あらすじ・解説
Today on the show we talk about two sports that took off with Olympic successes but fell off in different ways. We talk about how volleyball went from a school game to national teams to the V-League and how handball's successes didn't translate to the public sphere. We interview a volleyball ref and discuss whether English is helpful for them with a surprising answer. Mr. P introduces the famous handball movie Forever the Moment, and the strange Handball League setup. We also would play volleyball if a skin cream exists that fixes the damage a 100km/h ball does to your face. And finally Worst Persons!
