Description
Teatime Declarations is a new podcast that plays in the corridor of uncertainty between cricket and geopolitics. We take you on an indulgent journey through history and international affairs through the lens of cricket. And an even more indulgent discovery of cricket through the lens of states and societies, empire and underdogs, diplomacy and war, money and scandal. So far we’ve looked at match fixers and bookmakers, religion and populism in India and Pakistan, and national identity in Australia. We’ve speculated about Saudi and Chinese investment in cricket, unearthed some unlikely stories of Jewish impact on the sport, and uncovered an unexpected benefit of Brexit. But we’ve also had a great natter about The Ashes, England’s World Cup failures, and The Hundred. So join Jonathan Russell and Paul Seligman, and subscribe so you don’t miss future episodes.
