Podcasts about yorkshiremen

Hello and welcome to Club Prairie Fire, Season 9 episode 7. We are BFF's of tequila, tabasco and the Duckworth Lewis Stern System. This episode we are calling, “Good to be winners” That's right folks, on this humble little podcast populated by 2 Englishmen, Vaughany and Ollie, and 2 Aussies, Gilly and The Professor, we support two teams, the Green and Gold Goliaths that are Australia and the Three Roaring Lions of Mighty England and this week, for both sides, they did it in a canter. Thats right, we've got all the news and views from a ten Wicket Victory for the Aussies and a 323 Run Drubbing for the Poms. We dive head first into the Adelaide test where it was absolute madness, wickets were falling first ball, bowlers were sending batsmen who scored run a ball centuries and beer snakes were stealing the show. Also, we take a good look over at the Basin Reserve where a pair of Yorkshiremen went at over 5 runs an over to ensure the english lads could hit the links on both days 4 and 5. As always, nothing too serious and plenty of cricket banter, this is Club Prairie Fire.

1/4: Burma '44: The Battle That Turned World War II in the East Hardcover – June 11, 2024 by  James Holland  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Burma-44/dp/0802160581 In February 1944, in one of the most astonishing battles of World War II, a ragtag collection of British clerks, drivers, doctors, muleteers, and other base troops, stiffened by a few dogged Yorkshiremen and a handful of tank crews, managed to defeat a much larger and sophisticated contingent of some of the finest infantry in the Japanese army on their march towards India. What became known as the Battle of the Admin Box, fought amongst the paddy fields and jungle of Northern Arakan over a fifteen-day period, turned the battle for Burma. Not only was it the first decisive victory for Allied troops against the Japanese, more significantly, it demonstrated how the Japanese could be defeated. Lessons learned in this otherwise insignificant corner of the Far East set up the campaign in Burma that would follow, as General William Slim's Fourteenth Army finally turned the tide of the war in the East. In Burma '44, acclaimed World War II historian James Holland offers a dramatic tale of victory against incredible odds. As momentous as the Battle of the Bulge ten months later, the Admin Box was a triumph of human grit and heroism and remains one of the most significant yet underappreciated conflicts of the entire war. In Holland's hands, it is finally given its proper place in the history of World War II. 1944 Burma

Jerusalem is a paradigm of our own social world. Are we happy for that city to continue being a place where different tribes set their faces against each other? And closer to home, will we persist in gathering only in our own tribes, clinging to our own dogmas, huddling behind our own flags - Christians and Muslims, Yorkshiremen and Lancastrians, vegans and meat-eaters, anti-vaxxers and pro-jabbers? Or can we commit to looking for the common ground we have with other vulnerable humans, will we give ourselves to learning ways we can shelter together under wings of love, warmth and protection, finding unity in our diversity? Can we give up believing there are some people who don't belong here and learn instead to say, and show, and celebrate, that we all belong together?

Every time I open a Facebook chat room I see at least one thread on swim technique. Much of it is nonsense and overly focussed on elements that will have only a minor impact. You've heard me say many times that before you put the icing on the cake, you have to make the cake. This means working on the fundamentals. In today's podcast, I'll be chatting with Russ Barber, swim specialist for British Triathlon who is working specifically with the high performance athletes at the Leeds Triathlon Centre. Russ and I are going to be chatting about what is really important if you want to improve your swimming. So, if this is you, please set aside an hour and get your notebook out. It's a great conversation and, like all Yorkshiremen, Russ tells it straight. We cover: The 3 elements Russ looks for first when working with a new swimmer Swim drills you should AVOID (and why), and which ones you should continue with Kicking - why it's CRITICAL for a good stroke, and why it MUST be part of your workouts Polarised training for swimmers One set you must include in EVERY swim workout The benefits of using ankle bands Some tips for open water swim training   Russ doesn't really do social media but he does a swim coach education network on: Twitter - @Russ_SCNetwork Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SwimCoachNetwork LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/russ-barber-265993147/   Topics we chatted about in the podcast: Alexander Popov swimming technique Video 1 Video 2 Popov Documentary Swimming with an ankle band- why you need to keep a high cadence Kick on side drill Russ also recommended the following two books 'The Storyteller' - Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) - I'm currently reading this one.

