Halcyon Podcast Special: We Lose Every Week
It's another Halcyon podcast mini-series and in this one, we're focusing on the brilliant We Lose Every Week by Andrew Lawn. We Lose Every Week is a history of football chanting, from its beginnings in the late nineteenth century to its growth across the game and its effect on the people, clubs and societies in which it takes place. In this episode, Andy reads from the introduction of the book itself; we've got another couple of extracts hot on its heels and also a brilliant chinwag between ...

Halcyon Podcast Special: (Re-) Introducing Soul
Welcome back to the Halcyon podcast and more specifically to another exclusive mini-series in which we're (re-)introducing the magnificent 'Soul: Beyond the Athlete' by Jonathan Harding. Soul investigates how much football cares about developing the person as much as the player, and (spoiler alert!) how much more there is to do to address the real cost of being in football and the unhealthy playing field that currently exists. In this short introduction Rob does some blethering and then Jon...

The Halcyon Podcast: Pat Nevin
Ad and Rob are joined by polymath, brilliant footballer, writer and broadcaster Pat Nevin for a thoroughly enjoyable chat for which we had loads of questions written down, but ultimately asked none of them (that's a good thing, honest). We talk to Pat about the latter part of his football career, most notably his time as a player AND Chief Executive at Motherwell. There's a lovely meander into the fate (and slow resurgence) of 'proper #10s' in British football, books, Ted Lasso and of course...

The Halcyon Podcast: Don McRae
Joining Rob and Adam on this episode of the Halcyon Podcast is two-time William Hill Sports Book of the Year and THREE-time Sports Interviewer of the Year Don McRae, who very kindly put up with us/being on the other side of the mic for a little while. Don talks to us about his upbringing and routes into football and boxing growing up in South Africa, his move to London to 'be a writer', whatever that meant, and his early years in the industry. We also get an amazing insight into the develo...

The Halcyon Podcast: Jon Champion
Rob and Adam sit down with commentating legend (and the gaming purists' favourite) Jon Champion for a hugely enjoyable and engaging chat, covering everything from escaping the orchestra to be with York City, to the 2026 World Cup, and a lot of stuff in between. Jon tells us about his unlikely journey into the commentary box and we discuss the life and times of a commentator alongside other diversions into TV rights, working (or not) for Sky and hot-sauce-sponsored red cards. Thanks so much ...

Sort Your Head Out - Sam Delaney Special
Rob and Adam are joined by podcaster, writer and author Sam Delaney for a comprehensive journey through football fandom past, present and future (albeit not necessarily in that order). We discuss Sam's lifetime of supporting West Ham, the fan experience or otherwise at London Stadium and our favourite topic, 'legacy fans'. Sam also talks to us about his illustrious writing career and his new book, the superb and affecting Sort Your Head Out: Mental Health Without All the Bollocks, which is ...

Reffing Hell Special: Interview with Ian Plenderleith
Ad and Rob are joined by football writer and author Ian Plenderleith to kick off a special series of podcast episodes inspired by Ian's latest book, Reffing Hell. As well as this interview, we're posting a series of exclusive audio chapters from Reffing Hell, in which Ian documents the (occasional) highs and (very much more frequent) lows of being a referee in amateur football. The interview, the podcasts and the book are vital listening and reading for anyone involved with the game, and mat...
