E20: Inside The Athletic

In this week’s podcast, Richard and Sean take Harry The Talented Intern to visit the brand new London HQ of The Athletic, the sports publishing launch that has caught the attention of everyone in the sports media world. They sit down with editor in chief Alex Kay Jelski, one of the main architects of the new service and who was instrumental in the company’s rapid recruitment of some of the best writing talent in British football journalism. Alex was formerly sports editor of The Times and The Daily Mail.
