About this listen

A podcast (25–30 minutes per episode) profiling the hidden builders of sport: the coaches, trainers, statisticians, groundskeepers, inventors, and rule-makers whose quiet decisions shaped how games are played and understood. Each episode is a hands-on workshop in audio form—the host walks listeners through whiteboards, practice fields, and equipment benches using vivid language and a warm, craft-focused tone. Legends get the headlines; this show illuminates the craftspersons and their process.
