Recently, you may have heard us talking about the new Guardian podcast Forgotten Stories of Football – a place where you can hear some of the best football stories you’ve probably never heard before. And as the series is now live, we thought we would bring you the first episode: how Nazi bullying and controversial victories overshadowed Italy’s gold medal at the Berlin Games. Make sure to subscribe to Forgotten Stories of Football wherever you get your podcasts. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/footballweeklypod
