Summary

Meet two culture nerds, Rune and Stefan - one who has always loved football, the other who can't kick a ball - and find out why they're making a podcast together about the world's biggest sporting event. They'll be talking to fans and players about what makes the World Cup unlike anything else, the way it suspends normal life, defines eras, and pulls people together under one flag. And Stefan introduces Rune to Paul the Octopus - the clairvoyant German octopus who correctly predicted eight out of eight matches at the 2010 World Cup, survived death threats from losing nations, and has never truly been replaced.
