I was fortunate to train with Seb under John Hovell. Amazing athlete and lovely man, no ego, he turned up at New River track ,on his rest day in the rain and held the stop watch for us while we trained , as John was away on holiday. I was only 15 years old.
The only show I will watch about personality’s That asks the questions other interviewers will avoid as they are intimidated by the personality .Mr Jordan respect .
Thank you Simon this was a great interview and so many interesting topics were spoken about. However I was so pleased to hear that Paralympic athletes were spoken about as even for them to train in their chosen sport can be challenging And they all deserve so much recognition. Thank you
One of my favourites of so many great episodes. Great to hear sensible and logical responses to commonly raised subject matters in regards to mental health and women’s sport.
What an ambassador for sports in general. There should be a job title created called ‘the chief of global sport’ and Seb should be it. Noble, articulate, humble and intelligent are a few words that come to mind. Great interview Simon 👏👏
Typically brilliant Simon and quite possibly my favourite with Lord Coe. As a Sheffielder and Wednesday fan this really resonated. 💙 Loved watching Sebastian run especially in the 1980 Olympics as an 8 year old me. Remember Seb training in Graves Park too. Class act on and off the track and one of Britain’s all time great sporting icons. Also thought you both nailed it re resilience/mental health.
Brillian conversation. I love these series as it takes away the Bullsh*t you hear on the news and radio. It lets people say their true views without being tarnished... but it also allows them to be questioned on the views but also beable to discuss why they have the views instead of being shot down.
Listened to every episode to date, glad this has rolled in 2024 and long may it continue. Would love the chance to be behind the scenes and see a recording!
Always great to hear about the legendary Coe-Ovett rivalry but the detail revealed in this podcast (like the Christmas Day training session) brings another dimension to it.
Simon’s interviews and talkSPORT show are the favourite part of my day. Hearing his opinions and scrutiny on the topics of the day make for excellent listening. His book helped me keep my mind occupied during difficult times. Thanks Simon, Keep up the good work.
I have listened to every episode of this so far. Simon always drills in to the core of his guests and asks the questions that people are sometimes afraid to ask. Keep up the good work!
Without a doubt my favourite podcast show right now. The questions, the answers, the differences in opinion and hearing from true sporting greats is what makes this podcast show so great. Keep up the great work Simon. 🙏
Top notch as ever. For a so-called 'non-journalist', Simon is one of the best in the business at drilling down into the important topics; having an unapologetic attitude about his own views, controversial or otherwise. Would very much like to see him at work if the opportunity came my way. Keep up the good work, to all involved.
I'm really enjoying this podcast series. Simon gets down to the nutty gritty and actually asks awkward questions. I initially didn't like him, but after listening more to this show I've changed my mind! Keep it up!
Brilliantly navigated the topic of mental heath in sport/society. Not diminishing the true and extreme cases but also looking for balance and awareness of going too far the other way. Worded as well as I’ve ever heard it done. Another fascinating interview.
Amazing podcast that ! Sebastian such a gentleman and intelligent man. Those types of conversations we don’t get much these days ! Such an articulate and insightful conversation.
I didn't realise the podcast was on youtube! I listen on Spotify every week on my commute to work. Seb was an athlete before my time, but I still found this fascinating with some very interesting comments that I'll take forward into my own life. Keep up the great work Simon 👍👏
Well done, another great interview. This really is one of the best shows out there at the moment, end of. I can't quite believe how many amazing interviews you've had. Keep up the great work 👌🤌🫡
Love the pods! Unreal. Love how deep you get into sports stars & how you push them to places other podcasts don’t. Brutally honest ALSO love talksport, keep it up Simon!👏🏻
I'd absolutely love to come and watch the show live! I've learnt so much about different sports that I may not have watched before or regularly from watching these videos!
