Season 3, Ep. 6
•
We reach the middle of series 3 with a great chat featuring a brand new guest in Handball commentator and fellow Olympic podcast host, Chris O'Reilly. He is a man of many talents and we talk plenty of them, including his playing career in both standard and beach handball and his other job being a theatre director in the Gothenburg Fringe. On top of all that, there's the little matter of creating his own Olympics too. We've a lot to get through!
