A brand new podcast is kicking off with a bang as broadcasters Jonny Owen and Mark Webster team up to launch If You Know Your History - a fresh and fascinating take on football’s place in our culture, brought to you by award-winning producers North One.
This isn't your average football pod. If You Know Your History blends the beautiful game with the untold tales that have shaped it, linking legendary goals to global events, iconic players to cultural revolutions, and unforgettable moments to the world around them. From the political backdrops to the pop hits of the terraces, Jonny and Mark bring football’s past to life with deep dives, smart chat, and a few surprises along the way.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just love a good story, this podcast is packed with revelations, nostalgia, and an infectious passion for the game.
The first three episodes are available now and feature:
- A two-part special on the Manchester-Liverpool rivalry - uncovering how industrial history, working-class pride and music shaped one of football’s fiercest rivalries.
- A deep dive into the early years of Johan Cruyff - revealing how a skinny kid from Amsterdam changed the game forever and became football’s David Bowie.
Football is more than just what happens on the pitch - it reflects who we are. This podcast is about the stories that connect us, through football, history and culture. And it’s been a joy to do it with Webbo.
