Nobody - literally nobody - has written more words on the impact of Coronavirus on sport than Matt Slater, staff writer on The Athletic. So we got him on the podcast to see what he’s learnt. For 16 years, Matt was the BBC’s sports correspondent and more recently PA’s chief sports reporter. Also, he’s the spitting image of Chris Froome.Then we look at esports, and specifically the story that the sector is a safe haven in the sports market. For this we talk to Leo Matlock, chief commercial officer of Blast, the leading esports company, which owns some of the leading teams, including world #1 Astralis in CS:GO, and Origen in LoL, and have created a brand new esports tournament - BLAST Pro Series.
