- Amazingly informative and entertaining!
Who knew the Olympics had so much history? Quite frankly this is an annoyingly good podcast- funny, interesting and well worth a listen. Sandra is the secret star.
Poodle trimming. Motor boating (no, not that kind…!). And so much more.
Even if you think you have no interest in the Olympics I defy you to not be engrossed in this. Give it a listen.
