A very special episode to close out the month today as we sit down with one of the most well known Olympic historians on the planet, Philip Barker, to learn about his career in the world of the Olympics and learn more about his very unique profession that we all pretty much dream we could have! We find out just how Philip got in to the Olympics and how that path took him towards his current profession. We also find out a vast variety of incredible Olympic stories and facts, as Philip goes over some unique insights into the Olympic bidding process and where we sit with it now, as well as the general celebration that each city has when it comes to hosting the Olympics Games. Added to this some great talk about everything from Antwerp to Brisbane, and you are in for one hell of a historical ride from one hell of a smart man. It's one of our most unique interviews ever, so get to listening to avoid disappointment!
