"The visualised podcast, which is hosted by Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards, currently releases three episodes a week but will run daily on Netflix throughout the World Cup. The deal marks the streamer's first significant foray into football coverage and an expansion of its podcast portfolio, which is seen as an effort to rival YouTube. Lineker said the deal was a "fantastic opportunity for the three of us to do what we love - talk football every day - but on a truly global stage"."
"Production company Goalhanger said the show would feature "game analysis, special guests, interviews and insights into the world's largest sporting event", which will take place in the US, Canada and Mexico. It will be filmed in a studio in New York, but with reporters dialling in from the England camp and fan zones. Goalhanger was co-founded by Lineker and also makes other podcasts in The Rest Is series which focus on subjects such as politics, history, entertainment and money."
