Episode 2: And About Bloody Time

Greetings, sports lovers, and welcome to Episode 2 of Chris and Gary Talk Sport.

We're back once again (in spite of a truly global sense of apathy towards Episode 1) to give you our take on three specially-chosen topics we think you'll like.

First of all, the 2017 World Athletics Championships - a festival of the best track and field action which, sadly, had a bittersweet ring to it this time around. Did the mixed fortunes of Bolt and Farah cast a shadow over the event, or did Hero The Hedgehog provide sufficient positivity to render such feelings worthless?

We then follow with a discussion on women's sport and the wonderful achievements of The Matildas, The Lionesses, England and India's cricket teams and much more. Has the time finally come for the fairer sex to rightfully gain their share of the spotlight, and if so, how can they maintain that privilege in future?

Finally, Chris grits his teeth and gives his account of Manchester United's ruthless treatment of West Ham United in the opening week of the Premier League season. Is he already regretting his prediction of Chelsea as this season's champions, and if so, will it curtail what could turn out to be a very expensive gambling habit?

All of this, plus netball, rugby league and our first listener feedback on the second edition of Chris and Gary Talk Sport.

Episode 1: Wonderfully Gloriously Niche

And so we plunge into the gently bubbling world of international sport with our first podcast which has a triple bill of rugby union, soccer and... indoor rowing.

To begin, there's a preview of the 2017 Super Rugby final between the Crusaders of New Zealand and South Africa's Lions, an assessment of Australia's current rugby malaise and two of South Africa's clubs switching hemispheres next season.

After that, The World Games. Don't worry, Chris is on hand to explain exactly what that is including references to frisbee throwing, orienteering and Fred Trueman. It really does all make sense - trust us...

Finally, there's a look ahead to the new Premier League season and a shake of the head at the huge transfer fees flooding the world game. It was all so very different back in the days of the Dutch Tulip Bubble, and if you're still feeling confused, you're just going to have to download episode 1 of Chris and Gary Talk Tulips.

Sorry, 'Sport.' Chris and Gary Talk Sport.

Welcome...

...to the biggest collaboration in the history of aural entertainment since Paul Simon looked up Art Garfunkel's number in the phone book.

Chris and Gary Talk Sport is a podcast where two men who think they know about sport try and talk about sport. In the space of an hour, three topics of a topical nature are discussed, analysed and assessed, and all for the sheer love of sport itself.

Published on a fortnightly basis, consider this your go-to take on all that's important from football and rugby to cricket, golf, athletics and all points beyond.

If sport's your thing, allow Chris and Gary to occupy your ear drums. You might just learn something, but in reality, probably not.
