We’ll release a new episode on the first Wednesday of each month, starting August 5.

Really enjoyed this chat ! Starting to get really sad about no Olympics this year. I understand the bigger picture, but so Feel for the athletes and Japan. I truly hope that Tokyo gets the chance next year to put on the games they envisaged would have been on this year!

@ReadySetTokyo @SEQMayors Loved your shout out to New York City as the best city not yet to have hosted an Olympiad. I’d love to see a Summer Games in my hometown!
