Summary

You'll have heard Daniel Storey speaking on Monday's pod about how he's about to attend his first football match since March 2020. And while many of you will have returned to grounds for the new season or been to a match at Wembley over the summer, but for lots of us, the noise and energy of a full stadium and the build up to the game is a long distant memory.

With that mind, in place of our Euro show this week, here's a special podcast accompanying George Caulkin's amazing piece called This is what football sounds like that recently went up on the Athletic.

It's recorded using a technique called binaural audio – basically, 360 degree sound - and the best way to experience it is to find a quiet place and listen on headphones. Maybe even go for a walk.
