E93: Fireside chat – NOlympics LA

Patreon-exclusive Fireside Chat podcast, where we sat down with Annie Powers from NOlympics LA to chat about the problematic history of the Olympic Games, the negative consequences it has on host cities, and the ongoing campaign against the hosting of the Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028.