This podcast is original in the sense that it has interesting guests and not the usual easy, censored questions! Keep it up and would love to watch this podcast
Loving the great podcast especially the boxing side off it it’s nice to listen to somebody asking question on behalf off the public who don’t really know much about boxing but yet admire the sport and the athletes keep up the good work
Another great thought provoking episode. Huge fan of the show all the way from Sydney, Australia and I’m looking forward to more episodes with a bit of spice in 2024. Would be an awesome experience to listen in on the show. I’m coming to London in September!
Absolutely love this podcast, as a former professional boxer I love how much Simon mixes the views and opinions of my two favourite sports. I would love the chance to see how it’s all made. Fantastic podcast I highly recommend it.
Met both Seb & Steve Ovett. Seb when he was running across the Peak District moors and Steve in the Crystal Palace Sports Arena toilets. Sadly neither was conducive to have a chat with either of them. Great interview and I was amazed to learn how poor his parents were.
I’ve watched a lot of these Up Front discussions, but, this one has been the most interesting and engaging discussion of them all. And I’m not in to athletics at all. This guy seems an honest and authentic person, who’s only interest is the fair and transparent interest of the sport he loves. Really refreshing!
Great interview, you don't hear Seb speak about his career on the track much so was good to hear. It's difficult to update athletics to "improve the product". Football cricket and Rugby you can tweak the rules to attempt to improve the spectacle and you can tweak away at other sports but what can you do to change track and field? A 1500 metres is a 1500 metres, if you change it it becomes a different event altogether.
Really enjoyed this release of podcasts Simon, snappy and to the point….. no pissing around with the pink and fluffy stuff! Look forward to a year of great podcasts
I can't get enough of Simon Jordan over the last year or so, just worth listening to, feels like he's well researched before giving his opinion, not just "yeah well this is what I think......"
I was fortunate to train with Seb under John Hovell. Amazing athlete and lovely man, no ego, he turned up at New River track ,on his rest day in the rain and held the stop watch for us while we trained , as John was away on holiday. I was only 15 years old.
What a podcast this is, proper questions with proper guests, long live up front with SJ!
Two gentlemen having an intelligent and articulate debate. Marvellous! The best one yet.
The only show I will watch about personality’s That asks the questions other interviewers will avoid as they are intimidated by the personality .Mr Jordan respect .
It takes a real and sane man to speak up and protect women. 👏🏼
Amazing middle distance athlete. Amongst a golden era of Olympians. Coe, Thompson, Ovett.
Thank you Seb for your clear posture on women's sport.
Shut up silly nonsense
Such a fascinating man, Seb. Simon’s finest podcast yet. Thank you.
Absolutely amazing interview. Lots of respect for Coe and all of those fabulous athletes from his day.
Great guest, the dynamic between him and Ovett was legendary
Thank you Simon this was a great interview and so many interesting topics were spoken about. However I was so pleased to hear that Paralympic athletes were spoken about as even for them to train in their chosen sport can be challenging And they all deserve so much recognition. Thank you
My sporting hero of the late 70s and early 80s. Unbelievable talent
One of my favourites of so many great episodes. Great to hear sensible and logical responses to commonly raised subject matters in regards to mental health and women’s sport.
1979-84 was the golden era of British athletics, Seb, Steve & Daley are/were legends.
From Ovett winning the 1500m at 1977 World Cup
I was always a Coe fan. Him and Ovett was a great rivalry. Seb speaks extremely well, no wonder he is where he is. Another good interview Simon.
Great interview, Seb Code clear in his views and clearly a top operator in both sport and commercial worlds!
Working my way through these interviews. I love hearing from different sports people. Old school frankness at its best.
You certainly won't find a clip of this kind of discussion with a comment section on TalkSport that's for sure
Sebastian Coe, my dad's hero who now shares the name with my son. Athletics legend!
Great show, love Seb Coe was such a great era for British middle distance running
What an ambassador for sports in general. There should be a job title created called ‘the chief of global sport’ and Seb should be it. Noble, articulate, humble and intelligent are a few words that come to mind. Great interview Simon 👏👏

In Seb we have an individual who has both the experience and intelligence to guide the sport to a better future, great viewing
Another top drawer episode with SJ. Quality interview with Seb Coe. A must listen!
