The Rec Podcast Ross Taylor and Owen Midha

On this week's podcast, Ross and Owen invite Nathan Khan to talk through some of the biggest names in the history of the Sixes. We review JLS's slide from the 1s to the Rec 1s, the origin of Claude's name and Matt Eason's DOD potential. We also invited the men themselves to speak to us and give their thoughts on their time at Bath, including chat on Duncan McDonald's shlid, Jordan Scott's record crate escape time and Victor Ball ending up in the bin.

We take a look back at some of the biggest upsets of Rec history, including a famous victory over BUCS-competing Shexeter in 2015 to maintain an unbeaten streak, and doing the double over the 5s in 2018/19 to unprecedentedly hold onto the bragging rights. Featuring this week is a man who played in all three of those matches, Jamie Richardson - also a possible shout for sixes all-time top scorer. Additionally, we were joined by "The Asian Sir Alex", captain from 2015/16 James Deru and also this year's captain Alister Fursdon, who famously put his body on the line vs the Fives last season.

This week we welcome some of the great Rec social-ers, including couple former Teamboys. Rec legend Jack Francis recounts tales of welcome drinks from the early days including the "Chris Leech Challenge", while 2019 Fresher Harry Stitchbury tells all of his trip to Bath Spa's bootcamp. Also this week, we feature Ollie Cook who only has one Rec appearance to his name but has maintained an excellent social record.

Listen out for a feature from Ali's mum, as well as the usual Rec conundrums at the end of the show.
