The Other Side is the 麻豆社's first and only show looking at LGBTQ+ individuals and groups in sport, telling stories that don't usually get spoken about and showing that sport is a place where everyone belongs. If you've ever watched the Six Nations or a Rugby World Cup game, you'll recognise the voice of today's guest. Referee Nigel Owens has become one of the most respected names in the sport - and has been speaking to us during a visit to the Channel Islands to speak at the Jersey Reds. On the agenda - becoming a referee; the impact of social media on recruiting new officials; coming out publicly in the world of rugby; and when he's going to call time on his refereeing career.
