What’s the most unusual way the Olympic Flame has been relayed from Athens to the modern games? And whose face was on the best-selling U.S. commemorative stamp of all time?

You will be absolutely stunned, when you learn about the origin of the Olympic Torch Relay. It had nothing to do with the Ancient Olympic Games, but rather, has a troubled history rooted in Nazi Germany. This brief Podcast shares the unlikely story that very few know about.

The Olympic Torch Relay came through Stoke-on-Trent on Wednesday 30th May 2012.

"There's been a rush on at the moment to find the next woman singer songwriter.... none have come close to being as emotionally involving or genuine as multi instrumentalist Juliana Meyer. The quality of the music on this album is simply divine. Juliana is a genuine talent." Ollie Cornish, Music-News.com

"Juliana not only looks like an angel she sings like one live! She's definitely a star in the making. I've had the pleasure to interview Amy Winehouse, Katherine Jenkins and Katie Melua just before they 'broke' and I predict Juliana is heading in the same direction" Sadie Nine, BBC Radio

"The album is beautifully arranged...a dynamic and evocative collection of calm yet powerful acoustic tracks, each paying tribute to the musical talents – vocal and instrumental – of this incredible artist." Oxide Radio

"The term “singer-songwriter” doesn’t really do justice to the powerhouse known as Juliana Meyer. Meyer is clearly on the verge of joining Katie Melua and Natasha Bedingfield in the pantheon of sweet-voiced young British stars." OxfordBands.com

"With a hint of Lily Allen and a touch of Kate Bush, Juliana Meyer has reached the top spot with Holding Up The Sky.  Going from strength to strength, it is no doubt only a matter of time before we will see this artist develop into a household name." TopOfTheOx
