Episode description

In July 2017, the International Olympic Committee did something unprecedented. It awarded not one, but two cities Olympic games at the same time. The 2024 games to Paris and the 2028 games to Los Angeles. However, this decision wasn’t a stroke of genius. It was an act of desperation. That is because no one really wants to host an Olympics anymore. Learn more about the economics and politics of hosting the Olympic games and how it has radically changed over time on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
