JD - Diversity & Inclusion in Sports

JD Sports with Gaydio and The Academy have teamed up to talk all things diversity and inclusion in sports. Applicants saw themselves taking on a 3-day course learning about Gaydio, interviewing techniques and then putting those skills to the test to go and interview sports personalities and LGBTQ+ clubs which they then used to create their own podcast by the end of the weekend.

Podcast episodes will also be on Gaydio Podcasts along with Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts to take with you wherever you go. Below are the latest episodes:
