Description

It’s the largest amateur rugby tournament in the world, and it’s named after a hero of 9/11.

And for this episode of the BBC’s LGBT Sport Podcast, we’re looking at the remarkable story of the Bingham Cup.

It’s another documentary-style show, as we look at the lives of Mark Bingham and Alice Hoagland; the growth of the tournament itself; and how the rise of the Cup is inextricably linked with the growth of inclusive rugby.

It’s a poignant listen about a brilliant event, and we think it’ll stick with you for a long time.
