The Backbench Opinions

The Mother of all Sundays

This episode sadly doesn't pick up from where we left off about Ritesh's tale (there's always another episode). Host Satamitra welcomes Manu and Aniket, the resident red-devil trio, to majorly talk about the upcoming 24th of October sporting extravaganzas lined up across the world of sports. They start off with a roundup of some sporting events of Indian merit and get on about their takes on what's been a tumultuous round of Manchester United fixtures, of apocalyptic lows and tense highs; moving onto talk about the main course of back to back events doted across the eponymous Sunday from the WT20 (especially about India vs Pakistan) to European footballing leagues to F1 US Grand Prix. They close off the pod with mentions about Arsenal, Spurs, Aryan Khan, some banter about "action" and Jose Mourinho.

The First of Many

Episode #1: The First of Many We welcome you to our first pod as host Satamitra gets the ground rolling on some sports catch-up with what has been a dramatic week across the globe. He is joined by Manu, Aniket, Vivek and Ritesh to take a quip-filled dive into the recently concluded Qualifier 1 & Eliminator of the IPL surmising what has been an eventful tournament keeping an eye on the WT20, moving onto the action-packed F1 Turkey Grand Prix with rumblings from off the tracks and then regurgitating about the UEFA Nations' League with a quick summary of Indian sports' exploits elsewhere. The episode ends with a lot of promise for the future and a suspense of what the gaggle of us friends did to offend Ritesh (more of it on the next one, stay tuned)
