About this episode
We're less than 500 days away from the start of Tokyo 2020, so we thought it would be fun to look back at the last Games held in Tokyo and compare the two. Tokyo 1964 was special for many advances, both for the Games and for the country of Japan–it's interesting to note those changes and wonder how we'll experience with the next Summer Games.
Plus, we have a lot of TOFU (which includes Jill, surprisingly), as well as other Olympic news, including this Kickstarter about a Munich 1972 design book.
Don't forget to support the show–there's not that much time before Tokyo 2020, and we'd like to have the resources to do more great things with this podcast. We appreciate all the support we get so very much!
