The One with Bob Ballard

Commentator Bob Ballard joins us for a new episode of the LGBT Sport Podcast.

The LGBT Sport Podcast is the 成人快手's first dedicated programme looking at LGBTQ+ individuals, groups and organisations in sport. The aim is to tell interesting stories from interesting people, and show that sport is a place where everyone belongs.

In this episode, Jack Murley is joined by broadcaster Bob Ballard - a man who has commentated on Olympics, Paralympics, Commonwealth Games, World Championships and pretty much everything in between.

They talk about Bob's love of sport; his approach to tackling commentaries; his experiences of homophobia; and about some of his personal highlights. Plus, there's a trip back into the archives of 'The Other Side' - which is what this show grew out of - to hear from pansexual wrestler Jack Sexsmith.

Like what you hear? Why not subscribe and get future episodes of the LGBT Sport Podcast as soon as they're released, and review the show so more people can hear it. Or you could share it on social media, so more people can find out about the programme.
