There's no doubt that the country is in a sporting dip. Just like the slump between Christmas and New Year's Eve, we're in that uncomfortable period between the Olympics and Paralympics that has left us with no reason to stay up all night watching the television and using awful Olympic-themed puns in our work emails.
So how to get through without resorting to searching for competitive tiddlywinks on a distant streaming channel?
Don't Tell Me the Score is a BBC podcast series, in which presenter Simon Mundie has conversations with a variety of experts in their field about what lessons sport can teach us about the world.
The podcasts range from tips on overcoming sleeplessness and insomnia, to conversations about how to eat like a premiership footballer, and how to make the most of a talent.
There are currently 129 podcasts to listen to here on the BBC website. Easily enough to get you through to the Paralympics opening ceremony on 24th August.
