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.
