“I love this podcast so much! I am not a dedicated football fan, although I love the excitement of the World Cup. I listen to many, many podcasts, and there’s something magical about this one. Nando brings something for everyone.”

“Really missed out on an opportunity to do a second season for the women’s World Cup. Thought it might be a one off for the Men’s World Cup but then a new episode came out”

“It’s rare to find shows good enough to make you truly emphasise with the person in the story, but it’s even more rare to find a show that makes you feel like you are living out an epic moment together with that person right there and then! This podcast makes me feel like I was right there in the...”Read full review »
