À PROPOS DE CE PODCAST 🔗
Sport is weird. We should probably talk about that.
Hosted by Rudy Jean Rigg, Hannah Wilkinson and Mitch Brown, Benched is a sports and culture podcast unpacking the biggest moments in sport, from the stories everyone is talking about to the ones nobody is paying attention to.
We dive into the conversations happening beyond the scoreboard: the culture, internet drama, politics, identity, fandoms and ridiculous moments that make sport so much more than a game.
Expect sports news, athlete interviews, hot takes, internet rabbit holes, pop culture tangents and the stories traditional sports media misses. Benched brings a queer perspective to the biggest conversations in sport, without taking the fun out of it.
