#16 – Country Crossing, Pimple Popping, and SPOTY Speculating: A New Year of Athletics and Resolutions - a podcast by Claire Thomas

Much to Claire’s delight, this week is the first episode with complete gender parity (Jody’s off sunning himself in Goa). In his absence, Bayo and the Backstraight Girl discuss December’s Euro Cross Country Championships, Farah’s shock SPOTY victory, and the resolutions they’d like to see made and fulfilled over the course of the 2018 season. Bayo celebrates a #viral tweet, and bemoans his obsession with spot-popping videos on YouTube, and we pick the latest listener prize winners. Enjoy it, and then let us know your thoughts: @BackstraightB and @Claire_GThomas. Happy New Year!
