Podcast: Groundhopping in South America

I am joined by Chris Hylland, whose new book Tears at La Bombonera is an account of his time groundhopping around South America. We start in Buenos Aires, where Hylland lived for a while, and end up in Brazil, taking in Chile, Bolivia, Peru and Colombia on the way.

This is a great personal account of groundhopping in places many would not have visited. The podcast Chris refers to on the world’s greatest rivalries with Lee Colvin can be heard here.
