Tony Pastor: the rest is podcasting

Goalhanger co-founder Tony Pastor explains how the UK’s leading independent podcast production company is taking the medium into new spaces.

He reflects on how media rights deals with DAZN, LaLiga, Netflix and the Premier League have made The Rest Is Football – fronted by fellow Goalhanger co-founder Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards – an ever more visually compelling experience.

And he delves into the strategies behind Goalhanger success stories like The Rest Is Politics, The Rest Is Entertainment, and global smash hit The Rest Is History – a favourite of everyone from Oscars host Conan O’Brien to Disney chief Bob Iger and Canadian prime minister Mark Carney.   

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