In this programme, presenter Fergus Nichol discusses, among other things, the loss of the original Corinthian spirit in sport, internet privacy and China’s growing influence in Africa and across the world with Mihir Bose ; Kate Crawford, deputy director, Journalism and Media Research, University of New South Wales; and sports correspondent Seth Bennett.
