If You Know Your History | 15 April 2021 | FNR Football Nation Radio




FNR Football Nation Radio show

Summary: Without regular co-host Ian Syson alongside him, this week Paul Mavroudis goes into university lecturer mode, and delivers a 15-minute musing on the purpose and effectiveness of the show, the fractured history of Australian soccer, and the sport's lack of a foundational "myth". For the feature interview segment, Paul is joined by Heather Reid and Marion Stell to discuss their new book, "Women in Boots: Football and Feminism in the 1970s". And finally, Paul is joined by producer Josh Parish to chat about the demise of The World Game. From indulgent 6-hour Sunday marathons to the "Wild West" of the old forum, they reminisce and discuss the reasons behind the brand's gradual decline and recent cancellation.
