Three of the most recognizable names in English football -- Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards -- are teaming up to co-host a new football podcast. "The Rest is Football" will see the three pundits release new episodes at least twice a week to review the week's matches, debate the biggest topics in the game and answer listeners' questions. The new show launches on Monday, August 7 ahead of the new Premier League season.
The series is being produced by UK independent podcast production company, Goalhanger Podcasts, which was launched by Gary Lineker in January, 2022. Goalhanger Podcasts already makes two popular UK podcasts, "The Rest is Politics" (hosted by Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart) and "The Rest is History" (hosted by Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook).
Lineker said, "Our podcast will be the inside take on football, discussing current topics but also telling tales and gossip from our own careers and the players we've played with and against."
Since its launch last year, Goalhanger Podcasts has seen its shows downloaded more than 17 million times a month.
Goalhanger Podcasts co-founder Jack Davenport said, "We're thrilled to be signing Gary, Alan and Micah up to their own podcast under 'The Rest Is' brand."
