On today’s episode of Hear Me Out: opening ceremonies (and a can of worms).
We come to you midway through the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. But amid the patriotism, athletic prowess, and sheer spectacle of these games — the most watched and streamed to date, by some measures — there’s also concerns about geopolitical power, human rights abuses, and the facilitation of facism.
MacIntosh Ross of Windsor University joins us to talk about the uglier facets of the Olympic Games.
