Libero
Libero
Podcast Description
This is a podcast about football. But also not about football. Mainly it's about the people and the surfaces that collide in the orbit of this strange, obsessional world of bluffers, sharks and genuine talent. It’s about friendship, trust and families, in a world where no one is actually your friend, there is zero trust and where families devour each other every six months. Hosted on Acast.

Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast delves into complex themes surrounding football, such as the dynamics of friendship and betrayal within football communities, the impact of sportwashing, and the evolution of Premier League clubs. Notable episodes include discussions on Thomas Tuchel's managerial prospects and the concept of Geordie Nation amidst controversy.

A podcast about football, the least important of the most important things, featuring John Brewin, Miguel Delaney, James Horncastle, Tariq Panja, Jack Pitt-Brooke, Rory Smith and Jonathan Wilson.
Every year football’s rich and powerful gather at a West London hotel to do deals, shake hands and talk about the game in a way would be quite unfamiliar to anyone not in the posh seats at 3pm on a Saturday. Several Liberi were in attendance at the recent FT Business of Football Summit, so they found a quiet corridor to discuss what they’d overheard at the conference, as well as the detachment between those who seek to profit from football and the game itself. You’ll hear from Tariq Panja, Rory Smith, Miguel Delaney and James Horncastle. There’s also a fabulous cameo from The Mirror’s John Cross.
