ExplicitGEISH 57 – Fandom and Sportsmanship | (http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/6772/fandomk.png) We continue our look at wider issues in sport by welcoming Tony Pucci (http://www.simplysyndicated.com/shows/pollyannacowgirl/) (from the Pollyanna Cowgirl Records Podcast) to discuss fandom and sportsmanship. There are also some contributations from Lindsey (lindseykal from the forums and Simply Read movie reviews). But as she was in the background, her audio is a little quieter than ours. Sorry about that. We tackle a wide range of topics that come under the general umbrella of fandom and sportsmanship. After the credits Jonathan and Shane reveal how they welcome guests onto the podcast, the origins of the U.S national anthem and a little discussion about stadiums.

ExplicitGEISH 56 – The Place Of Women In Sport (Part 1) w/Laura Eydmann & Jenni Bosworth | (http://thesituationist.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/title-ix-montage.jpg) We take a departure from our usual modus operandi to bring you a serious of special episodes on wider sporting issues. First we look at the perception and depiction of women in the areas of sport. It ended up being such a rich issue for discussion that we ended up having two separate shows on the topic. We bring back previous guests Laura (http://laurapakoradesign.prosite.com/)& Jenni (http://allhailtheale.podbean.com/), as they explain the problems they see for women in the sporting arena, as well as their own difficulties that they've faced with prejudice for being sports fans. Our outtakes after the credits takes in tangents such as David Cameron, The Masters, Lord of the Rings based "racism", the way NOT to chat-up up Jenni, and how to make a grown man shriek.

From 1986 to 1995, they dominated the sport, winning numerous trophies, including the Challenge Cup 8 times in a row. Here we look at some of their key players, matches and discuss the general nature of spending money in order to win things.

ExplicitGEISH 54 – Top 5 Comebacks | (http://static.ecb.co.uk/images/width150/headingley-1981-crop2-7638.jpg) We begin by offering our best to the Aston Villa captain, Stilian Petrov, who has been recently diagnosed with leukaemia. As his Bulgarian teammate, Martin Petrov stated earlier this week, stay strong Stan. We've done Top 5 episodes on sporting shocks and upsets in the past. So it's only fair to bring the final member of this realm of sport into the fray. We look at the times when teams or individuals have won when they couldn't possibly win; it's the sporting comeback.

Shane talks about Wilt Chamberlain's remarkable achievement of scoring 100 points in one game for the Philadelphia Warriors against the New York Knicks in 1962.

A bitter rivalry, America's national sport, and a great sporting comeback. All with a place in the World Series at stake. As well as a few audio difficulties, we're joined by Mike and Art from the Masters of None podcast (http://www.simplysyndicated.com/shows/masters/). Either side of talking about the epic series, we speak about the history of the Boston/New York rivalry, annoying fans, and how the proliferation of money has distored baseball. Our post-credits outtakes features Mike's "Al Pacino" impression, and while he and Art were relatively well behaved, it seems that one of the regular hosts was unable to follow suit.

ExplicitGEISH 50 – Top 5 Arenas | (http://www.webbaviation.co.uk/sports/gallery2/d/957-2/HeadingleyCarnegieStadium-ba33097.jpg) We start this episode with a saddening but necessary riposte to those who seem to think it's acceptable to sneer at the world of sport. This will be our only response on the issue so I suggest you listen carefully. Oh yeah, and we do a show as well. Great sport is often elevated by its setting. And we look at the arenas that show sport in its best light. Email: sportshistoryshow@googlemail.com Blog: sportshistoryshow.blogspot.com | 7 2 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Shane talks about Chris Boardman's Gold Medal in 1992 at the Barcelona Olympics, as well as its impact on British Cycling - the rewards of which the country is reaping now. He would go on to be the only British cyclist worth talking about until the emergence of David Millar in the late 1990s. Jonathan talks about Super Bowl III and Joe Namath's promise to win the game despite playing for the huge underdogs New York Jets. This was the first time an AFL team beat the NFL.

