Episode notes
Author and returning guest Arthur Webber joins The Jack Murley Sports Show to discuss his powerful new book Jacob’s Transition Goals.
Inspired by his own experiences, the story follows a young person navigating identity, sport and the dream of being their authentic self.
Arthur shares the creative process behind the book and why trans representation in football and sport matters so deeply. We also explore the impact he hopes the story will have on readers, particularly LGBTQ+ young people.
A thoughtful, uplifting and important conversation about storytelling, identity and inclusion in sport – even though Arthur is an Arsenal fan, we don’t hold that against him!
We love having Arthur on the podcast, and this is another cracking conversation with a brilliant returning guest!
