“The first ever podcast covering polo” My name is Rupert Lewis I’m 27 I’ve played as a professional for 10 years and I’m 3 goals. I’ve played polo all over the world from Australia, South Africa, Dubai, Pakistan and Argentina. I became involved in the polo world from a young age in the pony club and all my family played my father played in the army I have 13 cousins on one side 9 of which played polo to some degree and 3 of us continue to play as professionals whilst one is the polo manager at Cirencester; so it’s in the blood!
The idea for the podcast came about one day whilst listening to podcasts on other sports whilst I was making young horses in Northern Ireland. I thought “I wonder why there’s no polo podcast”. Then I just decided to give it a go!
I want the podcast to be a varied platform covering everything from the high goal to the pony club polo. I have a lot of friends playing the sport at the highest level so I want to provide listeners with access to them. As well as trying to recall the brilliant, funny and classic tales often heard in clubhouses across the land! Throwing a lot of mud and hoping something sticks will be the order of attack!
