Join historian Greg Jenner for a funny and fascinating journey through the History of Football. A laugh-out-loud episode of Dead Funny History, the family podcast that brings the past back to life.From medieval madness to the modern game Football might be the world's favourite sport today, but its early days were anything but beautiful. Greg takes us back to medieval Britain, when football was a chaotic town-wide scramble played on Pancake Day, complete with hundreds of players, broken windows and absolutely no referee in sight.Kings, chaos … and the rules of the game We meet monks who first wrote about the sport and kings who tried (and failed) to ban it. Then, in the 1800s, posh public-school students invented their own versions, and their many arguments eventually gave us both football and rugby.Enter the gloriously named Ebenezer Cobb Morley, the man who helped create the Football Association and the rulebook that changed the game forever.The women who made football their own Greg also features the brilliant women who played, led and loved football long before it was accepted. There's Nettie Honeyball, who founded the British Ladies' Football Club, and Lily Parr, the teenage superstar striker of the Dick, Kerr Ladies, famous for her unstoppable shot and trailblazing spirit.Even when the FA banned women's matches in 1921, these pioneers kept playing, paving the way for today's Lionesses.History meets hilarity With jokes, sketches and sound effects galore, from “Vatican VAR” to medieval mob matches, Greg Jenner and the Dead Funny History team bring the story of football roaring to life. It's packed with fun facts, silly moments and quick-fire quizzes that make learning irresistible for children, families and football fans alike.The perfect family listen If you've ever wondered how football began, why kings banned it, or how women's teams made sporting history, this episode delivers a clever mix of comedy and education. Funny, factual and full of heart, Dead Funny History: The History of Football is history with extra time and plenty of laughs.Host: Greg Jenner Writers: Jack Bernhardt, Gabby Hutchinson Crouch and Dr Emma Nagouse Performers: Mali Ann Rees and John Luke-Roberts Producer: Dr Emma Nagouse Associate Producer: Gabby Hutchinson Crouch Audio Producer: Emma Weatherill Script Consultant: Professor Jean Williams Production Coordinator: Liz Tuohy Production Manager: Jo Kyle Studio Managers: Keith Graham and Andrew Garratt Sound Designer: Peregrine AndrewsA BBC Studios Production

Send us a textIn this inspiring episode of the SheClicks Women in Photography Podcast, host Angela Nicholson speaks with photographer and director Madeleine Penfold about her powerful journey into the world of photography and how she uses her craft to drive representation and social change.Mads reflects on growing up without seeing herself reflected in the media and how that experience shaped her desire to create the kinds of images she longed for as a child. From her early years as a self-described tomboy in Manchester to discovering her identity and building confidence through university, Mads opens up about how photography became her voice.Although she studied business at university, Mads always had a camera in hand and a deep curiosity for people. She shares how teaching photography at a summer camp in the US helped her realise the impact of visual media on self-worth and led her to make a lasting promise—to only create images that matter.Angela and Mads explore how she broke into sports photography almost by chance, and how working with top footballers became a stepping stone to championing representation in the women's game. From photographing Premier League players to advocating for proper visibility of women athletes, Mads discusses the power of storytelling, intuition on set, and the importance of building trust with her subjects.Whether she's on set with the Lionesses or documenting change in Gambia, Mads brings a deeply human approach to her work. This conversation is full of wisdom, warmth and practical insights for any photographer wanting to make an impact through visual storytelling.Follow Madeleine's journey as she creates the world she needed to see - and helps others see themselves in it too.TakeawaysYour personal story can become your creative purpose – Let your own experiences guide the kind of work you want to create.Photography can be a tool for social change – Use your work to challenge stereotypes and increase representation.Success isn't linear – A squiggly career path can still lead you exactly where you're meant to be.Trust is everything when photographing people – Building rapport and respect makes all the difference.Inclusivity starts behind the scenes – A diverse creative team leads to better, more authentic storytelling.You don't need formal training to succeed – Passion, practice, and persistence are just as valuable as a degree.Connect with MadsWebsiteInstagramSupport the show

“When I first walked into the FA, I felt completely out of place - like an alien at someone else's party. The culture was so unfamiliar that I doubted whether I belonged at all. But by finding allies and quietly building a team who believed in change, I realised I could make an impact.”Baroness Sue Campbell is one of the most influential leaders in British sport, a woman whose entire career has been driven by a single mission: to use sport to change lives. Recorded live at the Leaders in Sport 2025 Summit, this conversation revisits her extraordinary impact at the FA, her pivotal role in the Lionesses' Euro 2022 triumph and her new chapter chairing England Netball.She talks openly about resilience rooted in moral purpose and the power of authentic leadership. We explore how staying focused on her mission, and not personal ego, has carried her through moments of doubt, sexism and deep personal challenge.Sue speaks movingly about the Lionesses' journey, working with Sarina Wiegman and the unforgettable night at Wembley when years of pressure and self-doubt melted into joy. But she also warns of the current “illusion” of success in women's sport, urging urgent investment in the ‘missing middle' - the semi-professional pathways that must be strengthened if young women are truly to build sustainable careers in sport.Now leading England Netball, Sue shares her passion for growing the sport's profile and protecting the unique culture that makes women's sport so special - community, safety, authenticity and connection.Her message for future leaders is clear and compelling: stay authentic, find your purpose, learn relentlessly and never underestimate the power of one determined individual to change the world.Thank you to Sport England who support The Game Changers Podcast with a National Lottery award.Find out more about The Game Changers podcast here: https://www.fearlesswomen.co.uk/thegamechangersHosted by Sue AnstissProduced by Sam Walker, What Goes On MediaA Fearless Women production
