Hello, this is Daryl. Thank you for listening to The Total Soccer Show. If you're looking for some Bundesliga review, go back an episode. Taylor and I go deep on Dortmund versus Shalker. I won't say what the score is, but let's say we analyse every single one of those goals.

The episode you're about to hear is an interview with Grant Waugh,

in which Grant talks about his time at Sports Illustrated and what he's going to do next.

Should say, full disclosure, and you may already know this,

what Grant is going to do next is launch a podcast,

Football with Grant Wall,

and Taylor and I are involved with producing that podcast.

So yes, there's a bit of self-promotion going on here

because we're very excited about the launch of football with Grant Wall,

not least because the profile of guests that Grant has lined up for the show,

it's something special. It is something

special. And what we would love is if you would now go find it in iTunes or Spotify or Overcast or

wherever you get your podcasts and please subscribe to football with Grant Wall. I will put a link in the

show notes to make it easy for you to do that.

But what you're about to hear is also genuinely a really good conversation.

Grant talks about his time at Sports Illustrated, his early days how he got a start,

the advice he gives and would give to young journalists, how the Beckham experiment changed his career. How he goes about booking high-profile guests, which honestly surprised me.

Apparently, if you want to get Mosella, going through Liverpool Football Club is not the best way to go, it turns out.

So I hope you'll support our new project by subscribing to Football with Grant Wall, but I also hope you enjoy this interview.

Before we get to it, I want to let you know about today's sponsor
