In October, Flavor Flav, the co-founder of Grammy-winning hip hop group Public Enemy, announced he had agreed to be the official hypeman for the US bobsleigh and skeleton teams at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. As we look back on our favourite episodes from 2025, we revisit his conversation with Clare Williamson, where he explained what drew him to the sport, and what it felt like to take to the sliding track himself.
Plus, two-time Winter Olympic snowboarder Aimee Fuller tells Mani Djazmi that having a hype man in Milan and Cortina can only be a good thing for the Games and winter sport as a whole, while Steve Bunce explains how hype has been an integral part of boxing for decades, and looks back at the role hypeman Drew Bundini Brown played in the rise of Muhammad Ali.
