    The podcast is taking a break until January.

    Until then, plenty to keep you occupied with 100 conversations in the back catalogue.

    Thank you for the support this year and those previous.

    See you on the other side.

  • 76. Jenny Simmons
    Nov 26 2024

    Jenny Simmons’ story is one of passion, purpose, and paving the way for meaningful change.


    Whether it's pursuing progress or practicing the transformative power of manifesting, following her vision and creating impact has always been the common thread.


    We discuss her journey from Lancaster to playing college football in the U.S, before landing at Nike where her time on the Jordan brand steered her towards mindset coaching and, ultimately, where we find her today, beginning a new chapter with MANON – a consultancy focused on empowering black and brown women in the football space.


    Enjoy the episode? Grab me a coffee and fuel me for the next one.

  • Editor's note | Next Fixture 12 Nov 2024
    Sep 27 2024

    The football podcast that isn't about football will be back on Tuesday 12 November, 2024. I'm taking a little break to spend some time with my new family and get the boys on some drills and ready for West Ham's academy.


    In the meantime, there's plenty of gold in this resource we've built, most recently with SEASON ZINE founder, Felicia Pennant.


    See you on the other side.

  • 88. Seb White
    Apr 8 2025

    Seb White is a multi-faceted creative and co-founder of MUNDIAL; the magazine that both redefined football culture and reminded you why you loved the game.


    He talks us through the evolution of the mag, from a passion to project with his mates to, checks notes, a full time gig with his mates. One that inspired a new wave of independent football media, not least this platform.


    Through ‘giving it a go’ and unwavering authenticity Seb created a body of work that spoke to countless fans across the world (and annoyed a few too).


    What's next is up for grabs. Whatever it is, he'll do with heart and, if the past 10 years are anything to go by, you'll know about it.


    Enjoy!

  • 80. Gabriel Nava
    Feb 4 2025

    Gabriel Nava is a multi-faceted creative from Riverside, California.


    Growing up playing the game and following Barcelona, it’s little surprise his creative talents have found a home in the game, with both his photographic and graphic design skillset positioning him as a double threat in the landscape.


    Gabe walks us through his early days in the game, why following the creative path is important to him and what he’s prepared to do to stay on it.


    Oh, and how he’s bankrupting himself on T90 archive pieces and car-tow fines.


    Over to Gabe.


    Enjoy!
