    Introducing Physical Capital: Swimming

    Introducing Physical Capital: Swimming

    Welcome to Physical Capital, a series centered around the human relationship with swimming. What draws us to it? How do we use it, what do we gain from it… and what it can take from us?

    We’ll be looking at swimming from multiple angles to help paint a complete picture of the sport.

    We’re going to be exploring swimming through the prism of ‘Physical Capital' - discussing the physical attributes that can give you an advantage in the water and how they’ve been used to achieve greatness and how they can be affected and influenced by politics, geography and the unequal distribution of resources.

    And most importantly we’ll be speaking to swimmers - from those that push themselves to their limits in the swimming pool and in open water, to those that swim for fun and for pleasure, and those who document its history.

    Hosted by Rebecca Achieng Ajulu-Bushell

So much good information.

I (a white person) moved from the US to the UK during the pandemic, and this podcast is so helpful in filling in the gaps of my understanding of the social, cultural, and political context that I’m finding myself in. Thank you so much for this work, I am so grateful to learn about how race and racism function in Britain and Europe, and I recognise what a valuable resource this is in effectively doing The Work.

Anti-White podcast

Thorough insight into anti-White ideology by one of it's more prolific ideologues. It is filled with Anti-White rhetoric and divisivnes. Built on capitalizing on white guilt ingrained into collective mind of the populace by left wing propaganda machine.

Great perspective

Funny, smart podcast on this important subject.
