How Are They Now? Season 1 Reunion with 7 Visiting Professors of Football (song links in the shownotes)

The Assistant Professor of Football: Soccer, Culture, History.

NEW: send me a text message! (I'd love to hear your thoughts - texts get to me anonymously, without charge or signup)

Today's Season 1 wrap-up is a tour of Europe in 1 hour. Some listeners contacted me with the same great idea: check in with a lot of the visiting professors from season 1 again, and have them tell us briefly how they are now, and how things went. So I called all those with whom I talked a while ago about a club, a country, an ongoing situation, to look back at the season that was, the stories, the joys and the problems of soccer that were. Somewhere toward the end I’ll also say who the top 3 downloaded episodes of the season were, so hang tight. All the guests for today are, in the order that they appeared here:

Matt Ford, for United We Stand on Manchester United

Katerina Chernii, center for Contemporary Historical Research, Potsdam Germany on Ukraine

Eva Lotta Bohle, Germany 2nd Bundesliga Podcast on Arminia Bielefeld

Viktor Asp from Football Stockholm on the three Stockholm teams

Andy Payne, Hammers United

Claus Melchior, 1860 Munich

Christian Hummer, Tivoli12 on Wacker Innsbruck and, by implication, Los Angeles FC

Most of them also bright a song, so you will also hear these interesting soccer songs today:
Marc Antoine Charpentier - Te Deum (Prelude)

Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored

Gogol Bordello - Києве Мій (Kyiv My Dear)
Ed Sheeran - A Beautiful Game

Dinamo Ja Volin
Cross Wires - Drowning

Lustfinger - Löwenmut (live at 1860)

Die Toten Hosen - Steh' Auf Wenn Du am Boden Bist
Barrio Collete - Souris Chérie

If you enjoy this podcast and think that what I do fills a gap in soccer coverage that others would be interested in as well, please

• Recommend The Assistant Professor of Football. Spreading the word, through word of mouth, truly does help.
• Leave some rating stars at the podcast platform of your choice. There are so many sports podcasts out there, and only ratings make this project visible; only then can people who look for a different kind of take on European soccer actually find me.
