This is Anything but Footy - the unashamedly biased Olympic and Paralympic podcast.

And this is a new series - Great British Bosses - where we profile the women and men responsible for sport in this country - many at national governing bodies - who manage teams, staff, budgets, grass-root participation and overseeing those medal moments at Olympic, Paralympic and elite level.

This week, we're going behind the scenes with Badminton England Chief Executive Adrian Christy - the sport that had its funding cut after creating history in Rio with its first ever men's doubles Olympic medal. He tells how he and the team felt that day, his other challenges, triumphs, regrets and why he's learning from Amazon & Spotify!

And if there's someone who you think is a Great British Boss - and would make a good podcast - please free to get in touch on twitter @AnythingbutF and using the hashtag #GBBosses or email [email protected]
