Among other things, we look at it as an arena for cultural diplomacy and the branding of a nation. Beneath the glitz and glamour, what proxy wars are playing out? And what do they tell us about where Europe is today? In this series, William and Freddy will explore those themes with some very exciting guests telling us their stories first-hand. From running through sniper fire to overcoming religious backlash, our guests offer unique insights into the most significant moments of the contest — and how they reflected the many cleavages and conflicts of the continent.
