Our guest is Matthew Caldwell, whose Instagram feed @1_Shilling chronicles the wonderful world of the football matchday programme.

Join us as we discuss the history of the matchday programme all the way through its evolution as its design provides cultural insight into the changing times.

We also look at the uncertain future of the matchday programme and what publishers of matchday programmes need to do to resonate with modern audiences.

It’s a fascinating episode and I hope you’ll enjoy listening to it as much as I did recording it.
