Spreading the Word: Football Portugal Podcast

I’ve always been eager to know what’s happening in every corner of the world of football. As a kid that meant religiously buying World Soccer each month where the knowledge of writers like Brian Glanville and Gavin Hamilton used to fascinate me.

The internet eventually became the main source of information and it was much more timely: you got to know what was happening by the end of the weekend rather than the following month.

Yet it is still difficult to get any in-depth insight into what’s happening anywhere apart from the major leagues. The BBC’s World Football phone-in is good but its’ is a scattergun approach.
So you have to look deeper if you want to know more and occasionally you come across something really worthwhile.

The Football Portugal Podcast falls straight into that category. Set up by two expats, this weekly hsow talks about every aspect of Portuguese football. Neither one of these presenters projects himself as an expert yet they both know enough to make the show both entertaining and informative.
