~ trackcastic ~ Leave a comment

March Madness is upon us! We’re still getting our breath back from the fantastic European Indoor Championships in Apeldoorn last weekend, but there’s a World Indoor Championships in Nanjing this weekend!

Carol, Ceri & Chris are here to chat through all the medals won in the Netherlands (mostly by the Dutch team), including some impressive Irish performances and a decent showing from the British #representatives

Plus, we’ll quickly whizz through all the events ahead of Nonjing, sorry, Nanjing which is FINALLY happening after a FIVE year delay.

Enjoy another fantastic weekend of championship athletics!

Episode 67: A Very ChatGPTeeTee Terry Christmas Everyone!

~ trackcastic ~ Leave a comment

Merry Christmas track fans! It’s time for the annual TrackCastic Christmas Special, where we’ll dish out some rather silly awards from the 2024 season.

With Dave too busy working (at the North Pole?) to make this recording, we needed someone with an equally brilliant memory of the season to help us remember what happened in 2024. Enter our new contributor…ChatGPT!

Yep, we’ve replaced Dave with Artificial Intelligence, but will it even come close to matching his Actual Intelligence? (Spoiler Alert – no, it won’t)

So grab your hot chocolate, snuggle up by the fireplace and listen to our festive special from 2024!

See you in 2025!
