Former World’s Strongest Man, Eddie Hall to Launch Debut Podcast The Good, The Bad & The Beast

Former World’s Strongest Man Eddie ‘The Beast’ Hall is taking his strength to the studio as he launches debut podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Beast, produced by Folding Pocket, (a Platform Media label). The podcast promises to reveal the mindset of champions through deep dive interviews with extraordinary 'beasts’, uncovering what drives those who achieve the impossible.

In a climate where macho podcasts dominate the global charts, Eddie Hall offers a new side to the story. On The Good, The Bad & The Beast, Eddie sits down with real-life 'beasts’ - from elite athletes and record breakers to fearless adventurers and A-list stars - to find out what’s the common thread between those who achieve amazing feats. Each episode delivers raw, unfiltered conversations that go beyond the headlines, and digs deep into defining moments, setbacks, and sacrifices that shape some of the world’s most celebrated figures.

Bringing unmatched credibility as the globally recognised former World’s Strongest Man titleholder, World Record Deadlifter and World’s Strongest Man USA host, Eddie offers the perspective of someone who’s truly been there and done it. With a social following 17 million-strong, fans come for his legendary accomplishments and stick around for his humour and authenticity. Launching The Good, The Bad & The Beast marks a new chapter for Eddie, as he reveals a new side of himself through honest conversations with fellow heavy-hitters who’ve faced the extremes of success and struggle.

“My career so far has been spent pushing my body and mind beyond its limits - so I know more than most the dedication it takes to secure medals and records. This podcast has allowed me to dig deeper and have real, vulnerable conversations with the people I look up to about what it actually takes to succeed. Hopefully, these honest conversations will offer support and inspiration to anyone facing their own challenges.” - Eddie Hall

The series kicks off on 24th June with an explosive interview with Tommy Fury. Carrying one of the most famous surnames in boxing, Tommy is the undefeated professional boxer and half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. In this exclusive interview he shares a new side to his story, reflecting on his upbringing in the tight-knit Traveller community, his relationship with academia and how his father’s 6-year prison sentence impacted his relationship with sports. 

Known for infamous fights against Jake Paul and KSI, Tommy reveals the pressures of being in the public eye so young and how his victories over high-profile opponents cemented his reputation. In 2024, Tommy faced one of his toughest years yet, sidelined from boxing due to the major hand surgery he had in 2023. Unable to fight, Tommy reveals he struggled to find purpose, leading to excessive drinking. This challenging period impacted all areas of his life and led to personal struggles.

They discuss what’s next: still early into his boxing career, Tommy’s determination and ambition to step up competition. Plus, he gives an insight into the very real possibility of a rematch with YouTuber and boxing disruptor Jake Paul.

Coming up on The Good, The Bad & The Beast - guests from Tom Stoltman, to Leah Shutkever, and Martyn Ford, names that redefine what the human body and mind can endure.
