Despre acest podcast
Introducing Unsung, a podcast about the sports stars you don’t know, telling the stories you can’t miss.
Join sports writer Alexis James as he goes behind the scenes of professional sport, looking beyond the headlines to introduce and celebrate its hidden stars.
Meet athletics starters, snowmakers, F1 mechanics, guide runners, and unheralded athletes as Unsung shines a rare spotlight on the integral men and women in the shadows, interwoven in the fabric of sport.
For while its biggest stars and household names enjoy the glory, tucked away amid sport’s small print and voiceless under its fanfare is a band of unsung heroes rarely acknowledged, let alone championed. And it's about time that changed.
