The UK’s number one trade kitchen supplier, Howdens, is sponsoring talkSPORT’s Kitchen Island Discs, which airs every Wednesday on talkSPORT Drive with Andy Goldstein. 

Each week, a famous sports personality joins host Andy Goldstein to share stories round the kitchen island and discuss songs relating to memorable experiences from their career.

Launched on the 9th February 2022, Kitchen Island Discs will continue for 13 weeks.

The first guest to feature on the new series was football legend, Ally McCoist, who remains Rangers all-time leading goal scorer. To launch the new series, Ally joined Andy at Howden’s Tottenham depot where the episode was filmed in a Howdens kitchen and later uploaded to the talkSPORT YouTube channel, as well as being aired during talkSPORT Drive. Full of brilliant nostalgia, Ally chose Tina Turner - Simply the Best, Stiff Little Fingers - Alternative Ulster and Bon Jovi - It’s My Life. 

Sophie Leathley, Marketing Communications Manager at Howdens, says: “Howdens is excited to be sponsoring talkSPORT Kitchen Island Discs on Drivetime. It is a show that many of our tradespeople listen to as many are sports fans so it is great to be involved. 

“Having been at our depot while the first episode was being filmed, I can confirm it was as entertaining as the video suggests! It is also really interesting to hear how music can be so instrumental in a sportsperson’s career.” 

Neil Leather, talkSPORT, adds: “Howdens is a household name when it comes to kitchens, so being involved in this new feature was a natural fit. We had great fun filming and recording the first episode at Howdens Tottenham deport, with the whole team being welcoming to the production crew. 

“We have some famous sports stars lined up for the next episodes and I’m sure some cracking songs!”
