I am hosting a brand new podcast from Global Athlete, and the first episode dropped today, June 15th! You can find it at the links below or by searching for ‘Global Athlete’ wherever you listen to podcasts.

The new podcast features in-depth conversations about international sport governance, athlete rights, and the future of the Olympic and Paralympic games. New episodes will drop weekly on Tuesdays.

The first episode, out today, gives an overview and history of international sport governance. I spoke with Professor Jules Boykoff of Pacific University about how athletes fit into the Olympic story, the IOC’s governance structure, how the United Nations addresses the democracy deficit of the IOC, and more.

If you enjoyed the conversations that I recorded on this feed, I am sure that you will enjoy the new show.
