Blethered

Laura is a football media producer and has worked at Celtic Football Club, Copa90.com and Motherwell Football Club, to name just a few. We discuss her career progression and the highlights over the years, from her experiences at Celtic and what it was like to deal with some of the players, to being sent to Paris to cover the World Cup Final of 2018, and most recently, creating much lauded content such as the David Turnbull documentary at Motherwell.Support Blethered on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/BletheredContact: seanmcdonald.podcast@gmail.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/seanmcdonald01  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Broadcasting heavyweight Gordon Smart is back on Blethered and the conversation flows, as always. We discuss the concept of celebrity in modern society and its various consequences, Gordon's early motivations for becoming involved in journalism, his enjoyment in promoting new and young talent across the industry and much, much more - including our experiences of spending the night in foreign jails.

Toby Tarrant joins me for the second time to record another lockdown episode of Blethered. We talk about the new ITV drama ‘Quiz’, which tells the story of the British Army Major who cheated to win the main prize on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, we discuss being hounded by the tabloid press and the wider damage that the phone hacking scandal caused to Toby’s family, and we address the impact of the Coronavirus.There's more chat about childish wind-ups and prank calls, and you’ll hear about the well-meaning but now AWFUL advice that Toby gave to the men of the UK ahead of the now-cancelled European football championships.Support Blethered on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/BletheredContact: seanmcdonald.podcast@gmail.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/seanmcdonald01  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rose Reilly has the best footballing story you’ve never heard, and if you have heard it, you’ll gain even more insight into how a young girl from Ayrshire ended up playing for AC Milan, won the World Cup with Italy, and fought back from the brink of death to go on and be named World Player of the Year. This story is sheer Rose of the Rovers stuff, but how could all that possibly be true? Listen in and you’ll find out from the woman herself.Contact: seanmcdonald.podcast@gmail.comhttps://twitter.com/seanmcdonald01  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
