Roy Big‑Castle (Part 2)

Available for over a year

Part 2 of The Socially Distant Sports Bar, with Elis James, Mike Bubbins and Steff Garrero. The discussion is driven by a documentary exploring football in Senegal, made by a former professional footballer turned filmmaker, offering an insider’s perspective on the structure, passion and challenges of the game in a different football culture. This is paired with a book choice — Gunslinger by Jeff Pearlman — which examines the life and career of NFL quarterback Brett Favre. It’s a portrait of a hugely talented but deeply flawed sporting figure, prompting discussion about legacy, personality and how sporting greatness is remembered. As ever, the conversation moves beyond the material itself, exploring the wider stories and ideas that emerge from it.
