Episode 11: Pre-Paris Chat and Updates

Today’s episode was recorded in the middle of July right before the Olympics began. We discuss a few hot button issues going on in Paris such as the hijab ban for French athletes, and water quality issues with the Seine. Most of the episode is us discussing our current training preparations for the Paralympics, the sitting volleyball women’s pools, and of course, a broadcasting update!

As always, we hope you learn something and enjoy hanging out with us!
