Arena with Maurice Brosnan: Why does sport matter?
On this week's episode of Arena, the Irish Examiner podcast, Maurice is joined by Paul Rouse, professor of history at University College Dublin.
Together, they discuss why sport matters, why we care so deeply about it, and how its place in society has evolved over time. What purpose does sport serve in the modern world? Why should the government invest in it? And what sporting events still sit on their bucket lists?
Arena, from the Irish Examiner, is a weekly feature-style reflection on Irish sport. Listen for free on the Irish Examiner website or wherever you get your podcasts.
