Through Another Lens

How do you produce a documentary covering an event like the World Cup? What's it like to shoot Messi? What's Modric like as a captain? Why is tuberculosis such an important part of Thiago Silva's journey?

The creators of the Netflix series Captains of the World - the six part docu-series on the 2022 Qatar World Cup - join Shubi to answer some of these questions.

Host & Producer: Shubi Arun

Guests: Gabe Turner, Ben Turner, Christian Cerami

Telegraph journalist Tim Wigmore joins Shubi on the podcast to discuss his book White Hot: The Inside Story of England Cricket's Double World Champions that he co-wrote with Matt Roller.

They discuss why the 2015 World Cup was such a turning point, how English cricketers came to embrace franchise T20 leagues, the parallels to Bazball and why KP would have thrived in this era of English cricket.

Shubi is joined by Rory Dollard of the Press Association to reflect on the incredible first Ashes Test at Edgbaston.  They discuss how Bazball worked but England lost, hindsight’s sizeable role in the post-match discourse and whether the end point for 'entertainers' in sport is glory or glorious failure. Rory also lifts the lid on what it's been like covering this English team over the past year.

George Dobell joins the podcast for an immensely vulnerable chat about the Yorkshire racism scandal and his reporting of it over the last couple of years. He opens about his friendship with Azeem Rafiq, his own personal moment of reckoning while covering the story and why he feels he needs to move on from the case. George also talks about the Michael Vaughan verdict, cancel culture and why he still remains hopeful about English cricket. It's the Azeem Rafiq case, through another lens.
