Episode 5 - World Cup Special

Published: Sept. 19, 2018, 2:41 p.m.

There’s no denying that the World Cup in Russia was a huge success with sensational football and ecstatic crowds. But radio was also a winner - with many discovering that you could hear a goal on the radio before it reached TV sets. Relaying the excitement of a World Cup match is the job of a talented group of individuals - all hanging on every single move a player makes on the pitch. In this podcast we hear from the two finalists - France and Croatia - with representatives from Radio France, RMC and HRT. We also meet one Russian journalist who found herself watching her home team in the company of BBC presenters in their Red Square studio.
