	Description:		Jody Avirgan, host of ESPN's 30 for 30 Podcast, joins us this week and shares his favourite sports podcasts. Including -- 30 for 30: In the early 90s, Reebok ran an ad campaign pitting two American decathletes against each other, "to be settled in Barcelona" at the Olympics. Except one of them didn't end up qualifying. Believed: This powerful podcast tells the story of how Larry Nassar was able to manipulate and abuse hundreds of girls and their parents over the course of his career. This episode focuses on the parents of those girls, and how they've been affected by the fallout after Nassar's high-profile conviction. Outside/In: An oral history of the first ever paintball match, told by those who played. ESPN's Ahead Of Their Time: Charles Reep was a visionary. He alone was able to identify the critical flaw that was holding back English soccer, and he put in motion a plan to fix it. The only problem was he was completely wrong. Only A Game: Reporter Shirley Wang's father, Lin Wang, strikes up an unlikely friendship with NBA hall of famer Charles Barkley when they stay in the same hotel one night. Barkley even gives him his phone number. The two remained friends for years to come - even though none of Wang's friends believed him. Plus, head to our website to see a clip of Jody playing professional ultimate Frisbee (what a catch!) - cbc.ca/1.5080945
