    Feb 14 2024

    As football fans, we’re obsessed with what happens on the pitch. But off it, behind closed doors, in offices and boardrooms worldwide, the business of football sees drama of often equal, but usually untold heights. In this new podcast from football creator-turned-club-owner Spencer Owen (Hashtag United), we’ll meet the minds and personalities behind some of the world’s most innovative football clubs, as well as those with inspiring or hair-raising tales of football clubs run right...and sometimes, very wrong!

    Spencer's guest for Episode 6 is Peter McCormack, host of the hugely-popular What Bitcoin Did podcast and, since 2022, owner of Real Bedford FC. Peter talks openly of his ambitious plans for the club and for the town, and how local rivalries threaten to derail them just as they're making progress.
