Episode notes

Henry Winter is one of the country’s most prolific and experienced sports journalists, who captures the heart and soul of football.

He’s the Chief Football Writer for The Times newspaper and has also written several books on the subject. 

In this final episode of Lobster Brain’s first series, Lisa and Danny hear from Henry about what it’s like to have a ringside seat at the game he loves so much. Henry shares the lessons he’s learnt from meeting other “top lobsters”, and about what it takes to deal with pressure and achieve excellence.

They also discover how Henry approaches his editorial decision making, and how he copes on three to four hours of sleep a night.
