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 .
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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'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!
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.
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.
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 👌🤌🫡
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 👏👏
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
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!
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.
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
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. 🙏
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!
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 👍👏
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.
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’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!
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Seb. Intelligent, driven and humble man. Great insight into the Ovett rivalry. Brought back good memories for me of the golden era of athletics. Thanks
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.
It takes a real and sane man to speak up and protect women. 👏🏼

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.
1979-84 was the golden era of British athletics, Seb, Steve & Daley are/were legends.
From Ovett winning the 1500m at 1977 World Cup
Thank you Seb for your clear posture on women's sport.
Shut up silly nonsense
Amazing middle distance athlete. Amongst a golden era of Olympians. Coe, Thompson, Ovett.
Seb Coe talks so much sense 👏👏 Sheffields finest
Such a fascinating man, Seb. Simon’s finest podcast yet. Thank you.
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
Great show, love Seb Coe was such a great era for British middle distance running
Great guest, the dynamic between him and Ovett was legendary
Another top drawer episode with SJ. Quality interview with Seb Coe. A must listen!
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!
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.
The best one yet, Well done Simon & Seb
Absolutely amazing interview. Lots of respect for Coe and all of those fabulous athletes from his day.
Brilliant episode, Simon Jordan is a legend. Love him on talkSPORT with Jim White. Loving the ‘Up Front with Simon Jordan’ keep them coming 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Working my way through these interviews. I love hearing from different sports people. Old school frankness at its best.
In Seb we have an individual who has both the experience and intelligence to guide the sport to a better future, great viewing
Great interview, Seb Code clear in his views and clearly a top operator in both sport and commercial worlds!
One of the most honest interviews I’ve heard on this podcast.
You certainly won't find a clip of this kind of discussion with a comment section on TalkSport that's for sure
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!

Absolutely sensational listening to all the different people from all walks of life one of my favourite podcasts ever made
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.

Watched every interview since this started. Absolutely superb and welcomingly different to the other podcasts out there.

Sebastian Coe, my dad's hero who now shares the name with my son. Athletics legend!
Love the Up Front interviews, Simon. Keep up the good work.

I'm a huge fan. Love to listen to you on TalkSport too. I've got your book. Brilliant.

Brilliant podcast and insight with Sir Seb. How Simon gets information or how he asks the questions is just top class. Top top bloke.
Love listening to this podcast, especially how Simon doesn’t shirk the difficult questions
Yet another exceptional episode Simon . Keep up the brilliant work 👍👍
Fascinating insight! Thank you Seb and Simon. Brilliant!
Keep up the great podcasts Simon, and keep on with the superb guests. It’s always a big part of my week!
Insightful as always. Great to have a wide range of sports personalities on. Looking forward to more in 2024.
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 👏
Great interview! Simons about the only person who’s fair but gets honesty out of his guests! A rare breed in show business
Great conversation, thank you Seb and Simon.
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 👍
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.
brilliant interview, one of the best ones yet, Simon.
Still remember the 800 m race when he fell over at the bell, dropped to last, and still won the race! Legend.
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
Can listen Simon interviewing all day. Some of the guests on here are superb.
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!👏🏻
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
Huge fan of the Up Front series. This is another excellent episode! 👏🏻
This is one of the best interviews I’ve watched in years, keep up the good work.

Big fan of the show Simon, great guest as always. Keep up the good work
Enjoyed that. Great mixture of guests so far, long may it continue 👍
Great stuff Simon, how informative that Seb's career has been at the top end of sport as both competitor and administrator.
Brilliant interviewer! Love his content whether in short form on Talksport or in this format.
Brilliant episode as always with a very powerful figure in British sport who I didn't know much about
The best podcast out there. Great guests and fantastic content. Looking forward to see who is on next.

Fantastic interview. Probing question answered with honesty and integrity. Well done.
Thank you Seb for what you have done for Sport. I only wish with this excellent series that the conversations go on longer sometimes.
Not a fan of athletics but this was a fantastic and educating conversation. Thoroughly enjoyed listening.
