(Deep gravelly voice): On this day five years ago, while the world languished in the depths of COVID, in a time when there were NO rowing podcasts (other than a few we've forgotten to mention), two men got together to change the world as we know it ...
They were Dr. Lewin Hynes, who would come to be known as The Southern One, and Dr. Aaron Jackson, who would come to be known as The Northern One and they created the world's first, only and still best rowing podcast.
And they called it Broken Oars Podcast.
And rowers looked and listened and saw it was good.
We retired after interviewing Sir Matthew Pinsent last April, weeping for we had no more words to conquer. Little did we realise that Finn Hamill would happen ...
And so in the spirit of leveraging IP in the age of AI (no, we don't know what it means either) and coming from the land where there's never anything on but repeats on the BBC, we're rereleasing our Broken Oars Episodes in sequence - because they're full of rowing goodness.
So, here goes. The first one was literally recorded down a 'phone line and boy does it show ...
-----
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Welcome to the very first Broken Oars Podcast - the podcast for rowers everywhere and anywhere who believe that rowing was better ten to twelve years ago - regardless of what year it is.
Launched by Dr. Aaron Jackson and Dr. Lewin Hynes as a way to bust lockdown 1.0, and to give somewhere for their endless chats about rowing to go, in our first episode Broken Oars introduce the hosts, discusses their technical and renal inadequacies; addresses the reality that Redgrave couldn't have been that good because he never won Runcorn Head in the rain; how auctioning off GB National Squad rowers to provincial clubs for a racing season would make everyone love the sport more; and why no tears should be shed for the passing of lightweightism.
(First released 20/07/2020)

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
