The England Pod: A Deep Dive into England’s Football Journey

After its initial run during Euro 2024, The England Pod has officially returned as a full-time project, launching on March 10. Hosted by George Elek and Ali Maxwell, the creators of Not The Top 20 Pod, alongside David Walker from Football Clichés, this podcast provides a compelling mix of analysis, humor, and passionate debate focused on England’s football teams.

What Listeners Can Expect from The England Pod

Expert Insights: In-depth analysis of England’s men’s and women’s teams.
Engaging Discussions: Lively debates and humorous takes on England’s football fortunes.
Comprehensive Coverage: Focus on major tournaments, including UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Ali Maxwell reflected on the podcast’s journey, stating:

“The England Pod’s journey started with the highs and heartbreaks of Euro 2024. Now, with the Lionesses preparing for the Euros in Switzerland and Thomas Tuchel leading the men’s squad into the World Cup, this is the perfect time to relaunch our dedicated coverage.”

A Must-Listen for England Fans

Stefan Doyle, Head of Sport Social Podcast Network, expressed excitement about The England Pod joining the network:

“England’s road to the 2026 World Cup is just beginning, and this podcast will be an essential companion for fans. We’re excited to see its impact, especially with the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 coverage.”

The Winter View: Henry Winter Brings Authority to Football Podcasting

Launched in February 2025, The Winter View is a groundbreaking football podcast hosted by one of the most respected journalists in the sport, Henry Winter. With a career spanning decades, Winter’s voice adds unparalleled depth and authority to football discussions.

Why The Winter View Stands Out

Daily Analysis: Breaking down the biggest football stories every weekday afternoon.
Exclusive Interviews: Featuring in-depth conversations with football’s most influential figures through ‘Winterviews.’
Expert Commentary: Winter brings vast experience, having covered nine World Cups, 25+ Champions League finals, and over 4,000 matches.

Henry Winter shared his excitement about the new venture:

“It’s like signing for an ambitious team brimming with energy and ideas. The Winter View will bring a measured, experienced eye to the fast-moving football world, delivering immediacy with perspective.”

A Game-Changer in Football Media

Stefan Doyle highlighted Winter’s impact on the network:

“Henry Winter is one of the most influential football voices in the UK. His reputation and insight make The Winter View a must-listen for any football fan. This show perfectly aligns with the growing demand for concise yet insightful audio content.”
