This month Alex and Kaleigh, as two football/soccer enthusiasts, are exploring some of the many ways that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and the Federation Internationale de Football Association are probably about politics, and they've brought on Corey Ganong, fellow soccer enthusiast and former sports podcast host to help break it down. Together they discuss the important role of international tournaments for nation-building, the increasing cost of running a world cup, and the value of sports washing for authoritarian regimes.

Got any questions you'd like us to answer? Topic ideas? Or just come to say hi!
