Bad Cal bonus..he gives us his top spots, recommendations and answers all your questions...give it a listen!

Calum Jacobs is a writer, editor and creative practitioner from south London who draws on sociology, history and culture to explore the liminality of Black British life. In 2017, he launched CARICOM Magazine, a print and online platform dedicated to discussing football and broader culture through a Black lens. Jacobs is also a contributor to various sport and culture publications, and has worked on creative projects for agencies and brands. A New Formation is his first book. A New Formation is quite simply one of the most important football books ever written. What we often like to imagine as the history of football has, for the most part, been written entirely through the white male gaze. In this collection of essays A New Formation tells new stories, forgotten stories, undervalued stories, and does so with heart and humanity and humour. It's our game, as narrated by the people who love it. - Jonathan Liew A New Formation is an exploration of the unique role that Black British footballers have played in shaping the beautiful game both on and off the pitch, an inventive and highly original analysis of the intersections between football and wider Black British culture. A New Formation is not a book about football and racism. Jacobs and his co-contributors - including authors Musa Okwonga and Aniefiok Ekpoudom and sports broadcaster Jeanette Kwakye MBE - eschew the standard frameworks of trauma and oppression that are foisted upon Black narratives and seek to move beyond discussions of diversity, identity and representation. Featuring interviews with legendary players such as Ian Wright, Anita Asante and Andy Cole, they draw upon broader social and cultural history to examine Black footballers in contexts larger than themselves. By engaging with these subtler connections between football and Black cultural expression, A New Formation reveals the vibrancy and nuance of contemporary Black life in Britain.

Ashleigh gives us her top spots...shame none of them are within a 50 mile radius.

Ashleigh Kane is the Arts Editor at Large for the cultural phenomenon that is Dazed magazine. Her decade as an art and fashion journalist has put her in the room and in conversations with some of the biggest names in both. We follow her on her journey, listening to Tupac in the suburbs of Australia to chilling with Pharrel in LA (sorta). We also discuss her role as a Creative Consultant...and what that actually means, how she uses art to give back to local communities and what are art red flags. Ashleigh is a long-time friend of the podcast and is someone we have been very excited to chat to, we want to say thank you for giving us her time and we hope you enjoy listening to this podcast as much as we enjoyed recording it.
