#20 – Pioneering, podiums, and philanthropy: ‘Gold Medal’ Mary Peters Interview Special - a podcast by Claire Thomas

Queen Mary The Great. When we contrived to bump into Mary Peters at the BAWA awards luncheon back in November, Jody told her he’d rather interview her than Usain Bolt, and – on this week’s pod – you’ll hear why. A lengthy and lofty career on the track and field culminating in the big G in Munich ’72 was only the beginning of this legendary lady’s commitment to the sport. We hope you enjoy listening as much as Jody enjoyed chatting with the The First Lady of British athletics.
