Coming on Tuesday... Eoin Sheahan's Diverted
Episode description
Coming to your OTB Daily feed this Tuesday (March 25th) at 10am - the first episode of Eoin Sheahan's Diverted.
Before the first episode went live, Eoin chatted to OTB's Mick McCarthy about the 10-part series, which you can find each Tuesday in the OTB Daily feed, and in its own podcast feed. You can access that here to subscribe.
Follow Eoin on this not-so-smooth journey from the Deep South of the USA to the southern tip of Argentina, as he tries to recover from missing out on the Biggest Party In The History of The Universe (™).
Each week, this podcast will travel to a new country, and we will bring you to a ritualistic fighting festival in rural Bolivia, to the basketball-crazy highlands of Guatemala and to the equine sport heartlands of Argentina’s gaucho country.
We will become experts in Jai-Alai and Tejo, we will speak extensively with a survivor of the 1972 Andes plane crash, we will become fans of FC Palestino and hang out with lucha libre fighters. There are carnivals and psychedelics and broken bones, as we run from Andean karma but towards any presence of Maradona and Messi.
