The Sporting Almanac 1st Birthday: The Masters and The Grand National

About this episode

The episode celebrates the first birthday of the podcast by reflecting on the past year and discussing The Masters and The Grand National.

The Sporting Almanac Birthday: The Masters and The Grand National To celebrate one whole year of the Sporting Almanac Podcast we go back to where it all began, ahead of the Grand National and with the Masters underway at Augusta National. We share some reflections on the year past, and a few new stories about the weekends two events too, including Larry Mize's legendary chip and the Race That Never Was at Aintree. One year older, but not really any wiser, expect the usual tangents, FIFA bashing and OJ Simpson references that all have very little to do with golf or horse racing....
