So many interesting stories!
I love this podcast because it dives into the obscure stories connected to the sport that likely wouldn’t be told otherwise. A great reminder that there’s so much more than what takes place on the field.
Wonderful podcast
Inspiring and well researched.
James Parkinson Storytelling + Football= Perfection
Storytelling is one of the most difficult things to do in podcasting. It requires extensive research, careful planning and attention to detail, an immense amount of editing.
James does all of this well, and brings stories of the game we love to life in a way that is still relevant when the next round of fixtures have come and gone.
I've yet to find anything else like it, and it remains a show that jumps to the front of the line when a new episode comes out.
