We welcome James Montague, author of 1312: Among the Ultras: A Journey With the Most Extreme Fans, back onto the podcast. We discuss his latest book, in which James chronicles his extensive travels around the world in search of ultra culture.
From running battles in Stockholm to escaping machete-armed mobs in Java and meeting the Barra Brava in Buenos Aires, this is a fascinating interview.
If you’re a fan of James’ work, check out our interview with him about football and politics in the Middle East.
