Broken Oars Podcast: Episode 2: Take Two!

Our second episode was published on July 24th 2020. We still hadn't really got to grips with the whole podcast format thing at this point. We never really did, to be honest. We were having too much fun catching up with each other and talking to our amazing guests. We wouldn't change anything apart from perhaps uploading our conversations to Youtube. We made a decision early on to stick to audio, largely because at the time we just couldn't fathom why people would want to tune in to watch people having a chat together. Still, there it is.

In Episode Two, Dr. Lewin Hynes, who would soon come to be known as The Southern One, and Dr. Aaron Jackson, who would soon come to be known as The Northern One got together to welcome you to the second Broken Oars Podcast where we proudly proclaimed that we were for rowers everywhere who believe that rowing was better a ten to twelve years ago - regardless of what year it is. 

 

All rowers, in other words. 

 

In our sophomore effort, we make the necessary factual corrections from the first effort; ensure that no dictatorships were harmed in the making of the podcast; apologise for our 'indie' sound quality; discuss whether there's a certain lack of personality in the current GB rowing set up; provide some background to the rowing careers of both hosts; and address the welcoming nature of rowing clubs to outsiders (hint - could do better); and ask finally 'whither 2K? - should the gold standard distance actually be the gold standard?'

Full crew, come forward to row ...