Among the British, Yorkshiremen are known to be tough.  They are a "no-nonsense" breed of individuals known for common sense, thrift, and hard work. Understanding J. Hudson Taylor's background may explain why this man quietly impacted China as no other foreigner has ever done.  Yet of all the men whose lives have impressed me—spiritual mentors who have been benchmarks for my personal growth and goals—none is any harder to figure out than Hudson Taylor—which may be precisely why he is so important.

This week's guest will be familiar to most of you, regardless of whether you're a committed triathlete or not. In fact along with his brother (a podcast guest in 2 weeks' time) they are two of the most famous, and popular, Yorkshiremen of the 21st century. This will be Alistair Brownlee's second time on the show, the first was just before his Kona debut in 2019. Today we're going to spend most of the time chatting about his new book 'Relentless: Secrets of the Sporting Elite'. We start with a brief recap of the last two years before we get into the book. In this conversation, you'll hear a different side to the Alistair that we have all come to know in the last 12 years as we chat about: Recapping Kona 2019, dealing with the pandemic, ankle injury, missing selection for the Olympics Enthusiasm for gravel riding, including 57 hours continuous riding at the Badlands epic in Spain The book - A 5-year project Surreal conversation in Ronnie O' Sullivan's mum's kitchen Denise Burton with some surprises about her mum, Beryl Burton Ian Botham on the torpedo and the tube Why the term 'genius' undermines the hard work that the best sportspeople put in on a daily basis Searching for the answer to “why do I do what I do?"

It’s very much a tale of two slices of strata in this week’s Flat Chat Wrap podcast. To begin with, you can listen to two over-privileged, entitled professionals (us) whingeing about what went wrong … and right … when we decided to renovate both bathrooms in our flat at once. BOTH bathrooms? “When I was a lad we had a pothole in the road, and used gravel for toilet paper  …” says one of Monty Python’s Yorkshiremen. Listen Here Regular readers of this website will have been following our reno (mis)adventures on this website for the past few weeks so we thought it was  time to reveal all our triumphs and failures on the pod. From the too-flimsy door that started it all to the crack that appeared in a newly plastered wall, the whole catastrophe is there for your schadenfreude listening pleasure. Free legal advice And quickly moving from entitled renovators to hard-pressed strata residents facing more urgent issues not of their own making, we have belatedly discovered a completely free strata legal service for NSW, based in the inner-west Sydney suburb of Marrickville. Lawyer Justin Abi-Daher joined us on the pod to answer questions about the service like: How long has Marrickville Legal Centre been covering strata?Who is on their strata team and what are their areas of expertise?What is the most common issue or issues that are brought to them?What do they do when both sides of a dispute asking for help?What is the extent of their involvement? E.g. would they ever represent a client at a tribunal or in a mediation?What is the most common piece of advice they give strata residents once they were in the midst of a dispute.To what extent do they find themselves having to explain residents' basic rights and responsibilities?Is there one piece of strata knowledge that surprises people more than any other? Finally we ask this not-for-profit hero to explain how they get their funding and why they need more so badly right now. You can read more about Marrickville Legal Centre HERE and look at their website HERE.  And remember, their strata service isn’t just for Marrickville – it’s for the whole of NSW. If you’re not into podcasts – and really, you’re missing half the fun – you can read a transcript of the pod below. It’s under transcription, translation and transferal right now, but it will be with you soon.

Happy holidays from the Maniculum Podcast! This week, we present a Middle English radio play that you can share with your friends and family- this play has everything: rage against the bourgeoisie, magic spells, and sheep theft. Oh, and the nativity is in there too. 

We preview the weekend clash at Elland Road vs promoted Leeds United, which should be a tasty affair with the Yorkshiremen known for their attacking brand of football. Arteta will have his work cut out for him, stewing nearly 2 weeks on our poor performance vs Aston Villa. So fingers crossed he has tweaked a few things going into the match. We also preview the match away at Molde in the Europa League on Thursday, with qualification just about sorted. Just want to take the time to thank you, the Gooners and footy fans for your listenership and support! Its much appreciated, as always!!!!

THE REVIEW (17'10): On Cricket by Mike Brearley (published 2018) "He considers himself responsible for two rule changes... Brearley abused the rule that you get five runs if the ball hits a helmet, by placing it all over the field to tempt 'parsimonious Yorkshiremen'." Recorded on 6 November 2020

151 Test matches, 584 wickets... and still rising.... the genuine Greatest Of All Time and the King of Swing joins the podcast. With so much to cover, Jimmy talks about his early fielding prowess at Burnley CC, his hatred for Yorkshiremen, breaking into the England side and breaking a rib on THAT training camp in Germany before the 2010/11 Ashes series.  Remember to get in touch with where you're listening and also with some stories of encounters you've had with cricketers, we'll read them out on the podcast next week.  

