That 4d should have been 2d of course. Apologies!

And the 28a should have been 20 a. I am being a bear of very little brain at the moment. Just had a shot of medication which is my lame excuse.

Loge @ 56: check out TalkSPORT Drive. Obscure indeed, but it works for me.

Or perhaps if a judgement of relative heft is included, give the 11 palm to 4 and make 10 a mere 28.

loge - there is a sports extra word in 11. I was hoping to find an (extra word in 2) with a different thematic surname but can't (and I'm in the profession ...) So I think it must be, uncharacteristically, a mistake.

Prospero says he has a six letter journalist surname for 10ac. which I haven’t found yet, but 4dn could fit that category too. All quite confusing.
As for 20ac, he requires a category not included in this puzzle!
I’ve now been able to read the thread.

Sorry, missed a couple of posts there. Found him now thanks. Don’t know how you found him Prospero but well done.

I see the numbering is having a hiccup as well as Brendan's problems..

I think the best course of action would be to start a second Genius 224 thread. Perhaps copy and paste relevant posts from the other thread, or ask me to to do it.

I've found the TalkSport presenter (same name as the Winterstoke guy). He does seem to be quite a big figure there. That gives us:

4 down defined by 28
20 across defined by 2 down (loosely, I suspect!)
10 across defined by 28 across
and the rest uncontroversial.

That works, though as Drxx correctly pointed out much earlier (post 18), the 6-letter word is technically incomplete thematically.

I'll have a go at duplicating the thread. Please amend or delete it as appropriate!
