Episode Synopsis

Welcome back to the podcast where research and knowledge are secondary to the ramblings of an old man and the occasional interjection of his teenage son.

On this week's episode, a Josh-less podcast talks about the initial viewings of the Paris Olympics and goes about discussing three main points. Firstly the way that the TV coverage of the Olympics has changed and also how it has remained the same, and we look at the good and the awful of what has been produced so far. Secondly we discuss a number of the sports and so-called sports that are being held at this Olympics, and whether or not they are appropriate or necessary at the largest sporting event in the world. And thirdly, we talk about the United States and their absolute requirement of being seen as the world's superpower in sport, and how they will manipulate a medal tally to ensure that they are always in front.

For those of you still here, thanks for listening to Peters and Peters, the podcast where knowing about sport is secondary to your ability to talk rubbish about it.
