Island podcaster secures interview with Gary Lineker in "biggest episode yet"
An Isle of Wight podcaster secured his "biggest episode yet" by interviewing Gary Lineker. Josh Barry of Beyond the Title, who is also a County Press columnist, was thrilled to secure a rare interview with the football pundit. Listen to it by scrolling down to the YouTube video. Josh said: "One of the most recognisable and respected faces on British television, former Leicester, Tottenham and Everton striker Gary Lineker has been the BBC's main football anchor for over a quarter of a century. "I caught up with this bonafide British sporting legend to talk heroes, coverage and his recollections on an unprecedented career in broadcasting." Lineker discusses local football and the impact on towns and cities, as well as his career and the impact of football on the world today, bringing together friends and communities. Josh has cerebral palsy and writes using his nose. He has two live shows coming up at Ventnor Fringe, featuring TV legend Johnny Ball, and TV and film expert Dick Fiddy.
