The Smith Brothers: Not A Podcast
Four professional boxing brothers from Liverpool talk shop, analyze fights, and interview high-performers from sports, politics, and entertainment.
A casual, two-format podcast from inside the world of professional boxing. In 'Unfiltered' episodes, the four brothers hold an informal roundtable, offering expert analysis on recent fights and answering fan questions with insider candor. Interview episodes feature a friendly group chat with a notable guest, where the brothers find common ground between boxing and other high-pressure professions.
“Its primary distinction is the hosts: four brothers from a single family who have all reached the pinnacle of professional boxing. This creates a unique, unfiltered dynamic built on shared history and genuine locker-room banter, a perspective no other sports podcast can replicate.”

What you'll be asked on this show
The interview format is a relaxed, multi-host conversation, not a structured interrogation. The brothers, particularly Paul, often lead by finding a parallel between the guest's craft and boxing, such as comparing a singer's stage fright to pre-fight nerves. Questions are passed between the hosts organically, creating a friendly 'pub chat' atmosphere. They build rapport by sharing their own vulnerabilities and anecdotes, encouraging the guest to open up in a low-pressure environment.
The show alternates between two main formats: guest interviews and 'Unfiltered' Q&A/analysis episodes with just the brothers. The tone is consistently informal, conversational, and heavy on Liverpool humor and banter. They often draw parallels between their own experiences in boxing and the guest's field to build rapport.
