Episode 130: Cups, Plates and Trophy Design
We’re revisiting one of our classic episodes. Today we’re talking about two of the most iconic—and oddly shaped—trophies in the world: Wimbledon’s Venus Rosewater Dish and the Stanley Cup. If you’ve ever stared at a silver plate and thought, “That’s what victory looks like?” then this is the episode for you. We’re digging into the curious history of why some of the biggest wins come with even stranger hardware.

Show Notes
With March Madness wrapping-up and spring break calling, we’re revisiting one of our classic episodes.
If you wander into any school, bar or thrift store, you're bound to see a collection of trophies. Have you ever wondered why they often look like cups, plates and other objects you wouldn't think about grabbing after a robust game of tennis or an intense hockey match? We did, and we’ve got a couple of amazing examples we’re talking about today: Wimbledon's Venus Rosewater Dish for women's tennis and The Stanley Cup for men's hockey.
We’re digging into the curious history of why some of the biggest wins come with even stranger hardware. It’s time to grab a couple flutes of champagne to help us toast our latest episode, right here in the bar.
