Part Time Sport
If a sports documentary is played in the forest, does anyone watch it? That's irrelevant, but irrelevance is what The Part Time Sport podcast by Cal Monaghan and Dylan Thomas is all about. Join us as we trawl the globe for the best sport documentaries, teasing out a narrative (and we mean any narrative) that makes that watch worth your eyes.

S2 E8: Kingdom of Archers
iPads with Retina Display hit the target for Bhutan’s archers Bhutan’s national sport is archery. Even if you don’t listen to this episode, you’ve learnt something for your next pub quiz. The issue for Bhutan (and their lovely royal family) is that their traditional form of archery (you know, just pissed lads in the park shooting arrows from bamboo bows) is under threat from the modern and more popular Olympic version. We solve their issues via our review of Kingdom of Archers on this episode of the podcast.

S2 E7: The Bad Boy of Bowling
Dick & Juanita’s Son is Bowling’s Bad Boy You know Pete from his viral YouTube clip. You’ll love him after listening to this. Dick and Juanita’s boy is God’s gift to podcast sports documentary reviewers (so, just us), with his cool shades, ten pin bowling strikes and constant chops of his crotch (which may or may not have been trademark infringement. CC Joe Burns.) One of our favourites yet. Watch The Bad Boy of Bowling here --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/parttimesport/message

S2 E6: Screwball
Oddballs get Screwballed with the A-Roid Screwball is like all the baseball documentaries we’ve reviewed - it’s about doping. And god it’s strange. Strange enough to be kind of good. Join us as we try to untangle this myriad of idiots managing injecting themselves with performance enhancers. Well done to the child actors though (yes, there’s child actors too.)

S2 E5: Head Above Water
Cody Simpson presents: Head Above Water (ft Flo Rida) We’re proud of this episode. Mainly because we got 30 odd minutes of chat out of Head Above Water. It’s a PR piece for Swimming Australia. Or maybe just for Cody Simpson (shout out to Flo Rida.) What it did do was direct us to the 1996 dark comedy of the same name with Cam Diaz and Billy Zane, Avril’s hit song, and Cody’s back catalog. See, life always gives you a silver lining. Kind of.  Watch Head Above Water here --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/parttimesport/message

S2 E4: Drive to Survive
God-ness gracious, great balls of F1re Drive to Survive is a bloody good documentary series. In fact, all F1 spots are. We focus in on ep 9 of season 3, where Romain Grosjean gets lit on fire and Sergio Perez uses God’s power to win a car race. It’s bloody action packed, let us tell you that for free (the ep that is, this podcast is just two drunk men rambling for 30 minutes.) Come for the analysis, stay for our stories about car crashes. This one is a must. Watch Formula 1: Drive to Survive here --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/parttimesport/message
