Episode 129 - The Hottest Summer Ever…or was it?

The For & Against team have seen a few summers of sport - perhaps too many, but still never enough. And every summer, we see challenges to the status quo: basketball on Christmas Day, shorter then longer then shorter BBL seasons, the eternal optimism that football will take over riding the wave of the miraculous Matildas or a shift in broadcast rights that promises to redefine summer sport. But is summer sport reinventing itself?  Or is it a case of the more things change, the more they stay the same? The FANDA team are here to break it down and put it back together again in ways you never thought of! And then it’s a trip down memory lane as we assess The Guardian’s top Australian sports moments and determine what achievements are eternal and which might be bright and shiny with a recency bias. Outrageously not mentioned is a three-peat Australian world champion…thank goodness we were here! And hang around to the end, when Red Card Yellow Card, which shines the spotlight on sport and sportspeople behaving badly, features some outrageous electric pulses, late night over partying and mindless misogyny. We hope you enjoy this episode of For & Against.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
