The Dynamo Football Book Club is the podcast for football fans who love a good read.
Each week, we dive into books by and about footballers — from autobiographies and biographies to ghostwritten epics and hidden gems. If Vardy’s vodka, Maradona mayhem, or the Cruyff kidnapping are your thing,, we’ve got you covered. We read em, so you don’t have to (although some of em you really ought to).
The episodes are not tied to the match day cycle and can be listened to any time and in any order. Expect a lively chat, deep dives and a good old larf, har har.
🎙️ New episodes every week.
⚽️ Great for fans of football history, sportswriting, player memoirs, and podcast book clubs.
♬ Music by the wonderful Darragh Fenlon.
*formerly the Ademola Bookmen Podcast.
