The Sporting Almanac Podcast

What makes sport so special? Why do people fall in love with it, live it, breathe it? What is it about these games that move us so deeply?Behind every sport is a story, a story of where it came from, how it developed and who shaped it along the way. From the dreamers and the trailblazers to the scandals, tragedies and moments of pure joy, sport reflects everything it means to be human - our struggles, our triumphs, our need to belong.At The Sporting Almanac Podcast, we follow the global sporting calendar - not just to preview the events, but to explore the history, culture and characters that made them what they are today.Hosted by Jack, an engineer and grassroots football coach, and Ben, a lawyer with anti-doping experience, each episode dives into the stories behind the spectacle - the forgotten origins, biggest controversies and the moments that made the world stop and watch.Because after all, sport is nothing without the history that makes it.
