The teams assume nothing as they examine events through fresh eyes.

    Episode 1 – So the Story Goes

    Episode 1 – So the Story Goes

    From the BBC World Service and Amazing Sport stories, this is The Curse of County Mayo.

    Is Mayo’s Gaelic football team really cursed? Could their failure to win the GAA’s All-Ireland Championship actually be the result of a 70 year old hex? Irish-American sports reporter Dave McKenna investigates this curious case. Did the team really disrespect a funeral in 1951? And did that cause the mysterious bad luck that’s plagued the team ever since?

    This is part 1 of 3, with episodes being released here weekly. To hear the full series early, and for more stories of courage, underdogs and legends, search for Amazing Sport Stories wherever you get your podcasts.

Hard to follow seasons

The shows are all really good. I just wish more than anything that the producers of this would organize the different seasons by actually separating them and put all of the episodes of each season and order, etc. because it is very very hard to navigate through t the shows episodes since they’re in no particular order and some of the different(what should be labeled)”seasons”,don’t even have their episodes in the correct order. I enjoy the content very much. I just wish it was organized much better so would be easier to follow/find next episodes etc.

Episodes?

I came into this podcast after only four episodes were released, and wrongly believed this was an older podcast that was completed. I prefer to binge podcasts as I walk my dog an hour each day, not as they are released weekly. I will have to revisit after all have dropped.
