Adam Leventhal: illegal streaming and other sports media adventures

The Athletic senior writer and broadcaster Adam Leventhal talks through his latest documentary podcast: The Underground World of Illegal Streaming.

He explains how the project came together, explores what he learned about the market for pirated football content and fans’ attitudes towards it, and considers whether the financial threat it poses to the sport could inspire a radical solution.

And he also reflects on his own varied sports media career, from getting started as a teenager at London radio station Capital Gold to a long stint on screen at Sky Sports News.

Outlines is a 26 Forty original and is presented, produced and edited by Eoin Connolly.
