World Cup etc
Forget the final score for a moment. World Cup etc is a podcast that digs into the stories happening off the pitch, in the stands, and in the cities that host the beautiful game's biggest spectacle. This isn't just about analysis of the matches, though you'll get that too from football expert Declan Link. Instead, journalist Jon Bonfiglio guides listeners through the cultural intersections, societal shifts, and personal journeys that orbit the tournament. Each episode uses the World Cup as a lens to examine travel, identity, and global connection, asking what this event reveals about us. You'll hear from a diverse roster of guests who bring perspectives on history, politics, art, and fandom, all connected by the world's game. The conversation in this podcast naturally flows from the passion of sport to its profound impact on places and people, exploring how a single competition can encapsulate collective hopes and shape national narratives. Tune in for thoughtful, human stories that go far beyond the ninety minutes, discovering why the World Cup is about so much more than football.
