    Cmon, I love sporting history but most of these are just basic and bland with substance at all. It’s obvious they just take from other stories they have listened to and try and make it their own. The Phar Lap one in particular was a news story from over a year ago in the Sydney Morning Herald that came about from a brilliant investigation podcast called Killing Phar Lap. Do better please.
