Football Icon Enters Podcasting with Weekly Interview Series
England football legend Beth Mead MBE has officially launched The Beth Mead Show, marking her entry into the podcasting world with a format that promises to showcase her trademark warmth and candor beyond the football pitch.
The weekly podcast, produced by The Club Media Group, features Mead hosting intimate conversations with guests from across entertainment, sports, and culture. Rather than focusing solely on professional achievements, the show explores the personal journeys, challenges, and moments of resilience that shaped her guests’ paths to success.
Star-Studded Guest Lineup
The debut episode features comedian and TV personality Maisie Adam, setting the tone for a diverse roster of upcoming guests. The initial series includes:
- Podcaster and internet personality GK Barry alongside her partner Ella Rutherford of Portsmouth FC
- Lioness legend and Strictly Come Dancing winner Karen Carney
- TV Presenter Roman Kemp
- Comedian Grace Campbell
- Presenter and DJ Harriet Rose
“I’m so excited to launch The Beth Mead Show,” said Mead. “A podcast is so different to anything I’ve done in my career so far, and I’m looking forward to be on the other side of the interview process – where I can ask those questions I’ve always wanted to, with people I really look up to outside of football.”
Beyond Football Success
Mead brings considerable star power to the podcasting space as one of England’s most celebrated players. Her accolades include being a two-time Women’s Euros winner, Women’s Euros Golden Boot winner, Player of the Tournament, and BBC Sports Personality of the Year, with 79 caps and 39 goals for the Lionesses.
The footballer has already demonstrated success in media ventures beyond the pitch, having authored two bestselling books. Her autobiography “Lioness – My Journey to Glory” became a Sunday Times bestseller and won Autobiography of the Year at the 2023 Sunday Times Sports Book Awards. Her children’s book “ROAR: My Guide to Dreaming Big and Playing the Sport You Love” earned Children’s Sport Book of the Year at the 2024 Sports Book Awards.
Production Partnership
The podcast represents the official launch vehicle for The Club Media Group, a next-generation multimedia studio focused on developing premium original formats and creator-led entertainment brands. The company operates under a VISUAL model encompassing Video, Influencer, Social, User Generated, Audio, and Live content.
“The path to success is rarely linear,” notes the show’s promotional material, reflecting Mead’s approach to exploring the untold stories behind public figures’ achievements.
The Beth Mead Show is available on major podcast platforms with new episodes releasing every Tuesday. The show’s format promises to reveal different sides of both Mead and her guests through conversations filled with curiosity, laughter, and heartfelt moments.
