Hello, Im Craig and welcome to another episode of Football Kit Memories - the football podcast that gets under the shirt.

In today’s episode I'm joined by a huge name in podcasting and politics, Alastair Campbell. 

Beginning his professional life as journalist, Alastair Campbell became more widely known as the chief communication strategist in successive Labour governments during the Tony Blair years. More recently, his podcast The Rest is Politics, which he co-hosts with former Conservative MP Rory Stewart has consistently topped the charts and has made politics more engaging and accessible for a mass audience, including me!

We also cover his latest book ‘But What Can I Do?’ (out May 11th), written to arm the average person with ways and means of making a real difference in the complex and confusing world of politics.

Beyond all this, of course, Alastair is famously a huge Burnley and Scotland fan and we talk about his experience of football through his choice of three very special football shirts.
