Quite A Good Sport - To coincide with the Olympics, the makers of the BBC Two intellectual quiz QI and the podcast No Such Thing As A Fish have a new series, full to the brim of interesting sports facts, tidbits and stories.

Each episode looks at a different sport. In the first episode, hosts Anna Ptaszynski and James Harkin look at rowing. You’ll hear about the history of the rowing machine, which goes right back way further than you might think (the 4th Century BC!) 

They later take to the water with Team GB rowers Eve Stewart and Imogen Grant.
