The Halcyon Podcast: Jon Champion

Rob MacDonald, Adam Bushby, Jon Champion

Rob and Adam sit down with commentating legend (and the gaming purists' favourite) Jon Champion for a hugely enjoyable and engaging chat, covering everything from escaping the orchestra to be with York City, to the 2026 World Cup, and a lot of stuff in between.

Jon tells us about his unlikely journey into the commentary box and we discuss the life and times of a commentator alongside other diversions into TV rights, working (or not) for Sky and hot-sauce-sponsored red cards.

Thanks so much to Jon for appearing - this one could have been twice as long! As it is, if you enjoy it and want to automatically get lots of other episodes like this one, please like and subscribe to the podcast. You can even leave us a review if you're feeling generous (or even if you're not).
