The42 Podcasts

We have reached our 75th episode, so this arbitrarily significant milestone gives us a chance to pause for breath and reflect on some of the highlights of the year so far. So, listen as Simon Kuper explains the influence of Eamon Dunphy and details what a night out with an elite footballer is really like nowadays; Stephen Jones defends himself from our listeners’ charge that he is “anti-Irish”; and ESPN’s Wright Thompson reveals why Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan have fallen out. Plus, Marcela Mora y Araujo tells an extraordinary tale of how the victims of the military junta were treated during the 1978 World Cup , and Michael Calvin reflects on the profoundly moving experience of co-writing Gareth Thomas’ autobiography.
