Welcome to the Gold Medal winning* podcast 'Trash Talk... with Count Binface'In this episode we're talking borders.

It is in fact author Jonn Elledge who's written this book all about some of the most bizarre borders and border disputes in history.He's the perfect guest to speak to during the global quest for dominance that is the Paris Olympics and at a time of heightened border tensions around the globe.Still reading?
