On this special episode of the show, we talked to author of Up Pohnpei, Paul Watson. ESPN praised Up Pohnpei as a "heartwarming, uplifting antithesis to all that is wrong with the modern game" and this sums up our view of the book as well. In 2009, Paul became the youngest ever international manager when he took up the position on the tiny Pacific island of Pohnpei. We talked about what led him to follow this dream of moving his life thousands of miles across the world, the importance of cultural sensitivity in new footballing environments and what football means to people around the world. It is a truly fascinating story he has to tell and we are delighted to bring it to you.
