    "74 Batons, One Message": The Reimagined Race to Glasgow 2026

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 23, 2026 8:28


    "The baton isn't just one physical object moving around the world anymore—it’s 74 unique stories of culture and diversity finally reuniting in one place." Craig Phillips, CEO of Commonwealth Games Australia, joins the show to discuss the official touchdown of the King’s Baton Relay on home soil. With the Glasgow 2026 Games (the "replacement games" after Victoria's withdrawal) just months away, the tradition has been completely reimagined for the era of King Charles III. Instead of one baton traveling the globe, every single Commonwealth territory has received its own unique baton to decorate, each containing a single word from the King’s secret message to be revealed at the Opening Ceremony on July 23.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
