In this episode, we unpack the most unhinged Olympic Games in history. Hosted in St. Louis during the World’s Fair, the 1904 Olympics featured questionable races, exhausted athletes, outright cheating, and events that would never be allowed today.

From marathon runners collapsing (and cheating), to events that blurred the line between sport and spectacle, the 1904 Olympics were chaotic, unregulated, and deeply shaped by the politics and attitudes of the time. We break down what actually happened, why these Games went so wrong, and how they changed the future of the Olympics forever.

History is messy, and this episode proves it.
