Description

Love sport, but only an expert in a few? Fascinated by the stories behind your favourite events? Or just starting out and still figuring out your offsides from your googlies? Wherever you're at, this is the podcast for you.

The Sporting Almanac Podcast uncovers the stories that shaped sport - and how sport shaped the world. From Bloody Sunday at Croke Park in 1920, to the 1955 Le Mans disaster, from Cold War hockey riots to controversial Grand Prix finishes - each episode dives into the history, drama, and impact of the world’s biggest sporting moments.

We explore remarkable lives like Dutch-Jewish boxer Leen Sanders, Irish rugby and SAS hero Paddy Mayne, and civil rights icon Bill Russell - figures whose stories go far beyond the games they played.

And amongst all that, we explain the origins and basics of sport, so enthusiasts old and new can expand their sporting knowledge. So whether you're following the latest event or just love a great story, this is a podcast for fans who know sport is nothing without the history that makes it.
