Hey there, welcome to Food Ball with Grant Wall.

Thanks so much for joining me.

Our interview guest in today's episode is Mimi Fawaz of the BBC, previewing the Africa

Cup of Nations.

Before we get going, we're about to start a World Cup year and you can sign up for a free

or paid subscription to my newsletter at Grantwall.com.

It has all my writing, including 13 magazine-style stories in our first three months and lots

of free posts as well.

That's Grantwall.com to get my posts in your email inbox.

The second they go out, gift subscriptions are also available.

The best way to support my work is by taking out a paid subscription.

In segment one today, Chris Wittingham and I will look back at our biggest stories of

2021, segment two is our interview, and then Wittingham comes back in segment three with

our predictions for 2022.

Let's bring in Chris.

Thanks for joining me, man.

How are you?

I come armed with sound effects.

We're ready to do some top five lists when you told me the topic I was like, I'm ready

to go.

So fired up looking back on a year in review.

Yeah, let's look at 2021 in reverse here.
