Dave Zirin and Jules Boykoff return to the show to discuss the experience of covering one of the most eventful Olympics ever. We discuss their most lasting takeaways from the Games, things you had to be there to understand, how these Olympics compared to past experiences, and all of the other newsworthy stories you might imagine, from questions of Palestine solidarity to the triumph of Imane Khelif and everything else in between. Dave Zirin is sports editor at The Nation, host of The Edge of Sports podcast, and author of eleven books including The Kaepernick Effect, Brazil's Dance with the Devil, and Welcome to the Terror Dome.
