Lost Boyos: A Football Travel Podcast

When it comes to exploring every single corner of world football, no podcast does it better than The Sweeper. We were delighted to be joined by one of The Sweeper's co-hosts Paul Watson - a well-travelled football man to say the least. In this episode we talked about his coaching stint in Micronesia with Pognpei (and the book that followed, 'Up Pohnpei!'), how Paul ended up being the 'Simon Cowell’ on a Mongoalian football reality show and his love for all things San Marino - plus much, much more.

Blackpool fan and Fylde coast native Nick Bell joined us to talk about football in his local area, especially his beloved tangerine-coloured Seasiders. We talked about the legends of Blackpool FC - from Sir Stanley Matthews to Stephen Dobbie - as well as the disjointed joy of Bloomfield Road. Plus, we chatted about other clubs in the area such as AFC Fylde, Fleetwood Town and the three non-league clubs that sit next door to each other on the edge of Blackpool. Nick hosts the Spanish football podcast El Partido, with a focus on Spanish football nostalgia.
