Israel kills more than 100 in one attack, Iran bides its time

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on August 9, 2021. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.

Another Olympics has come and gone. And as the athletes and sponsors leave town, Tokyo could be left to deal with the debt, gentrification, and displacement that can come from hosting the games. In this episode, we look at the social cost of hosting sporting events and the activists fighting to keep the Olympics out of their hometowns. 

In this episode: 
Christopher Gaffney (@geostadia), associate professor at New York University
Theresa Williamson (@greencities), executive director of Catalytic Communities (@CatComm)
Jonny Coleman of @NOlympicsLA
