A candid talk about the cost of seeing too much and still staying useful.
Scott Anthony Douglas and Tiffany Cook shape a conversation around the human cost of being the person people call after something has gone wrong.

Bruised stories, blunt talk, real recovery.
Roll With The Punches pairs loose banter with serious conversations about what happens after life lands hard. Recent episodes move from boxing head impacts and workplace injury to policy chats, emergency-work trauma, ultra-running, and personal comebacks.
PRESS PLAY
Roll With The Punches is a fast-moving interview show about resilience without the tidy packaging. It likes people with a story. More specifically, it likes people who have had to make sense of pain, pressure, injury, public disagreement, or a life that did not go to plan. Recent episodes range widely, but the center holds. One conversation uses boxing and head impacts to ask what information fighters deserve before they accept the risk. Another follows Mick Marshall through the aftermath of a serious workplace accident and a long recovery after a fall from a wind turbine. Scott Anthony Douglas brings the conversation into emergency work, trauma, and the careless curiosity people sometimes aim at those who have seen terrible things. Jay Stevens talks about completing an ultra-marathon on crutches, with the physical cost still sitting in his hands. The show can also swing into policy, social friction, gender and sport, workplace dynamics, family-law-adjacent realities, and the everyday awkwardness that happens before a serious conversation begins. It is rarely neat. That is part of the shape. The opening minutes often include banter, technical glitches, compliments dodged, late arrivals, and the kind of friendly teasing that makes a guest sound less packaged. Then the topic sharpens. The style is accessible and direct, with room for detours that turn out to matter later. It does not treat resilience as a clean inspirational arc. It treats it as something physical, social, irritating, funny, and sometimes unfair. The show is comfortable with strong opinions, but its better instinct is curiosity. It asks what happened, what it did to a person, and what they had to learn after the obvious story ended. For listeners tired of polished self-help language, Roll With The Punches offers something more bruised and more human.
Made for: For listeners drawn to candid long-form conversations about resilience, injury, sport, trauma, policy, and personal change. It especially suits people who prefer lived experience over polished self-help formulas.
What sets it apart: The show mixes matey banter with heavy subjects, letting awkward, funny, ordinary moments sit beside serious conversations about damage and recovery. It feels less like a formal interview series and more like a tough conversation that found its way to the truth.
