This week we get our first look into the Athletic through their senior football writer, Oliver Kay. The Athletic burst onto the scene here in the UK last summer and made quick work of snapping up some of the best sports journalists out there including Oli. Prior to joining the Athletic, he worked at the Times for 19 years, the last ten of them as their chief football correspondent. He's an award-winning author and on top of that, a very humble guy who has some brilliant insight into the industry. We discuss supposed media agendas, the pressure to be an online presence in modern-day journalism and Oli opens up on the day he was approached to join the Athletic. Contact:Twitter: @TNBTpodInstagram: @TNBTpodEmail: [email protected] Podcast music by Craig Medlin:Twitter: @CraigMedlin
