Episode 429 - Innsbruck 1976 Opening Ceremony Review

Off The Podium - An Olympics Podcast

It's been a while since we have brought you a CLASSIC OPENING CEREMONY REVIEW and we're doing exactly that today as we go all the way back to 1976 and look at the Opening Ceremony for the Innsbruck Winter Olympics! Why is there so much marching band music? Seriously. Are so over it that we just can't talk about it? Or is it the fact that there isn't anything to talk about? Like...a few flags being waved, some marching countries, a speech that doesn't happen and the biggest flame you have ever seen in your life? Really...how are we going to do this? You're going to have one hell of a ride as we learn more about Austria in the seventies in an episode you'll have to hear to believe! Just don't say we didn't warn you about the marching music....(SERIOUSLY MAKE IT STOP!!!!!)
