Hosted by sports presenter James Palin with his mum, broadcaster and journalist Nadine Dereza. At the heart of the podcast is a unique mother-son dynamic that sets up a natural, compelling debate: James brings a fresh, modern perspective, viewing the sport through a content-rich, generational lens, while Nadine offers a more experienced, grounded viewpoint honed across years of watching and living football.

In this episode of the Football Fan Fanatics Podcast, James and Nadine talk about FIFA’s plans to sell stakes in its competitions to private investors including the World Cup. They also discuss Roberto Mancini’s appointment as Italy’s Head Coach after the Pirlo debacle, as well as assessing the expectations for Alonso’s first season at Chelsea in the Premier League.
