The LGBT Sport Podcast - The One with Andy Paul

Andy Paul first got involved with Birchfield Harriers when he was 11 years old.

He was, by his own description, a fairly average athlete – but his love affair with the sport has existed ever since.

He’s been a club at the coach for decades, as well as a deputy-chair and chair – and now, he’s a life vice-president.

He’s also one of the founders of the Athletics Pride Network, which launched last year to help make athletics a place where more LGBTQ+ people feel welcome.

This is a conversation that touches on that; the plans for the network going forward; Andy’s own experiences of being LGBTQ+ in sport, and loads more besides.

He’s a brilliant, engaging talker – and we’re really glad Andy found the time to join us for a chat.
