State of Play: Summer Games podcast

State of Play: Summer Games

The Olympics are meant to welcome the world, but who are they really for? Meet the people who are moved out, pushed out, and priced out in the name of sports. Host Andie Crossan brings you to Paris, Vancouver, and Los Angeles on a surprising journey into the long shadows cast by the Olympic torch. Produced by the Global Reporting Centre (GRC) and distributed by PRX. The GRC is an editorially independent journalism organization based at the UBC School of Journalism, Writing, and Media. Founded in 2016, we are leaders in doing global journalism differently. We innovate industry practice, educate the next generation, and promote greater equity in journalism.
