Vic Marks: Cardus, Somerset and the changing cricket media
•
Test Match Special's Vic Marks, formerly of England and Somerset, joins James Coyne for a chat about the life of master cricket writer Neville Cardus, about whom he has written for our April issue. Vic also looks as how cricket media has changed in his own time as a journalist - and previews his home county's chances in 2026.
Plus, editor Huw Turbervill joins James to discuss the county season ahead and what's in our bumper April magazine - yes, that's the one with the world-famous summer fixtures wallchart!
