The “Olympics, Here?” Bonus Segment
Josh Levin, Mike Pesca, and June Thomas discuss hosting the Olympics in the good ol’ U.S.A.

In this week’s Slate Plus bonus segment for Slate’s Hang Up and Listen podcast, Josh, Mike, and June discuss about whether they’ll be disappointed if the Olympics aren’t held on American soil soon. Also—what is the price of hosting the games, anyways? Listen to find out more.
