Episode 27: Digging for Sports Finance Dirt

Joining the show this week is Scott Soshnick, sports business reporter for Bloomberg, who gives his perspective on how money and sports mix.

Scott explains Bloomberg’s interest in the business of sports, where he finds his information about the finances of sports teams, and why in doing his job he’s happy to never set foot in a locker room.

He gives his view on where the next wave of major sports deals - from media rights to franchise ownership - might come from.

And with the Olympics ongoing in Rio de Janeiro, Scott asks what the financial future holds for the IOC.
