Episode Notes
We’ve got together with Americast and Newscast for three special episodes on what could be the most political World Cup ever. How much will Donald Trump make it about him? Will the US-Iran war affect the tournament? And why are tickets so expensive? Our own John Murray, Newscast's Adam Fleming, and Americast's Marianna Spring and Anthony Zurcher tell you everything you need to know about what’s going on off the pitch. In this episode we look at why the US, Canada, and Mexico were picked as hosts, and who’s benefiting from the Trump-Infantino bromance. Parts 2 and 3 are in the Newscast and Americast feeds on BBC Sounds. Listen to Newscast here: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/series/p05299nl Listen to Americast here: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p07h19zz
