77. The Year in Rolls: Gi Spot’s 2025 Recap, (The episode that Spotify didn't want you to hear)

In this special year-end episode of The Gi Spot, co-hosts Rach and Kaz look back on the year that was 2025 — revisiting their favourite guests, best conversations, most unhinged moments, and all the unexpected gold that came out of interviews, mat chat, and shared chaos.

From deep dives with legends and competitors to raw conversations with everyday grapplers and behind-the-scenes mat brains, 2025 was full of voices that challenged, inspired, and occasionally roasted us into being better.

Rach and Kaz reflect on the lessons, the laughs, and the episodes that hit hardest — plus they each pick the guest that made them see the sport, the culture, or themselves a little differently.

If you’ve been along for the ride, this one’s a chance to celebrate it all. If you’re new to the pod, consider this your highlight reel (and maybe your gateway drug to the full back catalogue).

Cheers to the rolls, the rants, the real talk — and to whatever madness 2026 has planned.
