Podcasts by Far Away Fan
A podcast about football fans, and their long distance love for clubs at the other end of the world.
In each episode, we speak to a guest to understand how and why they ended up dedicating themselves to a football club. But most importantly what it has meant to them, and what it has brought to their lives.
