Grant has two interviews in this episode. The first is with Ted Philipakos, the American chief marketing officer of Venezia. He tells the remarkable story of the Venice club's rise from the fourth division to Serie A, the American influence on the club (from himself to owner Duncan Niederauer to players Tanner Tessmann and Gianluca Busio) and what makes a soccer team in one of the world's tourism capitals so special.
The second interview is with Bayern Munich's Sarah Zadrazil (31:47), who explains how she went from her native Austria to playing college soccer at East Tennessee State, her journey to Bayern Munich and her hopes of contending for this year's women's UEFA Champions League title.
