We discover that having launched a podcast, the world of social media has more trolls in it than the average folk tale, one particularly loathsome specimen having crawled out from under his rock to assert that GB's rowers were all dopers, because they had been trained by an East German Coach in the Mighty Jurgen Grobler - who had and had never hidden coming up through the old East German system, w...

Released on August 7th 2020, Episode Three saw Broken Oars Podcast welcome its first ever guest - the incredible, inimitable Di Binley. For some reason neither of us can remember, Dr. Lewin Hynes, yet to be dubbed the Southern One, flew solo on this episode - and does a brilliant job, because, well, he's brilliant.    Want the original episode notes? Here they are.    -----   A coming-of-age for B...

Our second episode was published on July 24th 2020. We still hadn't really got to grips with the whole podcast format thing at this point. We never really did, to be honest. We were having too much fun catching up with each other and talking to our amazing guests. We wouldn't change anything apart from perhaps uploading our conversations to Youtube. We made a decision early on to stick to audio, l...

(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...

The Northern One reads Ed Waugh's classic life of the north-eastern legend, Harry Clasper.    

It's been a quiet year for Broken Oars Podcast in podcast terms. While life happened, we only managed to interview the world's best sports physiologist, the world's best sports psychologist, the man who created the on / off test for EPO and ...     SIR MATTHEW PINSENT!     And yet, it's the End of the Island that's been nominated for best rowing podcast - probably because we didn't get 'round to n...

In our continued effort to bring you, the BrokenOars viewer and listener, valued information, the Southern on has spent the last five weeks mildly toxifying himself in pursuit of a faster ergo score. There are numerous substances that promise a legal method to greater performance and in this video takes a wonder through a few of them and examines one rower's experience of trying them out. But not...

Hullo,   Can't sleep?   Me neither.   The Northern One returns with a follow-up to last year's Summer Shorts series.   Inspired by a chat with a medical friend about the advances in technology in their career, your favourite Northern One takes a spin through representation in art. As everything in modern Britain is a footnote to the Victorians, in much the same way that Western Civilisation is a f...

Did you miss us? Of course you did!   We're back with Robin Parisotto, the scientist behind the on / off EPO test to discuss the history of doping in sport, why testing regimens are set up to show there is a testing regimen rather than to create clean sports, and why clean sport will never happen in the current systems.   Apart from British rowers.   We're clean.   Get some!   Bowside? Do some wor...

After the glory and the dream that was our crowing achievement (talking to Sir Matthew Pinsent), Aaron and Lewin return in typical Broken Oars fashion.   That's right.   We watch Olympic races and talk about them as they're happening and then post the episode after the Olympics has finished, but before the Para Games begins.   Oh, and it looks like Podbean took all of our episodes down and dumped...

Your favourite comedy duo, and quite possibly the best commentators rowing has ever had on and about the sport of rowing return!   In this episode, following the Southern One's three weeks of constant bugs and the Northern One's ongoing Long Covid we talk about getting back into exercise after illness and injury - and no, it isn't what we used to do: grade two muscle tear?
