"Oh sport, you are... hype?"

'Beyond the Spin' is a new and, to a certain extent, unique show in the podcast genre, in which Russian ice meets hot Namibian desert. The main actors Yuri Lindre, a political scientist and media expert from Moscow, and JP Nel, a journalist and radio presenter from Windhoek, reveal all the background of the main news topics discussed around the world. Our task is to remove all the superfluous and get to the core of it, giving our subscribers the right to form their own opinion about the events happening around us.

The main topic of this Friday's episode is international sports. We'll discuss the meaning of Alexander Ovechkin's NHL score record, talk about the upcoming FIFA World Cup's hidden pitfalls and analyze the causes of the modern Olympics' degradation and possibilities for its revival.
