Reports from Arbroath

There are good sport stories and then there are good stories behind sport and it’s the latter which are revealed and explored in Reports from Arbroath, a new series of exclusive in-depth interviews with leading figures from the worlds of cricket and football. To a generation of West Midlands newspaper and social media devotees, the term Reports from Arbroath signified that something interesting was on the way. It could be anything - breaking news, strong opinion, honest analysis or quirky historical fact - but if it was reported from Arbroath it was worth a look. Now Brian Halford, the architect of Reports from Arbroath, transfers the concept into a series of podcasts, in association with his friend and colleague Sean Miller from Orion Creative Services. A highly-respected sports journalist for more than 30 years, Brian trawls his extensive contacts book and speaks to some of the most articulate and entertaining sportspeople there. The result is a series of interviews which are informal and informative, funny and fascinating, honest and heartwarming.
