The One with the Referees

From World Cups to World Series, we revisit some of our top refereeing guests.

Who would be a referee?

If you’ve ever asked yourself that question, you’re in luck – as we’ve assembled some of the very top officials who have joined us on the podcast since 2018 to discuss what it is that motivated them to become one in the first place.

In this trip through the archives, you’ll hear extraordinary stories from individuals who have taken charge of World Cup Finals, World Series games and more – and understand exactly what it is that makes them tick.

From handling the pressure of calling a decision correctly to the influence of social media to their own personal journeys, this is a cracking listen and a brilliant trip down memory lane with some of the very top referees in the world today.
