Episode 7 Volleyball and Handball Explained

Today on the show we talk about two sports that took off with Olympic successes but fell off in different ways. We talk about how volleyball went from a school game to national teams to the V-League and how handball's successes didn't translate to the public sphere. We interview a volleyball ref and discuss whether English is helpful for them with a surprising answer. Mr. P introduces the famous handball movie Forever the Moment, and the strange Handball League setup. We also would play volleyball if a skin cream exists that fixes the damage a 100km/h ball does to your face. And finally Worst Persons!
