A podcast about the people, powers, and politics shaping sport. Play the Game Podcast will bring you some of the voices, stories, and debates that rarely get enough space in the world of sport. For almost three decades, Play the Game has worked to create space for open, critical, and informed dialogue about international sport. We have done so through our conferences, analyses, and journalism. Now, we are bringing that work to your headphones. You will hear from investigative journalists, researchers, athletes, whistleblowers, sports leaders, decision-makers, and other voices who help uncover what is happening behind the scenes of international sport. We will bring you interviews, narrated articles, conference presentations, and critical debates on some of the biggest challenges facing sport today — from corruption, matchfixing, doping, and human rights to geopolitics, gambling, sustainability, athlete welfare, and abuse in sport. Some episodes will give new life to important material from Play the Game’s conferences and website — presentations, articles, and conversations that deserve to travel further than the room where they were first heard. For many years, Play the Game has been known as a home for the homeless questions in sport. Today, there are still many such questions — and many people who need a place where difficult, uncomfortable, and important stories can be told. The Play the Game Podcast is for everyone who believes that sport deserves scrutiny, transparency, and open debate.Copyright 2026 Play the Game
