The World Cup Mic
posted July 17, 2026 # 0 Comments
As is well established, I'm a big fan of Chris Spargo's YouTube. He has a calming presence and a keen interest in sharing the small things and doing the work. He's quintessentially British and I say that in the most complimentary way.
His latest is The BBC's World Cup mic is weird - an exploration of understanding why the announcer at the World Cup uses such a funny looking mic. The basic answer is clear to everyone - it blocks out background noise - but Spargo explores that answer in an entertaining 8minutes and 40 seconds.
