The One with Alan Baser

The LGBT Sport Podcast

Available for over a year

Imagine having the final say on whether someone wins a gold medal -- or goes home with absolutely nothing? That's the sort of pressure that falls on Alan Baser's shoulders as one of the most respected judges in the world of sailing. It's a vocation that's taken him across the globe, from World Championships to Olympic Games -- and it all began with a bit of messing around on a river in Plymouth. He's been telling us about the life of a judge; about getting decisions right and not taking the work home with you; about how even he feels 'imposter syndrome'; and how singing in a choir helps him relax! He's a brilliant guest - and we think you'll like him as much as we do. WANT TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OUR GUESTS? Twitter: @AlanBaser WANT TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE SHOW?
