Science. Technology. Ethics. Art and design. Culture. Media. Olympic sport.

Just some of the topics that this week’s podcast guest, Professor Andy Miah, counts within his sphere of expertise and interests. 

Specifically for this episode, we’ll be focusing on innovation in the sports industry – primarily sustainable innovation – and what news tech and ways of thinking are best placed to help the sector generate engagement, become more financially sustainable, and less of a burden on the planet’s resources.

Miah discusses the future of the Olympic Games, and how the current coronavirus pandemic and concerns around climate change may impact the way the Games is traditionally hosted. He also explains how eSports could help with that transition.
