In this special recording live from Puck’s In the Arena earlier this month, LA28 chairman Casey Wasserman and NBC’s Molly Solomon join John to discuss the vision and the logistics of pulling off L.A. ’28—the first time the Summer Olympics come back to American soil since Atlanta in 1996. They chew over which new sports could capture the public’s imagination, the parlor game of who lights the Olympic flame, what it takes to stage the biggest live event on Earth, and plenty more.
