In this episode, we get to interview the great Professor Andy Markovits from the University of Michigan.  This episode is incredible, and we are so lucky to have had Professor Andy on the Podcast.  We discuss all things sport and more.  The short bio below doesn't give Professor Andy justice, so please go to http://www.andymarkovits.com/ to read more.

We were going to make this into 2-3 episodes, BUT we decided to leave it as one long interview as it was so enjoyable.  If it weren't for the late hour where Andy was our own, Dr Andy Harper would never have stopped the interview.  We hope you enjoy it.

Andrei Markovits is currently an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and the Karl W. Deutsch Collegiate Professor of Comparative Politics and German Studies at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He is the author and editor of many books, scholarly articles, conference papers, book reviews and newspaper contributions in English and many foreign languages on topics as varied as German and Austrian politics, anti-Semitism, anti-Americanism, social democracy, social movements, the European right and the European left. Markovits has also worked extensively on comparative sports culture in Europe and North America. Andy's newest book is his memoir entitled The Passport as Home: Comfort in Rootlessness published by the Central European University Press in Budapest, Vienna and New York.
