The Foreign Desk - A podcast by Monocle

The Olympics have never been just about the sports. We explore what it means for athletes to represent their countries, the mood in France and the history of boycotts and other geopolitical moments at the Games. Recorded at our pop-up studio in Paris, Andrew Mueller speaks to French journalist Daphnée Denis, athlete Shaun Gill of Belize and the Olympic Refugee Team’s chef de mission, Masomah Ali Zada. Plus: Taiwan-based filmmaker Garret Clarke and historian Philip Barker.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
