About this listen

Running Things is a new original series hosted by world record-breaking sprinter and two-time Olympic Champion Donovan Bailey, alongside broadcaster and journalist Jason Portuondo. Every week, Bailey and Portuondo have inquisitive, open-minded discussions about global topics relevant to the modern human experience, such as the Black Lives Matter movement, the psychological and sociological effects of social media, the politics of sport, critical moments in pop culture, and news, and more — all with a dose of levity and optimism.

Each episode is intended to offer an enriching dialogue that leaves listeners with a deeper comprehension of the subject matter, and a feeling of empowerment that translates into their daily lives. Throughout the series, Bailey and Portuondo will from time to time be joined by notable guests.
