The Square Bowl podcast.

Welcome to episode one of the Phil Hay Show, our brand new weekly podcast,

the collaboration between the Square Ball and the Athletic.

I'm Dan Moylan.

Sadly, Phil can't be with us this week.

Joking, he's here for the first one, the star of the show, the man with his name in lights.

Phil, welcome.

You've got Steve Morrison instead.

No, not really.

Thank you very much. Thank you for having me.

Delighted to be on board with you guys. The best podcasters in town.

And it's been a long time coming this one, I think.

It has. Well, it took me about 10 years to get on one of your other shows last season.

But we're here. We're ready to go. We are, and with me from the Squareball, Michael Normanson. Hello. And Moscow White, Daniel Chapman.

Hello.

This podcast, one of 11 shows been launched by The Athletic this week.

So if you want to have a look outside the world beyond League United, give them a try.

Amongst those is the Ornstein and Chapman show, where Mark Chapman and David Ornstein are going to delve deep into some of football's biggest stories. And this week, they discuss a possible return to the Premier League for England winger

Jaden Sancho.

And we look forward to them discussing Calvin Phillips inclusion in the England squad

and return to the Premier League in the not too distant future with us.
