Part Time Sport Documentaries
5 FOLLOWERS
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.

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.

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.

Welcome to Part Time Sport! The only Podcast entirely dedicated to Sports Documentaries (we think). Each episode, we use, abuse and review a different Sports Docco to see if it’s worth a watch - or not. Tune in to see who from the Documentary gets the honour of Employee of the Week, who’s on a Performance Plan and most importantly, who gets an invite to Friday Drinks. Follow us on Instagram @parttimesport Because Sports Documentaries are our part time job. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/parttimesport/message ..read more

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.)

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.

Last Chance U Get To Yell Violently
Last Chance U follows junior college football teams doing it the hard way. Laney College, in Oakland, features in their fifth series. We watched episode one. These boys are very skilled. They also do it very tough. They make us realise that we’re pretty pathetic. Take this journey of discovery with us. Also, American Football is just a big game of bullshit isn’t it?

The muscles in Pumping Iron make Cal sick
Bodybuilding in the 70’s was wild and Arnie was king. Pumping Iron (i.e. Arnie’s PR piece) takes us behind the Mr Universe and Mr Olympia scene where there’s pranks, dumb dumbs, and average joes going wild. It makes Cal queasy. Steroids also come up.
