95 Minutes of a 14-Day Quarantine (feat. Jannik Blair)

In this episode, James & Mark invade the peace & quiet of Jannik Blair's hotel room as he quarantines in preparation for training with the Australian national team. On our second attempt at recording an episode while accounting for a significant time difference, Jannik joins us from 8 1/2 hours in the future to talk all things wheelchair basketball. 

We touch on how Jannik got started in wheelchair basketball following an accident in a farm vehicle, before jumping ahead to cover his experiences in the last 4 seasons with Bidaideak Bilbao, and how they came to be perceived as the villains of the Spanish League. 

Lastly, we cover the changing of the guard within the Australian national team that has led to the team's current iteration, and what the future holds for them. 

With all that out of the way, we answer your questions.
