INCLUDED IN YOUR membership pack with The42 is access to one of our brand-new podcasts, Behind The Lines.
It’s a podcast about sportswriting, and each episode will feature a lengthy chat with one of the best sportswriters working in the English language.
Along with hearing a few stories from their career, we’ve also asked them to bring along and discuss some of their favourite pieces of sportswriting.
(For legal purposes – the idea isn’t solely ripped from Desert Island Discs. Honestly.)
Members will get access to a brand new episode every second Tuesday, but given its Launch Week, there are two full shows landing this week.
To become a member for €5 per month – or just €42 for a full year – just follow this link.
Once you’ve signed up, we will email you with all of the details you need to start listening.
The first is already out – our inaugural episode with Malachy Clerkin of the Irish Times.
It’s a must-listen for anyone interested in writing or journalism, as Malachy gives a kind of masterclass on bringing together a great feature, crafting the perfect intro, and getting to grips with the “insane discipline” of live, on-the-whistle reporting.
If you’re not into those technical details, don’t worry – the podcast is a terrific way of remembering a couple of great moments in Irish sport.
Plus, it’s worth listening to solely to hear what Daniel Timofte named his bar in Romania.
