9: Oxford Brookes: A Sporting Miracle? A conversation with Peter Smith


Listen Later

What is it like behind the scenes with Oxford-Brookes rowing?

We are talking across the Atlantic today to Peter Smith. Peter is the author of "Oxford Brookes: A Sporting Miracle? From cowshed on the Thames to the top of the rowing world. "

If you just started rowing, you may be surprised to find how international the sport is. Fortunately Peter graciously agreed to discuss Oxford Brookes History as well as the Henley experience. I recommend a hat shop to Seattle folks who plan to travel to the regatta this summer.
