The Neal Talks Football podcast is hosted by Neal Gardner, an avid football fan and Spanish football lover with a deep emphasis on language and culture, and its broader footballing implications. Football is more than results on a scoreboard; it is culture, memory, and meaning. The Neal Talks Football Podcast exists to explore those layers. Each conversation is an attempt to move beyond noise, to sit with the game in all its nuance and complexity. Each episode will play host to voices from across the sport, my aim is not only to analyse football, but to understand what it gives to those who follow it.
