Show Notes

We cover lots of different sports on the BBC’s LGBT Sport Podcast – and this week, we’ve got another one to add to the list.

eSports - otherwise known as professional video gaming - is enjoyed by millions around the world – and right at the centre of it all is a man from Cardiff.

James O’Leary is a commentator followed by thousands of people on social media - and on this fascinating episode, he gives us a brilliant insight into what eSports is all about. On the agenda - getting his start in the industry; the difficulties and joys of calling this form of action; whether he felt he could have come out earlier; and his career highlights so far.

We loved chatting with James for this one - and we really think you'll like him as well.
