The latest podcast from the National Archives at Kew is entitled No (inter)sex please, we’re Olympians. It's a 51 minute long lecture from Dr Louise Chambers on the theme of gender testing in Olympic history, which first commenced in 1936, and in particular on those who are labelled as 'intersex'.
Interesting stuff, available to listen at http://media.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php/no-intersex-please-were-olympians/ or to download for free at iTunes.
