As the FIFA World Cup gets underway in Qatar this week, the plight of migrant workers who have built the stadiums that are hosting the games will dissolve into the background for many people.

For others though, this World Cup has become as much about human rights and workers safety and freedom from exploitation as it is about the scores and results.

On this week's pod, I take a deep dive into the issue of workers and human rights in Qatar.

Have reforms made it ok to play the world's greatest sporting event in that country?
