Welcome to Intelligence Squared where great minds meet. I'm head of programming Connor Boyle. In today's episode, we're hearing from journalist and author Joey Durso about the themes of his new book, More Than a Shirt, How Football Shirts Explain Global Politics, Money and Power. I spoke to Joey live from Soho Sonic Studios in London to discuss his global journey across five different continents to uncover the colours, crests and sponsors of the world's football shirts and what they tell us about the world we live in.
So without further ado, let's go to the episode. How's your summer been? Have you been watching the Club World Cup? How's it been since the book came out? I I haven't really been watching the Club World Cup at all.
I need a break from it. You know, I've been watching a bit of the women's Euros, I've been I love Test cricket. I know, Club World Cut, no interest, you know. I I I can't I need a break. I need, you know, and and once every two years we have a World Cup and a Euro.
