The Pledgeball Podcast
The Pledgeball podcast is what happens when sport, culture and climate action meet.
Hosted by our CEO Katie Cross and football YouTube royalty Laurence McKenna, each episode welcomes a new guest to explore the intersection of sport and sustainability, from football clubs and players to creators, campaigners and voices from beyond the sporting world. Together, they dig into practical, realistic actions fans and communities can take, from travel and food to fast fashion and the systems around the game we love.
Courtesy of some very special guests, we'll keep you updated on the goings on in the Pledgeball League along the way too. Don't forget, you can help your team by making a pledge at pledgeball.org.
But for now, sit back, relax and listen to these crucial conversations from those who are going above and beyond to Protect Where We Play.
