This episode features Sally Freedman - Author - Fairplay Publishing This episode covers: Sally's debut book "Get Your Tits Out for the Lads" The Football Writers Festival The importance of governing bodies taking accountability And much more! Sally on her book: Sadly throughout my time working in football in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, there were many stories related to sexism, misogyny and gender inequality. I joked on a podcast one day that I probably had enough stories to write a book. I didn't know, but at that time, the publisher of the book was listening and got in touch with me and said; "Sally, if you are going to write a book, please let me publish it." The idea was to launch it before the FIFA Womens World Cup 2023, so I had a year to try and put some thoughts and diary entries down and I made the deadline and even now, when I say I have a published book, I still don't quite believe it. Sally on media coverage: We are playing catch-up. With the rise of Women's sport, not only football, we are finally seeing change. But in my opinion, it's too little, too late. Why did it take England winning a trophy for people to stand up and start reporting on women's Football? That's what I struggle with. When the culture is rotten from the top, it's very, very hard to change. In the UK, female commentators and reporters are part of the furniture now, but that isn't replicated across the world. Sally on change: Governing bodies can do more in terms of accountability and punishment for when sexism is called out. But I make it clear in my book, I don't blame men. We are living in a gendered, stereotyped world where we all have bias and that is hard for anyone to change.

For those already in the industry, it gives a fresh take on some key subject matters and personal stories of challenge and success. This episode features Peter Hutton - Sports board member and advisor This episode covers: Saudi Arabia "Its been a really great experience being part of the development of the Women's League in Saudi. I know the headline stories are about the star names going there, but its the fact that they are building something and its been really cool to see the stadiums full of families, watching women play without headscarves, in a league that's only a year old. It shows just how football can be part of wider change. When I was first asked to get involved, they said they want to be one of the top 5 leagues in the world. When you've heard that from China and the MLS, you are naturally a bit sceptical. But the fact that they ate building academies and the women's game gives me faith that we are doing something quite useful." The changes in sports broadcasting "The media landscape for the last 30 years has been shaped by Pay TV, but the growth of Social Media and streaming is beginning to take that space and I think that change is difficult for the sports industry to cope with, because they are used to the big guaranteed cheques of Pay TV and it was relatively easy money! But social media is not like that. It demands a level of effort and control that a federation or a team or a league is not necessarily used to having. Its a different philosophy to have to make your own content, rather than watching people make content that features you." There was almost an expectation that of course, companies like Facebook/Meta would show sport. But the business model that underpins sport, is one that Social Media don't really need. I think you can make the argument that sport needs Social Media more than Social Media needs sport. The use of VR for audience growth " We want content that makes a viewer feel active and part of what's happening and that's what you learn from gaming. If you watch young gamers, they are doing several things at once and playing with friends. So the opportunity of VR, is that you take all the things you see and do watching a game, and put them into one experience. There's something there about a better way of watching sport.
