Ep 1: Adam Smith (Sky Sports and Soccer AM Presenter) | Travelling for Football, Proposal Panic & Living With Diabetes
Today I'm joined by my great friend and Sky Sports presenter Adam Smith, or Smithy as he's often known. Having worked with Smithy for over five years we have shared numerous travel memories from snowy trips to Burnley to driving along the south-coast of France, but it was great to hear more about the holidays and travel experiences that have shaped his life.Adam Smith has become a popular face across a range of Sky Sports shows from Saturday Social to Goals on Sunday, but it was on Soccer AM that he got his break in the industry. We spoke about how he started working on the popular football show, the hilarious encounters he has experienced whilst in character as 'Franky Fryer' and his impressive knowledge of British football clubs.Something you may not know about Smithy is that he suffers with Type 1 Diabetes. We speak about the difficulties he faces both on a daily basis and whilst travelling, and why he finds it so important to help others who are suffering with the serious condition.Travelling to Lapland as Franky Fryer - 6:34Starting out at Soccer AM - 14:20Most adventurous holiday - 23:00Best city break - 26:38The best ever food you've eaten on holiday - 28:09Dealing with Type 1 Diabetes - 30:04Dramatic proposal panic - 37:18Worst travel experience - 43:12Dream destination - 46:28Thank you so much for choosing to listen to the first ever episode of Travel Talks, this really is a passion project of mine but if you would like to hear more episodes then subscribing and leaving a review really does help to motivate me.If you would like to hear more from the show then you can follow Travel Talks on Instagram (@TravelTalksPodcast), YouTube (Travel Talks) and Twitter (@TravelTalksPod).Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/travel-talks.
