Podcast Overview
<p>Whistleblowers is football’s most original new podcast - lifting the lid on the parts of the game no one else talks about. Hosted by Gordon Smart, with ex-elite referee Mark Clattenburg and veteran journalist Ian Ladyman, this isn’t another safe roundtable of punditry. It’s football told differently - with insight, authority, and plenty of laughs. From what really goes on in the referee’s room, to how clubs spin crises and who’s pulling the strings behind the scenes - Whistleblowers brings the inside stories only those at the heart of the game can tell. Players have had their say. Now, it’s time to hear from the people who actually know how football works. </p><br><p>Hosts: Gordon Smart, Mark Clattenburg and Ian Ladyman </p><p>Executive Producer: Jamie East </p><p>Producer: Henry Williams </p><p>Researcher: William Colledge </p><p>Booker: Ashley Whitt </p><p>Production Manager: Vittoria Cecchini </p><br><p>A Daily Mail Podcast.
