Costs me a fortune in books this podcast! As I end up buying them after listening to this brilliant podcast.
Keep up the great work.
Have listened to this pod for quite sometime with some most interesting and enjoyable content. Travel meets football meets history - three of my most favourite interests. But take note it is very South American focused with little on Asia and Australia sadly. But well worth a listen…
I love books on most aspects of world football and have often bought books based on this podcast’s recommendations, a great listen for avid readers of football literature.
Brillant football and social podcast which provides a unique perspective into the history of the game.
I’m really enjoying going through the episodes. Hope more are made.
