Podcast Milestone

Latest figures show Marcus' award-winning podcast, Green Jumper, now has listeners in more than 100 countries.

To mark the achievement, Marcus will be sharing exclusive Cloughie stories at the final Lowdham Book Festival in Nottinghamshire on Saturday 20th June, 2026. 

"I've called this event 'Brian Clough - Tales from the Green Jumper' and it promises to have some wonderful Cloughie nostalgia," said Marcus, who interviewed the legendary football manager several times.

"It's fantastic to know the pod now has listeners in over 100 countries - from Belgium to Brazil! The global success of the podcast shows there's still worldwide interest in Cloughie and his achievements all these years later."

The Top 25 countries for downloads include the UK, United States, Ireland, Australia, India, China, Vietnam, Japan and Brazil.

Last year, the podcast was named one of the best football pods in the world in the Sports Podcast Awards and was 'Highly Commended' in the UK Independent Podcast Awards, which recognise shows that are free from corporate ties.

Tickets for the event at Lowdham Book Festival (12.30-1.30pm, Sat 20th June) are available at just £3 from The Bookcase, Main Street, Lowdham; Phone 0115-9663219. Marcus will be signing copies of his books in Lowdham Village Hall during the day.
