Eoin Sheahan's Diverted | 8. Argentina I: The MacAllisters and the Patos
Manage episode 482329934 series 59676
In this episode, the hitchhiking narrative converges with our sports narrative. We tell the story of how getting stuck in a Patagonian shack led to the family of Alexis MacAllister, and how the Liverpool midfielder was basically created in a lab.
We then go to the Hurlingham district of Buenos Aires and pay a visit to the Hurling Club, where Dickie MacAllister takes us through the fascinating history of Gaelic games in Argentina.
Finally, we visit the small town of Intendente Alvear, where the national sport of “Pato” is king, and horses are the sports animals of choice.
Before all that, there is part eight of Eoin’s hitchhiking journey, where he desperately tries to get out of Bajo Caracoles.
