We'll be joined by Paul Doyle, agent to more than a dozen athletes who competed at Grand Slam Track, and The Athletic's Adam Crafton who's been investigating why it fell apart. Plus Gabby and Mark tell stories of Henry Pollock's room mate on the Lions tour, react to Anisimova's comeback after the Wimbledon final disaster, and despair about how much cricket there is, even for cricket fans!

The Premier League season kicks off tomorrow - so we thought we'd convene some of the Match of The Day gang early and welcome Alan Shearer back onto the podcast.

He almost got the Blades promoted again last season but lost in the final minutes of the playoff final before being sacked.

In 1966 England won the World Cup with a 4-2 win against West Germany...they even won it on home soil.With players such as Gascoigne, Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane it remains a mystery as to how they haven't won it again...but they haven't even hosted the tournament again.It may seem strange, but there are reasons as to why. Join Mark and Paul as they chart the history of the World Cup, from its inception to modern day, exploring the politics behind why the England men's team have failed ever again to be the host nation of the most coveted prize in football, and why the FA are now more focussed on winning the competition than staging it.From doomed bids, bribes, conspiracy theories and hatred from other nations, this episode of How It All Played Out peels back the curtain to answer: Why does England never stage the men's World Cup?Remember to follow or subscribe and give us a 5 star review too!We'd love to hear from you!

One hundred years ago, Gabriel Wells, a New York bookseller, committed a crime against history. He broke up the world's greatest book, the Gutenberg Bible, and sold it off in individual pages. In 1921, Wells' audacity scandalized the rare-book world. The Gutenberg was the first substantial book in Europe to have been printed on a printing press. It represented the democratization of knowledge and was the Holy Grail of rare books. In Noble Fragments: The Gripping Story of the Antiquarian Bookseller Who Broke Up a Gutenberg Bible (Scribe, 2024), Michael Visontay describes how Wells's gamble set off a chain of events that changed his family's destiny. Interviewee: Michael Visontay is the Commissioning Editor of The Jewish Independent, and has worked as a journalist and senior editor at The Sydney Morning Herald and The Australian. Host: Schneur Zalman Newfield is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Jewish Studies at Hunter College, City University of New York, and the author of Degrees of Separation: Identity Formation While Leaving Ultra-Orthodox Judaism (Temple University Press).
