Ali Maxwell, George Elek and David Walker have all travelled across continents to watch England play, and loved covering the team during Euro 2024. The England Pod believes that supporting England should be fun, and this show sets out to make it a reality for the millions of English football fans. Expect passion, humour, and plenty of debates about squad selection. The England Pod will cover the England Mens Senior Team, the Lionesses and the England Under-21s, with match recaps, tournament previews and balanced discussion of key issues. There will also be interviews, retrospectives, and more. If there are Three Lions on the shirt, we want to talk about it.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-17T04:18:24.151881+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-england-pod-7247244"},"episode":{"title":"England face Spain in crunch qualifier & who is Erica Meg Parkinson?","slug":"england-face-spain-in-crunch-qualifier-who-is-erica-meg-parkinson","published_at":"2026-04-11T11:14:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-england-pod-7247244/england-face-spain-in-crunch-qualifier-who-is-erica-meg-parkinson","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-england-pod-7247244","url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/COMG9415231746.mp3?updated=1775906784","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/COMG9415231746.mp3?updated=1775906784","summary":"BBC commentator Robyn Cowen, the Telegraph's women's football reporter Kathryn Batte and David Walker gather to look ahead to big world cup qualifiers for the Lionesses. They take on Spain at Wembley on Tuesday before heading to Iceland on Saturday, with the fitness of captain Leah Williamson and what the defence would look like without her among the main talking points ahead of the crunch ties. We also look at the surprise call-up of 17-year-old Erica Meg Parkinson who plays in Portugal and would be eligible to represent Japan, Singapore or Portugal so will we see her make a cameo appearance just to lock her in as certified Lioness?
