The debut episode of the podcast features two guests.
Dr. Andrew Morris is an antimicrobial expert with a resume as long as your arm. He joins Richard and Donnovan to discuss why COVID-19 is so dangerous for the public and athletes, and what the near-future is likely to be for sports.
While many leagues are still brainstorming short-term solutions, IndyCar has launched its iRacing Challenge, pitting drivers against each other in virtual races aired live on TV, complete with trash talking. James Hinchcliffe is one of those drivers and he joins the podcast to discuss the Challenge versus real racing, how IndyCar has been communicating with teams and when he thinks it will be safe to get back on the track.
