    18. Bernie Parent and the Flyers back-to-back championships
    May 6 2024
    They were known as the Broad Street Bullies. They never met a fight they didn't want. They would beat you up... and then they would beat you down... But most of all... they would just beat you. And for two straight years they did just that in winning back-to-back Stanley Cups. Bernie Parent was the last man of defense for those great Philadelphia Flyers teams and came up with shutouts in clinching Cup wins two years running. A 2-time Conn Smythe winner as well as a 2-time Vezina Trophy recipient, Parent had a Hall of Fame career in his adopted hometown of Philadelphia. A city that loved him and that he loved right back---then and now. Parent tells us about how he almost celebrated that first win too soon, how his boyhood idol mentored him into a future Hall of Famer, and how he has stayed sober for the past 46 years! It's a great talk with one of the greatest goalies to ever play in the NHL as we look back on the Flyers Stanley Cup Championships from May of 1974 on the Past Our Prime podcast.

    Apr 29 2024
    It was the year after Secretariat owned the horse racing world... the 100th Running of the Roses... the biggest field in Kentucky Derby history... The Sport of Kings was riding high and in Arkansas, a 15-year old prodigy was taking it all in. Randy Moss has been covering horse racing since he was 13 years old... yes, you read that correctly... at age 13, he was giving out picks on the ponies in the local paper... and now, he's about to cover his 44th Kentucky Derby. Cannonade won the 74 race with Angel Cordero in the saddle with fellow Hall of Famer, Woody Stephens the trainer. Could they possibly surpass the level of excitement Secretariat had provided a year earlier? What about the state of racing in 2024? And who does Moss like in this years race? We talk with an expert in the field of horse racing as they head towards the gate... on the Past Our Prime podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Apr 22 2024
    It's 1974, and Jenny Fulle wants to play ball... Little League baseball. With the boys. That's gonna be a problem. Undaunted by being rejected at every turn, she writes a letter to President Nixon setting in motion a chain of events that would eventually lead her to being the first girl to ever legally play Little League. She was a pioneer 50 years ago and continues that to this day as a visual effects producer for such Major Motion Pictures as Apollo 13, Seabiscuit, Lord of the Rings and many more. It's a great chat with a girl who just wanted to have fun... playing with the boys... and hitting dingers... Join us for an illuminating conversation with a woman who changed the sports landscape for girls half a century ago on the Past Our Prime podcast. Learn more about your ad choices.
