My college friend Ben Beach, editor of The Wilderness Society’s Wilderness Magazine, never misses a Harvard-Yale football game and always holds a tailgate barbecue before the game. In this podcast Ben talks about the hard-to-define pleasure he gets from this regularity, and he and I remember the most famous Harvard-Yale game in the 125-year history of the classic, 1968’s version which ended in a 29-29 tie. The podcast contains audio clips from Ben and his wife Carol’s 36th consecutive barbecue this year, and also some audio from a showing at a local movie theatre of “Harvard Beats Yale, 29-29,” a new documentary out about the game. I highly recommend the movie, which The New Yorker calls “a fascinating feat of cultural archeology.”
