Introducing our new mix series by @taylorphinney. In his own words, “Scapes is an evolving exploration into the transference of energy between different sources of audio.

SCAPES 001

We spend a lot of time discussing the concept of sport, the athlete and the role they play in wider society. As we have been writing and editing the next episode of Outspoken we have been confronted with this question in light of a major war. Of course that changes things dramatically right? Or does it? As we’ve been debating this we keep coming back to something a guest said on a previous episode of the show. So today we wanted to dive back into the archive with alpinist, Adrien Costa. 

As I said we have a brand new episode of Outspoken coming next week as well as more Ramble and Scapes in the works.What is an athlete? It’s a simple question with a myriad of complicated answers. Or is it? Adrien Costa had the cycling world at his feet, amassing an incredible resume before the age of twenty when seemingly out of the blue he decided to leave the sport entirely.

Finding himself in the mountains once again but this time closer to their summit Adrien was again pushing himself in pursuit of his limits, that is until the universe pushed back. Adrien lost his leg in a climbing incident. But rather than let his injury define him, he’s channelled that brush with death to find clarity on what it is to be an athlete and a human being.

Outspoken is a thereabouts production. Produced and edited by Abigail Levene, & Angus Morton. Sound design and mix by Ben Cranell. Executive producers Isaac Karsen & Angus Morton. Music by the enigmatic Builders Tea

Here’s SCAPES 002, the second installment in Taylor Phinney’s mix series. A note on this mix from Taylor: “The goal it seems, at least from my limited and beginner perspective, is to lose touch with that impulse in this maze of windows—to feel and act with total awareness and presence—almost ‘coming to’ on the other side of time.”

S1 EP03 - This week on Outspoken we’re talking about Ethics in sport. 

What is their place? Do they have a place? Who establishes them and how are they upheld? 

We look at the case study of Gianni Moscon and talk with esteemed scholar and head of the ground breaking Sports Governance Centre at CU Dr Roger Pielke.

You can find Dr Roger's book The Edge: The War Against Cheating and Corruption in the Cutthroat World Of Elite Sport on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Edge-against-Cheating-Corruption-Cutthroat/dp/1938901576

Outspoken - Dr Roger Pielke

S1 BONUS - After our discussion with Dr Roger I reached out to another friend of mine who I feel has one of the most impressive minds in the sport of cycling to take what Dr Roger said and go a little deeper and more specific into the case of Moscon. That friend is Steve Maxwell, author of The Outer Line and one of cycling most intelligent voices.

Outspoken BONUS Episode - Steve Maxwell

S1 EP05 - This week's guest is an old friend and a dear friend. Someone I very much looked up to as a junior and someone I was fortunate enough to race alongside in my first season in the professional ranks. 

Mitch Docker is in his thirteenth year making a living off of racing his bike, a team captain at EF Education First, Mitch possesses a humility and objective reason seldom found in a professional athlete. And he has amazing hair.

In a refreshingly candid interview Mitch opened up about the possibility of never racing again, the empathy required to be a team captain, the changing shape of the pro peloton, life in the peloton and life after it.

You can listen to any of Mitch's podcasts here: https://lifeinthepeloton.com/

Outspoken - Mitch Docker

A new episode of Outspoken continues our deepdive into the issue of trans rights in sport.Rugby prides itself on a motto of “rugby for all.” Yet on October 9, 2020, World Rugby banned trans women from the highest level of the sport — becoming the first international governing body to do.

The “science” used to justify this ban is a sham. We get into that. But frankly, scientific arguments around this issue in rugby, running and sport at large misses the actual point.

What those arguing against inclusion seem to forget is that they are toying with real people’s lives, including the life of the brilliant, kind, and delightful Grace McKenzie.

Sport has played an integral role lifting Grace up throughout her life, and ultimately affirming her as a human.

World Rugby striped that sanctuary away. Yet Grace rose to the challenge to fight for this foundational human right

If you want to listen, you can find the episode wherever you listen to podcasts.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Since recording, the Rugby World Cup has been moved to 2022.

You can sign the petition in support of Grace and her fellow trans ruggers here: https://www.change.org/p/world-rugby-keep-rugby-open-to-trans-women-athletes
