Old episodes, a new era, and an unwavering love of athletics: Backstraight's big look back

Send us Fan MailOur 100th episode passed us by in a flash. Like a home straight Kyle Langford. Like the naps you desperately snatch whilst balancing a championship across the globe with your commitments at home. Like the time between each jaw-dropping performance from Rojas and Duplantis. We missed it just as surely as we've habitually missed Diamond Leagues (why are they so inconsistently scheduled??) since starting this podcast - all the way back in 2017.'Better late than never' we figured, and so we sat down - on New Year's Eve of 2022 - to look back at the show so far. We reminisced about doing parkrun, about interviewing some of the greatest that've ever done it, about screwed-up fantasy predictions, and about the moments which have stayed with us - of which there are many.So, without further ado: here's 71 minutes of nostalgia and laughter. We hope you enjoy it.And - from Claire - thanks for having me. It's been a complete and utter joy - and I hope you'll all stay in touch xoxoTwitter: @Claire_GThomas @BackstraightBInstagram: @backstraightboyspodcast @clairegthomas Please enjoy, please subscribe and please let us know what you think on all our socials. Thanks for listening and follow us on Social Media at Insta - (@BackstraightBoysPodcast).Email - [email protected]
