The summer Olympics are upon us! Which is time for fun and revelry and politics? Well as far as the IOC is concerned, no the Olympics are not political. But that's actually not the case. And in today's episode we'll break down the history, geography and geopolitics of the world's largest sporting competition.
Also apologies for the very light editing today. I plum ran out of time! 😵💫

Thank you for gloin over an hour this episode, it’s appreciated!
Another controversy with hosting the Olympics came with the Winter Games of 1976. Denver was scheduled to host but declined due to local political pressure - it was given to Innsbruck, which had it before in 1964.
I think you can get an inside TV antenna for NBC.
