A brand new podcast that combines sport and comedy is now available on BBC Sounds and BBC Radio 5 Live. Titled “My Mate’s a Footballer,” this 20-part series features comedian Joe Wilkinson on a quest to befriend a professional footballer. Luckily for him, Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford is willing to put their friendship to the test.

As a lifelong Gillingham supporter, Joe is determined to understand the challenges faced by professional footballers and become a true friend to Pat. In each weekly 30-minute episode, listeners can expect an alternative glimpse into the football world as Joe asks Pat any question that comes to mind. The podcast will feature stories from inside the dressing room of a professional football club, as the hosts get to know each other better.
