SPORT: How We Feel As Gay Men Watching Football in 2020

Mason and Connor from the South Coast of England present a series called Balls: The Podcast, celebrating and discussing (mostly) UK football through an LGBTQ+ lens. In this takeover episode they explore their own experiences at all levels of the game, take us to a recent lower league FA cup game and catch up with some people and organisations who have and continue to push for an equal football watching experience for all, at a time when sadly the newspaper headlines still ring with stories of homophobic abuse around the beautiful game.

This episode was presented by Connor Moseley and Mason Jordan Produced by Paul Carlin, Ally McCrae & Ross Semple Senior Producers are Kirsty Drain & Paul McFadyen Exec Producer is Anthony Browne
