Great to chair this session last night for what was a great paper given by Arran. Well worth a listen for any football fans/historians, Cold War historians and just anyone with an interest in the politics of sport. It’s available wherever you get your podcasts!!

Thanks again to The Call of Everton for having me to talk about my predictions for today’s game. Should be a great game seeing it’s a six pointer and there’s plenty to play for

Great to record this interview with Dan! Definitely worth a listen if you’re a fan of American collegiate sports or if you just enjoy learning about how politicised sports can be.
