Lost Boyos: A Football Travel Podcast

This week we were joined by Alex Daniel — an ardent, home-and-away Southampton fan and the creator of the photography-zine Up the Saints. We chatted about his life as a Saints fan, his love for Rickie Lambert and his photography work, capturing matchday through a lens . Plus, we talked about Southampton being one a slightly unheralded, great 'pub city'.

Old friend of Lost Boyos Sami Faizullah joined us to chat about how he has morphed into a groundhopper since moving to the UK from Bangalore a few years ago. We dived into some of his favourite Football League (and non-league) from his travels so far, as well as discussing some of his experiences watching football across Europe (and Morocco). Plus, whilst talking about Sami's old football website, Outside of the Boot, we reminisced about the 2010s glory years of football blogging.

This week, we head to the apparent sunniest city in Scotland to dive into the fun of Dundee United. We are joined by Arabs fan Paul Henehan to discuss his life following the club - from the legendary European nights at Tannadice to the ‘City of Discovery’s’ unique football culture. Paul shares his memories of the iconic Shed terrace, the great team under the ‘Tyrant of Tannadice’ Jim Mclean, and the peculiar geography of having rivals Dundee FC just 200 yards away on the same street. Plus, we find out why the fans are called Arabs and how the club's name became a bizarre insult in Nigeria.

This week on Lost Boyos, we’re joined by our first ever guest who lives life between the sticks. Dani Strindholm is a professional goalkeeper currently playing for Swedish side Varbergs BoIS, having previously featured for Örebro in Sweden and Arendal in Norway. Dani has represented Sweden at U19 level and has been part of the U21 setup, but his football story starts even earlier — coming through the system at Málaga CF, a club he grew up supporting long before pulling on the gloves. We chat about goalkeeping life, the Scandinavian football scene, international call-ups, and what it’s really like progressing through the game as a young keeper.

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.
