The Bits & Pieces Sports Podcast: Recent Episodes
Abhiram and Adit
What do you get when a couple of self-proclaimed sports fanatics impulsively decide to record their discussions?
A lot of opinions, debates and a podcast, in that order.
Join us as we cover what's going on in the world of sports, explore the unheard and the forgotten, and simply enjoy talking about what we love.
Joining us on what happens to be our first guest episode as part of our Half-Time Talks series is Ajay A. Kumar, the head coach of the under-18 team at Luca SC, a football club based out of Malappuram, Kerala.
An ex-Loyolite and ex-BITSian, Ajay takes us through his journey so far, in what promises to be a fantastic coaching career. Tune in as we also discuss Luca SC, the future of Indian football, its immense potential and a lot more!
Catch up with all the action as we pick our top 5 transfers of the summer window (until now) and their implications to the season.
Also, please do not forget the customary one-minute silence for our fallen comrade, Harry Kane.
It’s been a while since our last episode and the last ICC trophy won by the Indian men’s team. Tune in as we attempt to show plenty of intent with our mikes and dissect what’s holding them back, discuss what defines a cricketing dynasty and how history may look back at this team if their drought continues.
International football is back albeit a year later than what was promised. We are not sure if it’s coming home or not this time, but do join us as we review the groups in Euro 2020, top contenders for the prize, some dark horses and a few players to watch out for.
Adit and Abhiram present their EPL and UCL teams of the year as we come to the end of the 2020-21 season with Tuchel's resurgent Chelsea pulling one over Manchester City in the UCL final. We briefly review the showdown at Porto before we explain our respective TOTS choices in a rather strange COVID-curtailed season.
In this week's episode, we explore some trending transfer news with Kane and his fabled Spurs exit hogging the limelight, before looking forward to the all-English Champion's League final at Porto's Estádio do Dragão.
Episode 4 calls for a discussion on the four UCL spots up for grabs as the race for the top flight of European football tightens.
We also chat about the incredible finish in the Turkish Süper Lig, Gerrard's Invincibles and a well-deserved Vardy Party, covering quite a remarkable week.
Tune in to this week’s episode where we have a candid conversation breaking down the revised European football structure, explore the all-new UEFA Conference League and trash some sneaky imposters in the midst of all the drama engulfing the sport the past few weeks.
P.S. Apologies in advance to all the Gunners and Spurs fans (if any) out there.
Following our pilot, the IPL got suspended and the state is set to be under lockdown. Not great signs but we went ahead and renewed the podcast anyway.
This time we review week 3 of the IPL which had everything we could have possibly asked for - the podcast derby, humdingers, a season-defining sacking AND a super over. We also briefly touch upon our vision in doing Bits and Pieces to make for a rather eventful episode (with better audio like we promised!).
On the first episode of Bits and Pieces, we get on a phone call (we will get better at this, we promise) to cover the second week of IPL 2021 - the high and lows, top performers, the Vaughan curse and what to watch out for next week.
