The first female NFL podcast host in the UK

Ninety-Nine Yards

It all started in 2018 when I launched the Ninety-Nine Yards podcast, where I’d regularly interview NFL players, sports analysts and more. Interviewing players at this stage wasn’t new to me as it was something I’d been doing since 2016 as part of the ‘day in the life of…’ series.

Gridiron and Wine

May 2019 was when I joined up with Dayna O’Gorman from Our Turf Football, and Shona Duthie from Ninety-Nine Yards to launch a podcast called Gridiron and Wine where the three of us talk all things American Football whilst drinking delicious wine.

NFLGirlUK meets...

Then in December 2019, having loved podcasting for years now, and having wanted to bring back the ‘day in the life of’ interviews, I decided to launch a solo show called NFLGirlUK meets. The aim of the show is to bring fans closer to the game they love. With a new episode released each Friday, I interview NFL legends, players, and personalities on life in the NFL and what makes them tick. Upcoming themes of the podcast will explore life in the NFL including the highs and lows. The series also looks at the careers of those working within NFL organisations and their journey so far.

Current interviews include:

• Cameron Sutton, Cornerback for Pittsburgh Steelers
• Jacob Blangsted-Barnor, Guinness World Record Holder for fastest time to see an NFL game at all stadiums (achieved in 84 days)
• Stephanie Pemberton, Vice President of Marketing at the Indianapolis Colts
• Allison Engelken, Executive Director of Community Development at the Denver Broncos
• Neil Reynolds, presenter for NFL on Sky Sports
• Dean Blandino, Head of Officiating for the XFL
• Plus, interviews coming soon include Jeff Reinebold (Special Teams Co-ordinator for CFL team, Hamilton Tiger-Cats), Ross Tucker (sports broadcaster and former offensive lineman), and Charles Dagnall (Test Match Special commentator, former quarterback, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans).

All podcasts mentioned here are available through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Castbox, Deezer, Google Podcasts, Podcast Addict, Stitcher, Pocket Casts, or of course, search ‘NFLGirlUK meets’ via your preferred podcast provider.
