We're back!!!!

 

(Imagine Aerosmith's 'Back in the Saddle Again' playing in the background. It'll help).

 

Returning after a brief Easter Break to deal with life, Covid, the Universe and Everything, Broken Oars Podcast returns with its twentieth official episode (or 22cnd in total if we're including our one-off specials).

 

And have we got a guest for you?

 

Well, of course we have otherwise it would just be your genial hosts (the tall, posh Southern one and the short, oppressed Northern one) picking a subject and running it wildly off the rails.

 

Some artists (bands, groups, writers, movie-makers - pick your own poison here) can be variable in quality. For every Appetite For Destruction, there is, unfortunately, often a G n R Lies EP that should never have seen the light of day. After our last episode with Eric Murray and an outstanding run of exceptional guests, it would have been easy for us to put our feet up and do the 'What Dog Breed Would You Put In What Seats In An Eight' Episode.

 

Not us.

 

In the episode, you will find to your delight and delectation that our commitment to making each stroke as good as it can be (little rowing wisdom for you there) remains far more in place than it ever was at the end of long outings when scallies were shooting us with air-rifles.

 

In this episode, you will find the Posh Southern One giving the Northern One his P45; the Northern one will find that a stutter that he thought he'd successfully dealt with in his teenage years has returned, making him sound like he's being remixed by DJ EZ Rock; and the Southern One admitting that his day job involves being a character in Middle Earth. 

 

Luckily, though, our guest Tim Morris rides to the rescue and brings wisdom to the party.

 

We chat about his trajectory through rowing from his earliest days as cox through to his coaching roles now; the development of the sport in that time; rowing as a toolkit for life; race strategies; composite boats and blades; how sport can develop your personality and your personality can find an expression in sport that serves in everything else you go on to do, and the future of the sport in the UK.

 

Designed as a rowing podcast for the people by the people with the people, this is a Broken Oars Podcast of the first rank. We've been incredibly lucky with all of our guests, and Tim is no exception. With him, as with everyone else, what's clear is that when you get rowers together, what we love to do is talk about this amazing sport of ours.

 

And it's out in time for the weekend!?

GET SOME!

 

Bowside? Strokeside? You were told this was a tidal river. You were told to bring wellies. None of you did. We will leave you stuck in this mud as a warning to others. Bow, stop crying. You brought it on yourself.
