Like a team with an evolving and revolving roster that comes together for international friendlies, the BGs (The Beautiful Game Basel Group) are a loose affiliation of scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds who assemble to investigate the relationship between beauty and soccer. Beginning with the Beautiful Game conference at Basel in July 2016, then subsequent workshops and conferences in Wake Forest, Dortmund, and Dublin, as well as the publication of the edited collection, The Aesthetics, Poetics, and Rhetoric of Soccer, David Kilpatrick moderates a discussion with Ridvan Askin, Aline Bieri, Catherine Diedrich, Adam Kadlac, Michael O’Hara, Cyprian Piskurek, and Connell Vaughan on the birth, growth, and future of the BGs.

Thousands of students will be starting university for the first time in the next few weeks. But, for many the transition from school and college to university will be fraught with worry.
These worries initially surround how to make first impressions with new friends and tutors in a strange new world sometimes hundreds of miles away from home but they also encompass how to build productive, respectful and meaningful relationships with these people. Also, how do you use email and online communication effectively and respectively?
But, there are other concerns that new students worry about: how do you get a balance between work and enjoying what should be a hugely transformative period of your life? How should you behave on social media, how should you project yourself and how can you use social media as part of your studies?
And, on a day-to-day basis, the challenges can be huge. For example, how do you approach beginning to read academic texts and integrate them into your research journey? How do you plan and complete assessments? And, the six million dollar question: how can this work be integrated into getting work experience and placements and starting your transition into the job you really want.
In this podcast Dr Joel Rookwood, course leader in Sport Business Management at the University of Central Lancashire speaks to fellow Football Collective members Dr Alex Culvin (University of Salford), PhD researcher Connor Penfold (Ulster University), Professor Peter Millward (Liverpool John Moores University), Dr Dan Parnell (University of Liverpool) and Dr Paddy Hoey (Edge Hill University) about how to start university and how students might negotiate their way through their time in academia. -

To celebrate the 4th of July, Professor David Kilpatrick brings together a panel of experts to discuss the state of soccer in the USA today. David, who is a very active member of the Collective, has brought together academics, authors and football industry professionals to do a SWOT analysis on where the beautiful game finds itself stateside - as he says, this their 2020 vision.
Joining David for a fascinating discussion are:
Journalist and author Bo Dure of USA Today, ESPN, the Guardian and many other outlets and the author of a number of brilliant books including 'Why the U.S. Men Will Never Win the World Cup: A Historical and Cultural Reality Check' available at all good books shops.
Dr Tom McCabe of Rutgers University Newark is the joint producer of the really remarkable documentary 'Soccertown USA', a study of the football culture of Kearny, New Jersey. You can watch the documentary on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=havPy5C2XIU
Maggie Ntim, a football agent and owner of the agency Trinity 3 who has worked in a number of different capacities in both the entertainment and professional sports industries in a marketing and management capacities.
Dr Zac Smith of Penn State Harrisburg is interested in the ethnography of sport and religion, and has also written about supporter ownership in the USA. He supports Grand Rapids FC and is also, for his sins, a Leeds United fan.

Dr Jonathan Ervine of Bangor University has written highly acclaimed books about French film and French comedy. He is also a stalwart member of The Football Collective and is a keen observer of football culture in France. In this podcast he talks about the origins of professional football in France and Paris, the perennial Parisian underdogs Red Star FC, the influence of Paris St Germain on the French game, Zinedine Zidane and the continuing significance of the 1998 World Cup winning side on the nation. It's a brilliant show with which to wrap up the second series of The Football Collective Podcast. Many thanks to all our loyal listeners and we will be back towards the end of the summer with Series 3. Merci bien et Allez les Bleus!

The University of Liverpool's Kieran Maguire produced a book earlier this year which blew open the doors of the previously hidden world of football finance. 'The Price of Football' has become such a phenomenon that it has been reprinted twice with all the profits from the last reprint going to the food bank charity the Trussell Trust. Kieran, along with legendary stand-up comic and TV presenter Kevin Day, have also turned it into an unlikely podcast success story with tens of thousands of downloads every week. So why did a book and podcast produced by a middle-aged chartered accountant with a love of spreadsheets and annual reports become an overnight success? Kieran explains its success, why football fans have become so interested in finance, money laundering, and why he is the 'sand in the vaseline' of the football authorities.

In the week of the 53rd anniversary of Celtic becoming the first British side to win the European Cup, Dr Joe Bradley of the University of Stirling and Dr John Kelly of the University of Edinburgh discuss the continuing political and social significance of the Lisbon Lions. Joe and John recently published an article on this subject in Soccer & Society which is published here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14660970.2019.1680502.

Dr Lee McGowan of the University of the Sunshine Coast in Australia makes a welcome return to the podcast for his 10 x 10 discussion of Robin Jenkins's wonderful football novel 'The Thistle and the Grail'.
The 10 x 10 series started off asking for 10 football scholars to speak for 10 minutes each on their favourite football books and it has grown wings. This episode is unmissable.
Lee, whose monograph 'Football in Fiction' is published by the Football Collective's own Routledge series, is the world's leading expert in the evocation of the beautiful game in literature.
This podcast sees Lee persuasively argue that 'The Thistle and the Grail' should be seen as one of the great Scottish novels of the 20th Century and that football fiction should be seen as a means of exploring deeper social issues.
WARNING: Two Celtic fans make the mistake of agreeing that Kenny Dalglish played for Cambuslang Juniors. It was actually Cumbernauld United. Shame on us. -
Professor Paul Whitty has been capturing the sounds of amateur and grassroots football for many years. He records the sound of lines being drawn on pitches, goalies kicking mud off their boots on goal posts and the incandescent rants of outraged touchline supporters. Interspersed with the pings of balls against posts and shouts of "MAN ON!!", he captures the sounds of birds and traffic that surround football on parks and recreation grounds. It's a terrific way to spend half and hour.