One of the most honest interviews I’ve heard on this podcast.
Brilliant episode, Simon Jordan is a legend. Love him on talkSPORT with Jim White. Loving the ‘Up Front with Simon Jordan’ keep them coming 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Brillian conversation. I love these series as it takes away the Bullsh*t you hear on the news and radio. It lets people say their true views without being tarnished... but it also allows them to be questioned on the views but also beable to discuss why they have the views instead of being shot down.
Listened to every episode to date, glad this has rolled in 2024 and long may it continue. Would love the chance to be behind the scenes and see a recording!
Seb Coe talks so much sense 👏👏 Sheffields finest
It’s so refreshing to hear questions asked others wouldn’t dare think of
Always great to hear about the legendary Coe-Ovett rivalry but the detail revealed in this podcast (like the Christmas Day training session) brings another dimension to it.
The best one yet, Well done Simon & Seb

Commenting, as It would be a privilege to meet Simon. If more young people looked up to him, our society would be in a better place!
Another great episode. What a superb athlete Seb Coe was.
I'm really enjoying this podcast series. Simon gets down to the nutty gritty and actually asks awkward questions. I initially didn't like him, but after listening more to this show I've changed my mind! Keep it up!
Upfront has been needed for a few years now, thanks for a great array of guests
Brilliantly navigated the topic of mental heath in sport/society. Not diminishing the true and extreme cases but also looking for balance and awareness of going too far the other way. Worded as well as I’ve ever heard it done. Another fascinating interview.
Buzzing this podcast is still going into 2024. Listened/watched every episode, Simon Jordan 🐐👏🏻
Still remember the 800 m race when he fell over at the bell, dropped to last, and still won the race! Legend.
Absolutely sensational listening to all the different people from all walks of life one of my favourite podcasts ever made
Amazing podcast that ! Sebastian such a gentleman and intelligent man. Those types of conversations we don’t get much these days ! Such an articulate and insightful conversation.

Love the Up Front interviews, Simon. Keep up the good work.
Another great interview. Seb Coe was pretty honest about difficult topics
Great interview! Simons about the only person who’s fair but gets honesty out of his guests! A rare breed in show business
Love the pods! Unreal. Love how deep you get into sports stars & how you push them to places other podcasts don’t. Brutally honest
ALSO love talksport, keep it up Simon!👏🏻
Watched every interview since this started. Absolutely superb and welcomingly different to the other podcasts out there.
I'd absolutely love to come and watch the show live!
I've learnt so much about different sports that I may not have watched before or regularly from watching these videos!
It's not shameful to want to be the best ... Well said Seb.
Excellent podcast with a wide and varying range of guests. It's so refreshing to hear so many open up about their careers and life struggles 👏
This podcast is original in the sense that it has interesting guests and not the usual easy, censored questions! Keep it up and would love to watch this podcast
Love these videos, Simon isn't afraid of challenging views, but at the same time listens to their response!
Great conversation, thank you Seb and Simon.
Love listening to this podcast, especially how Simon doesn’t shirk the difficult questions
Loving the great podcast especially the boxing side off it it’s nice to listen to somebody asking question on behalf off the public who don’t really know much about boxing but yet admire the sport and the athletes keep up the good work
Fascinating insight! Thank you Seb and Simon. Brilliant!
Can listen Simon interviewing all day. Some of the guests on here are superb.
Superb interview. Riveting viewing. The best one so far. Thank you.
Brilliant podcast and insight with Sir Seb. How Simon gets information or how he asks the questions is just top class. Top top bloke.
Again another great pod. Always waiting for 10.30 on a Thursday 🎉 great work Simon
One of the best episodes yet, really refreshing to hear somebody in sebs position talking honestly
Insightful as always. Great to have a wide range of sports personalities on. Looking forward to more in 2024.
