Officer Read, this is a summary of a plot. . . .
Show Description
Shep talks about a book that was sent to him by a listener - "Sporting Anecdotes" from 1823
He spends the entire show reading passages from the book:
Cupping on the Turf
Bear-Baiting in Olden Times
Portrait of a Jockey
Female Pedestrianism
Athletic Sports in America
Major Topham
Possibly others but the show was poorly recorded and is barely audible from 28min to 33min and then becomes inaudible at 38 minutes.
