🚨 Episode Drop! 🚨

Almost two years in, and on our 46th book, we think we’ve found the best one yet. Hold on to your hats, because Joe McGinniss’s The Miracle of Castel di Sangro is coming your way.

Alistair had never even heard of it (he blames the title). But have you? 🤔

Back in 1996, tiny Castel di Sangro — a town of just 5,000 souls tucked away in Abruzzo — pulled off the impossible. Against all odds, their Serie C1 side won promotion to Serie B, making them the smallest club ever to reach that level. That was the miracle. Or at least, the first one.

What followed — on the pitch, in the dressing room, and in Joe McGinniss’s unforgettable book — is a story packed with glory, heartbreak, and a gut punch ending you won’t see coming.

This episode has it all. 🎧 Give it a listen — and if you haven’t already, grab the book. 📚