Ushered into the air-conditioned luxury of the Directors' Suite at Plainmoor, Guy and David are joined by Gulls manager Gary Johnson, who gives some fascinating insight into what went on at Solihull on Tuesday, including the thinking behind his two dramatic first-half substitutions, and why he admired the attitude of the players he took off.

This week Gaz is joined by FPL Jim as Yaron swans off in the sun in lovely Florida. The two Yorkshiremen get stuck into the topic everyone's discussing at the moment: which strategy will prove best come the end of the season? They mull over captaincy choices and "dream teams" for those using their FH in GW31. There's punts, listeners questions and "Who the Arnatovic" returns!

The four Yorkshiremen descend on Seb's lounge to discuss... well... everything except anime which we are watching! Oh well. Many discussions on games, new trailers and releases and society in general await you!

Re-thinking and reinventing   Two stories last week made me think. First, this off-the-cuff tweet from a radio station in Scotland, having a day of “ going retro (https://twitter.com/drl/status/1020240255151149056) ” by… playing CDs. I shared this in a Facebook group, and it wasn’t long before the comments descended into Monty Python’s Yorkshiremen sketch. “Retro? I’ll give you retro,” said someone, before talking about cueing up 45s. “You had it easy,” said someone else, discussing editing on reel-to-reel. I remembered my first full-time radio gig, doing afternoon drive at The Pulse in Bradford. During a typical hour, I’d be playing a mixture of CDs and 45s; filling in full PRS returns, including record company and catalogue number. Each needed the levels setting and cueing to a suitable point. Every segue was, of course, live; selecting the right jingle or sweeper was up to me. I’d be running to the fax machine outside the studio, where the AA would send over barely-legible hieroglyphics about travel issues (“A58 WB of Keighley TTL expect delays”) and essentially blind-reading these on-air. The ads would be on individual carts which all needed fetching and putting away at the back of the studio; my news was at a clock-start at the top of the hour; without a producer I also needed to answer telephone calls and run contests myself. And somewhere in the midst of all this, I had to somehow work out something cogent to say. You can sometimes understand the viewpoint of the former presenters in the group - who mostly appear to be driving trains, it seems - that radio isn’t what it once was. It isn’t. When the music and the ad breaks are all available at the push of a NEXT button, you can concentrate on other things; and the output should be (and almost invariably is) better. The other piece of news was this piece of work by BBC News Labs (https://medium.com/bbc-news-labs/beyond-800-words-prototyping-new-story-formats-for-news-e3102e783b5f) , rethinking and prototyping online news story formats. It’s a good piece of work, informed by data. It suddenly struck me that much of the structure of radio hasn’t changed from the days of 45s and carts. We only got network news at the top of the hour twenty years ago, so that’s when we needed to take it. Many of us still break for news at the top of the hour, though, even if there’s no technical need for that any more (and plenty of evidence that news consumption is changing (https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0022/115915/Scrolling-News.pdf) away from a “cram as much as you can” news bulletin). We’ve moved away from carts, but we’re still selling thirty-second ads, clumping advertising stopsets together, and shoving many of them to the back of the hour for some reason. (Try setting your alarm clock to 6.45am to discover how bad this sounds). There are plenty more thing we do in radio that haven’t changed in thirty years: a horrid old news jingle ‘because tradition’, using callsigns rather than a sensible brand, and the utter pointlessness of travel news. I love the idea of rethinking things. Much of the time, that process reveals that it’s always done that way for a reason; some of the time, it hits on something new. We should do more of it, don’t you think? Support the show.

The show to end all shows is BACK - for our first offering of season four, joined by RP regular Jude Wanga (@judeinlondon2 on Twitter) the gang (minus Yair, who nevertheless makes an appearance in the intro) discuss Jude's theory of how the Beatles were directly responsible for Oasis, who were directly responsible for Brexit, and look at the cultural and political legacies of the "Cool Britannia" era of Blair 'n' Britpop. Furthermore, Jack reclaims the seminal masterwork Be Here Now from the haters (such as Toryboy & corporate gobshite Noel Gallagher) and the episode is introduced by four gammony authentocrat Yorkshiremen. Extracts are read from Richard Power Sayeed's 1997: The Future That Never Happened, Owen Jones' Chavs and Joe Kennedy's Authentocrats. disso & Jack on the boards.
