Young children in Kent are no longer going to be able to head the ball during football training as part of new rules being introduced by the FA.

It's after a major study looked into the impact, in a bid to reduce the number of players developing brain conditions like dementia later in life.

Also in today's podcast: hear from a woman who's had to sell her car and jewellery to pay for medical equipment which is available for free elsewhere in the UK, and why a boxing promoter wants to see Tyson Fury take on Anthony Joshua.
