Description
This week’s Football God is QI writer and podcaster Anna Ptaszynski. She’s armed with facts about football, a very worthy contender to damn to hell and a new school curriculum for kids.
Anna is the host of one of the podcast world’s earliest successes - No Such Thing as a Fish - which has had over 400 million listens. She is one of QI’s researchers and she’s also the co-author of Everything to Play For: The QI Book of Sports - a book full of sport's weirdest rules to its most unlikely heroes.
The Football Gods gives famous faces the ultimate footballing role: total power over the beautiful game. Listen as they shape football to their whim and ultimately become The Football Gods. Join our hosts - broadcaster Kate Mason and journalist Tim Spiers - as we ponder the all-important questions such as...“Which player would you send to hell?”, “What flavour pie would be considered the food of the Gods?” and “Which game would you watch forever?”
Given the power, how would you change football?
