Award season has come to an end, so we look back at a past awards  darling to see how it holds up today. Spoiler, it doesn't. 2009's Invictus tells the story of Nelson Mandela and the 1995 South African World Cup rugby team and earned Oscar nominations for both Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. Lucky for us, Fatimah Gilliam (author of Race Rules: What Your Black Friend Won't Tell You) is here to help us break it all down!  We discuss Mandela's rugby obsession, the lack of apartheid in a movie about apartheid, and what exactly this movie wants us to feel good about? You have to check out Fatimah's book! As she says, go order it a Black bookstore, go request at your local library, and rate it on Amazon to help work that algorithm! You can also find Fatimah on Twitter @fatimahgilliam and on Instagram @fatimah_gilliam We have live show stuff coming soon!

We continue to the race discussion this week with ESPNCricinfo's Firdose Moonda. A week ago, when it was leaked that race played a hand in the South African World Cup semi final side, we tackled it from a white South African perspective. Firdose helps us understand the issue from a 'person of colour' perspective. In the chat, we ask Firdose some tough questions such as: Are quotas just another form of apartheid? - Why is Cricket South Africa so evasive about the subject - Is this the best way to promote cricket to all races - Is Philander just a quota player - Should India have quotas due to centuries of the caste system - Why have Cricket South Africa shunned her? - and of course, we also tackle the Scott Muller Award!Does it get any bigger than this? Mr Lalit Modi. The King of Controversy The man who, while at the BCCI, created the biggest T20 tournament in the world in the IPL Also the man whom the BCCI banned for life. I asked you guys for some questions and you didn't fail to deliver. I put every hard one at him. You need to listen to this to truly appreciate this man. NOTE - POST PUBLISHING THIS INTERVIEW, I RECEIVED LEGAL LETTERS REQUESTING US TO REMOVE REFERENCES TO CERTAIN PLAYERS GIVEN UPCOMING CRIMINAL CASES. THIS HAS BEEN DONE. THE REST OF THE INTERVIEW HAS REMAINED INTACT AND IS JUST AS BRUTAL! Is he a hypocrite? - Does he regret killing of the ICL and taking away Kapil Dev's pension? - Any truth to any of the charges the BCCI convicted him of? - Modi vs Srinivasan - What did he discuss with the ECB when he tried to start a rebel league? - Mudgal - Who is in the sealed envelope? - What is Subhash Chandra and the Essel Group really planning? - Are they corrupt too? - How many of his 800k twitter followers did he buy? Of course, he also nominates a winner for the Scott Muller Award! This is about as awesome as a cricket podcast can get. Please leave us a review and share with your mates on social media. Finally, make sure you listen to the outtakes.

In 2010, for the first time, an African nation hosted the FIFA World Cup. The advertisements surrounding the tournament used graphics and sounds intended to conjure the image of a vibrant, exotic land. In fact, though, the African-ness of the South African World Cup was pretty thin, when not wholly fabricated. For example, the music that introduced ESPN’s World Cup coverage sounded very African, as it opened with the sounding of an ox horn (the promo showed a bare-chested tribesman blowing the horn atop a mountain, silhouetted against the setting sun) and then built with pulsing drums and a choir singing layered refrains. But the piece had been written by a composer from Utah, the musicians had recorded it in Utah, and the choir consisted of members of the Broadway cast of The Lion King. At least Shakira’s ubiquitous song “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” had a more substantial African connection. It had been lifted, initially without credit, from a Cameroonian military song made popular in the 1980s by the group Golden Sounds. The ironies of the 2010 tournament in South Africa are revealed in a number of essays in Africa’s World Cup: Critical Reflections on Play, Patriotism, Spectatorship, and Space (University of Michigan Press, 2013), edited by Peter Alegi and Chris Bolsmann. In the interview with Peter, we learn of the findings and observations of the volume’s contributors: an international collection of anthropologists, architectural critics, bloggers, geographers, sociologists, journalists, photographers, and former players who all attended matches in South Africa. They make sharp criticisms of class divides at the venues, the nationalism and commercialism, and, of course, the imperial reach of FIFA. But as we hear from Peter, the book’s authors were also fans. When mixing with other fans outside the stadiums, and then cheering their teams when the matches began, even normally skeptical academics and journalists were caught up in the event. Their experiences show that, for all its faults, the FIFA World Cup is still an incomparable event. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa took place in locations all around the country this past summer. With three months’ hindsight, we gather to celebrate and reflect on it. What, precisely, happened during that month-long experience, and what remains? How was the World Cup a ‘state of exception’ in South Africa, and what should we make of that? And, not to be glossed over: Why should we love the vuvuzela?
