Episode 1: Hurling-The world’s oldest field sport.
In this week’s episode, our hosts tried Hurling, one of the world’s oldest field sport, originating in Ireland some 3,000 years ago. To guide our audience, this week we have Aidan O’Donnell as our guest, who apart from being a lecturer at Cardiff University in Data Journalism is an avid hurler himself. We explored the game- from playing it ourselves to finding out its history, and exploring where you can go and enjoy Hurling- right here in Cardiff.
