My intention in Latin America in 2022 was to do a deep dive on Argentina in a World Cup year. I screwed that up, got distracted, but found a whole heap of other strange stories instead.

The result: A 10-part documentary podcast series, "Diverted"

Out every Tuesday for free on Spotify, Apple, etc.

Haha, was chatting to @eoinsheahan.bsky.social as recently as Thursday about the air of gloom around the Irish team for years, and how it just needed a spark again… so to then see that, followed by THAT.

Hope everyone is listening to @eoinsheahan.bsky.social ‘s Diverted series. Here’s the link for episode 7 on Peru open.spotify.com/episode/04rE... (I’m in it briefly giving a lowdown of some details of Peru football history, but don’t let that put you off). Usual strong storytelling

@eoinsheahan.bsky.social Just listened to your extraordinary interview with TiTi. You handled that conversation so well, chapeau. A privilege to listen to his story, thank you.

Super series by the way. Love the two aspects to it. 👏👏

From Episode one of "Diverted."

The story of Tejo, the national sport of Colombia. And my reasoned decision as to why I couldn't join the pro ranks.

Podcast has the full story of the sport: open.spotify.com/episode/5zU3...

Kerry jersey for the darts is not like a Kerry jersey at the golf. In this instance, it’s a refined choice.
