It's another Halcyon podcast mini-series and in this one, we're focusing on the brilliant We Lose Every Week by Andrew Lawn. We Lose Every Week is a history of football chanting, from its beginnings in the late nineteenth century to its growth across the game and its effect on the people, clubs and societies in which it takes place.

In this episode, Andy reads from the introduction of the book itself; we've got another couple of extracts hot on its heels and also a brilliant chinwag between Andy and the legendary Adam Hurrey of Football Cliches.

You can get We Lose Every Week at a special price direct from the Halcyon website, or if you're particularly interested in monumental acts of self-sabotage to your own wallet, publishing and the world at large, you can also buy it in other places too. And if you'd like to be criticised about your inherent life choices further, why not follow us on Twitter or whatever it is now @HalcyonPublish1.

An exclusive audio chapter from Soul: Beyond the Athlete, read by Jonathan Harding.

Welcome back to the Halcyon podcast and more specifically to another exclusive mini-series in which we're (re-)introducing the magnificent 'Soul: Beyond the Athlete' by Jonathan Harding.

Soul investigates how much football cares about developing the person as much as the player, and (spoiler alert!) how much more there is to do to address the real cost of being in football and the unhealthy playing field that currently exists.

In this short introduction Rob does some blethering and then Jonathan shares the Prologue. We've also got two exclusive audio chapters, and then an extended conversation between Jonathan and Ryan Hunn of the Stadio podcast about some of the issues around people and performance raised in the book.

Soul is NOW AVAILABLE ON SALE FROM US! Less than a tenner for a little more soul in your life - what's not to love about that.

Special thanks to Ryan and also to Jonathan for all their audio efforts. Don't forget to like and subscribe to the podcast for more features and interviews, and follow us on social media for announcements, new titles and special offers.
