosted by me, Rich Leigh, each episode explores the lives, minds and experiences of extraordinary people from business, sport, entertainment, science and beyond.

After my younger brother Jordan took his own life, I sold the PR agency I’d spent over a decade building and decided to go all-in on creating something meaningful.

This podcast is the result.
