The One with John Reavey

Football, film-making and so much more feature in this cracking conversation with John!

Big games deserve the big build 鈥� and that鈥檚 what John Reavey does when it comes to the Premier League.

The director and creative producer is responsible for some of the video packages that you鈥檝e seen hyping a number of the beautiful game鈥檚 massive matches 鈥� including the Manchester Derby and the start of the new season.

It鈥檚 not just there that you鈥檒l have seen his work either 鈥� from a West Ham kit launch to Anita Asante鈥檚 retirement to a documentary on out gay footballers, John has spent years combining his love of film with his love of football.

And when he鈥檚 not capturing the game on screen, he鈥檚 playing as a member of the London Titans side in the GFSN 鈥� and he鈥檚 an absolutely brilliant guest on the podcast today.

There鈥檚 loads in this episode that is absolutely fascinating 鈥� the joy of storytelling, the importance of visibility, combing sport and LGBTQ+ identity, plus how a story from John鈥檚 past inspired both an incredibly powerful short film and the next thing that he鈥檒l be working on.

This is a cracking listen, and we really think you鈥檙e going to love it!
