Reviews
I'd love if this pod were to get revived, but unfortunately the feed has been dormant since the 2018 world cup. David Goldblatt is THE authority on where football and politics/social issues collide.
Podcast Addict54 years agoRobbie- Excellent!
For a German fan the 2018 World Cup was a drag. Game of Our Lives brought the joy back!

Germany5 years ago - Right on
This was by far my favorite podcast to listen to during World Cup 2018. The mixture of politics and social commentary, especially given the turmoil our world is in was very welcome. I also appreciated that David's guests were largely people of color and women from all over the world; voices we don't often hear in journalism. Finally, I credit GoOL for introducing me to a superb, politlcally conscious band, Bang Data, who I've been listening to constantly of late.
