The Rookie in Red and White

About The Rookie in Red and White

What is it that makes us fall in love with a football club? Sos is a lifelong Sydney Swans tragic. Odette is relatively new to the game. Together, they set out to document a unique experiment — Sos's attempt to turn Odette into a die-hard Bloods supporter. Through their podcast, they've explored the rituals, emotions, heartbreaks, heroes and history that transform casual interest into lifelong obsession. Along the way, they've captured something many supporters rarely stop to think about: why football clubs matter so much to the people who love them! - Darcy Smyth Bloodlines Podcast
