About This Podcast
The Olympics are meant to welcome the world, but who are they really for? Meet the people who are moved out, pushed out, and priced out in the name of sports. Host Andie Crossan brings you to Paris, Vancouver, and Los Angeles on a surprising journey into the long shadows cast by the Olympic torch.
