Episode 24 - Roger Bannister & The 4 Minute Mile


We look at what we've described as sports "landing on the moon moment" as Sir Roger Bannister becomes the first man to run a mile in under 4 minutes.

Going through Bannister's career, and looking at what drove the man to push sporting achievement, we get to the core of what pushes a person to do what's viewed as impossible.

The obligatory tangents break off into the uneasy relationship that exists between the similar worlds of geekery and sport.
