Bracass energy only. Isn’t that kind of the whole point of Orienteer Pod? Not too serious, not too credible — but maybe a few laughs. Episode 53 delivers exactly that.

Magnus visits Ralph and questions his domestic habits. There’s banana eating, broken French arms, and broken Kiwi ankles, as Tim finds out the hard way that recovering from one injury just means that you are closer to the next one.

We chat about the French Bracass Jukola team, debate whether to save more Jukola talk for a proper pre-race show, and send out some long-overdue apologies. Meanwhile, Miloš Nykodým once again finds himself in a standoff with a stick.

Plus: receding hairlines, tricky dilemmas, weird things to find while orienteering — and much more.
