Footwork Media, a renowned name in the sports media industry, has recently launched a new daily podcast named "First Up: Football". This ten-minute show is set to cover major news from the world of football. The podcast is designed to cater to sports fans and sports betting enthusiasts who crave regular updates on their favourite sport.
"First Up: Football" will be hosted by Sammy James, who also presents another popular Footwork podcast called "Men In Blazers: Early Kick Off". The new show promises to bring daily updates from various football leagues around the world. Whether you are a fan of Premier League, Champions League or any other major European leagues, this podcast has got you covered.
The show will also highlight key international stories that are shaping the global football landscape. It aims at keeping its listeners updated with all significant happenings in the world of football.
Sammy James, Host, said:
“We’re so delighted to be back making a daily football podcast. We loved the audience that we cultivated on Early Kick Off and we were hugely grateful for the hundreds of messages we received when that show ended.
“We hope that First Up: Football can build up a similar community of football lovers. Currently, there is nothing in the football podcast market that succinctly breaks down all the latest news every morning and we really hope that this show keeps football fans up to speed, even if they are time-poor.”
Availability and release schedule
The podcast will be released overnight in the UK from Monday through Friday. Fans can access an audio version on all major podcast platforms including Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts among others.
For those who prefer visual content over audio-only podcasts, "First Up: Football" will also be fully visualised on YouTube and TikTok as well as platform X. Moreover, shorter clips from each episode will be released on Instagram for quick consumption.
The first episode was made available starting 11th August and can now be accessed across all mentioned platforms.
Listener support via subscriptions
Footwork Media has funded this exciting project itself but it's not shying away from listener support either. A Substack has been set up where listeners can subscribe to support their favourite show financially.
Subscribers not only get ad-free episodes but they also gain access to an exclusive Telegram group where they can interact with fellow subscribers and discuss recent episodes. Additionally, they will receive a twice-weekly 'write-up' newsletter that will further enhance their football knowledge.
"First Up: Football" is an exciting addition to the world of sports podcasts. It promises to deliver daily updates from the sport around the world in a concise and engaging manner.
