Hello and welcome to the twenty-third episode of the Football Media Podcast.

I'm Jon Mackenzie and, across the course of the new season, I'm going to be bringing you a weekly podcast that seeks to open up the often-murky underworld of the football media.

This week, I'm speaking to James Montague – freelance journalist and author.

In the course of our conversation, we talk about his experiences of investigative journalism across the world of football, corruption and intrigue within the beautiful game and slow journalism and its compatibility with football.

We’ll be back next week with another interesting guest from the world of the football media. Before that, though, it’s James Montague, investigative journalism and the seedy side of football.

Enjoy!
