During our first global conversation in early April, we spoke with experts from every continent about the impact that COVID-19 continues to have on the world of sport. Out of this, we came across a big question: "How do we reset sport?", posed by Simon Chadwick, Director of Eurasian Sport at emLYON Business School.
In our next conversation, we start chipping away at this idea.
Resetting sport can mean many different things. How will sport operate moving forward? Can we take this moment to evaluate changes needed to make sport better? Will change actually happen?
On this episode we'll invite a panel of experts on to the show to talk sports around the globe and hit on the rumored return of baseball and sports in the USA, bringing back sport in Australia amidst players' concerns, and what COVID-19 means for women's sport and the fight for equality.
Joining the conversation:
Tracey Holmes, Australian journalist, is a presenter on ABC News Radio, with an extensive career in television and radio, specialising predominantly in sport.
Victoria Jackson, Arizona State University clinical assistant professor of history, specializing in sport, and former NCAA champ and retired professional track and field athlete.
Howard Bryant, American author, sports journalist, and radio and television personality. He writes weekly columns for ESPN.com and ESPN The Magazine, ESPN, and appears regularly on ESPN Radio.
Moderated by:
