The Football Shirt Pod - from Cult Kits

We're back for a very special episode of the Football Shirt Pod - as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of one of the great tournaments, Euro 96. We're joined by not one but three guests as we look back at a very special summer of football a quarter of a century ago.

On the eve of the Champions League Final, we're joined by Chelsea podcaster Alex Goldberg, who discusses the Blues' chances of overcoming Man City and explains how, despite living thousands of miles away in Boston, he developed a devotion to the Stamford Bridge club.

The Football Shirt Pod is back for Series 2 - and we're kicking off with a hugely enjoyable chat with This Fan Girl head honcho Amy Drucquer.This Fan Girl started out as a photography project to counter the stereotypical portrayal of female football supporters - and since then, it's grown into a thriving community and celebration of female fandom. Amy's also a massive Leicester City fan - so prepare yourself for a misty-eyed reminiscence of the Foxes unlikely 2016 title triumph.

Episode 12 of the Football Shirt Pod is here - and we're back with a fascinating interview with Simon Clifford, the man who befriended Juninho when he moved to Teeside, introduced futsal to the UK, taught Keira Knightley how to play football, and even got Socrates to turn out for his own non-league football club.

Episode 11 of the Football Shirt Pod is here and we're very glad to have you back. Today's episode is a bit different - we spoke to Jenny Simmons, founder of Manon magazine and a long-time friend of Cult Kits, about where the idea for the project came from.And then we asked her to pick the five football shirts that mean most to her and tell us why they're so special. Think Desert Island Discs but with kits and much, much more interesting. 

Marion Reimers is familiar to millions in Mexico and America as one of the voices of Fox Sports' football coverage. We spoke to her about her love of the game, her passion for football shirts and what it meant to become the first woman to broadcast the Champions League Final.

We're back again for Episode 9 of the Football Shirt Pod and we've got a World Cup winner for you - Craig Buglass is the man who designed the shirt Brazil wore when they lifted the trophy in 2002. He is also the creative genius behind a whole host of other classic jerseys. And he even designed a Sunderland shirt, which, for a Newcastle fan, was not easy.

It's episode 8 and we're talking to Ellis Platten, YouTuber, Leeds United die-hard and football shirt super fan.

For Episode 7 of the Football Shirt Pod, we're joined by Dan Sandison, head of brand at Mundial.  Mundial began as a quarterly magazine in 2014 – initially as a one-off for the World Cup in Brazil - and quickly built its cult following into the UK’s fastest growing football title.  We spoke to Dan shortly before Mundial took the decision to cease printing the magazine and focus instead on digital – including its award-winning podcast. If you want to get in touch, DM us on Twitter or insta - @cultkits – or email mail@cultkits.com – thanks for listening.