I won't say bite sized because we still go on for a while. Anyway here is part one. This one covers Rugby Union, Rugby League and Tennis. We are joined by Emma Hyam.

D'Oliveira was raised in apartheid South Africa, and came to England where his cricketing talent flourished. So much so, that it resulted in him being selected in the England squad to tour South Africa, causing an international incident. Our post-credits tangents include our early predictions for Euro 2012, a discussion of Ricky Ponting's continuing problems scoring runs, a curious way to sell pizzas in Japan, and the drunken behaviour of a familiar voice to Simply Syndicated listeners. email – sportshistoryshow@googlemail.com blog – sportshistoryshow.blogspot.com | 5 12 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

It may not have been their fault, but in the midsts of defeat, we look for someone to blame. Well ladies & germs, here's our Top 5 countdown of the biggest scapegoats in sport.

GEISH 41 – British Olympic Golds: 2002 Curling and 2004 Coxless Fours | (http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/5643/rhonamartin001.jpg) After successfully escaping from the HGN dungeon, I, Jonathan, return to give the listeners what they have always wanted: A story about British Curling Gold at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. For one night, all of Britain became curling experts as 6 million of us tuned into watch the Brits, led by Rhona Martin, as they faced Switzerland in a tense final. Then Shane takes us to the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where Matthew Pinsent won his fourth gold by winning rowings' coxless fours final, despite looking as good as beaten by the Canada team. After the closing music Shane also shares what he thinks of the end of "Here Goes Nothing", and we discuss some of the action that took place in that night's Europa League. email – sportshistoryshow@googlemail.com blog – sportshistoryshow.blogspot.com | 27 10 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Bolt's achievements during the summer of 2008 thrilled a golbal audience and left some people (literally) speechless. As expected when Will comes on board, there was surplus material that didn't make the final show. However, keep listening after the closing theme for discussions about swearing & libel, and an England cricket match. We also speculate on Jonathan Wilkinson's whereabouts. email - sportshistoryshow@googlemail.com blog - sportshistoryshow.blogspot.com | 11 10 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Anyway back to the point. Shane describes the 1985 fight between Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns, that became known as "The War" because of its brutal nature, despite only lasting 8 mintues. While I go back to the Tour De France to describe the duel between Jacques Anquetil and Raymond Poulidor on the Puy de Dome.

There's also an impassioned defence of Andy Murray, and inspired by our stable-mates at the "Nerd Hurdles" podcast (http://www.simplysyndicated.com/shows/nerdhurdles/), you can hear some of the non-sporting things that get discussed during a recording that don't make the final edit of the show.

We welcome Jay & Mike from the "Masters Of None" podcast onto the show, and as anyone who's ever listened to them knows, they bring a certain... shall we say, "irreverence", which makes this our most pugnacious show ever recorded. Allied with the fact that our topic is on the things in sport that make us want to tear our hair out, we pull no punches.

Shane meanwhile takes us through 18 seconds where Reggie Miller managed to turn a 6 point deficit into a 2 point lead in the first game of the 1995 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals at Madison Square Gardens when the Knicks took on the Indiana Pacers. Also Shane was watching the highlights of England Japan game in the women's world cup during the recording so you get some random comments on that too. email - sportshistoryshow@googlemail.com blog - http://sportshistoryshow.blogspot.com/ | 7 7 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

So that would be golf. While I tell you all about the 1956 FA Cup Final between Manchester City and Birmingham, which is most remembered for the Man City goalkeeper Bert Trautmann breaking his neck yet carrying on!

GEISH – Episode 16 – 1995 Rugby Union World Cup | The 1995 Rugby Union World Cup took place in South Africa and was a land mark moment in South African sport and generally. It was not the sport out on the field that made this a great event but instead it was it marked the country coming out of apartheid and re entering the international world.