Another great thought provoking episode. Huge fan of the show all the way from Sydney, Australia and I’m looking forward to more episodes with a bit of spice in 2024. Would be an awesome experience to listen in on the show. I’m coming to London in September!
Superb interview. One of my athletics heroes growing up. Never knew he was that funny!
Yet another exceptional episode Simon . Keep up the brilliant work 👍👍
Great episode and Mr. Coe makes a lot of great points about some controversial topics- his eloquence and honesty on it is refreshing.
Awesome as ever. Even if I see the interviewee and not too bothered, watch and its a great insight with learnings for all. Seb was great 👍
Simon Jordan interviewing the one and only John Sitton is the interview the world wants to hear. Make it happen. Absolutely compelling content.
Excellent podcast as always. So excited to hear from Seb and didn’t dodge any question.
Absolutely love this podcast, as a former professional boxer I love how much Simon mixes the views and opinions of my two favourite sports. I would love the chance to see how it’s all made. Fantastic podcast I highly recommend it.
Not a fan of athletics but this was a fantastic and educating conversation. Thoroughly enjoyed listening.
Met both Seb & Steve Ovett. Seb when he was running across the Peak District moors and Steve in the Crystal Palace Sports Arena toilets. Sadly neither was conducive to have a chat with either of them. Great interview and I was amazed to learn how poor his parents were.
I look forward to each new episode...always fascinating, even from sports I don't follow...thank you Mr Jordan
I’ve watched a lot of these Up Front discussions, but, this one has been the most interesting and engaging discussion of them all. And I’m not in to athletics at all. This guy seems an honest and authentic person, who’s only interest is the fair and transparent interest of the sport he loves. Really refreshing!
Simon is so good in this field, every episode is engrossing even if it's with someone I've not been interested in before I've loved every episode
Up Front is well and truly Up Front! Simon & team keep up the good work!
Great stuff Simon, how informative that Seb's career has been at the top end of sport as both competitor and administrator.
Great interview, you don't hear Seb speak about his career on the track much so was good to hear. It's difficult to update athletics to "improve the product". Football cricket and Rugby you can tweak the rules to attempt to improve the spectacle and you can tweak away at other sports but what can you do to change track and field? A 1500 metres is a 1500 metres, if you change it it becomes a different event altogether.
Amazing Podcast. Really enjoying listen to the conversations and discussion that are definitely up front. Keep up the good work.
Great interview. So refreshing to hear interviews without the sycophantic nonsense which so often accompanies them. Top work
Well done Mr J, great work! Seb is a hero
Great conversation. Thoughtful, interesting questions, honest answers. Gotta love Seb Cow.😊
Very insightful conversation. Seb’s a good guy. I got searched by security with him when entering city hall back in 2011😂
Thank you for this podcast! It is on for my commute. Listened to every pod to date.
Great show Simon.
I'm a huge fan. Love to listen to you on TalkSport too. I've got your book. Brilliant.
I'd love to see behind the scenes of Up Front
First started listening to Simon on TalkSport. Very entertaining and 99% of the time gets his point across clearly.
Throughly enjoyed every single one of your podcasts , here’s to a new year and many more
Excellent episode Simon. Really engaging conversation with seb. Keep up the good work
The best interviews with the best interviewer- keep up the good work Simon!
Really enjoyed this release of podcasts Simon, snappy and to the point….. no pissing around with the pink and fluffy stuff! Look forward to a year of great podcasts
Always a interesting watch, keep up the good work Simon and team
Keep the podcasts coming, best thing settling down on a thursday night to watch the latest ep
I can't get enough of Simon Jordan over the last year or so, just worth listening to, feels like he's well researched before giving his opinion, not just "yeah well this is what I think......"
Was expecting seb to sit on the fence on someone of those questions but fair play to him, answered everything thrown at him and well
Look forward to the new episode every Thursday, brilliant insight and you always seem to ask the questions I’m hoping you do. Thank you
