Press Box Confidential

The Football Writers’ Association and William Hill present ‘Press Box Confidential’.

Paul McCarthy is joined each week by the biggest names in football journalism in the country to discuss the most memorable matches, moments and characters in the game.

Where were they when Eric Cantona kung-fu kicked a Palace fan in the chest? How difficult was Fergie to handle? And what was it like being stuck in the same hotel as Coleen Rooney and the rest of the WAGs during a World Cup Final?

Press Box Confidential gives you the stories behind the stories and those that never made it into print.

Hosted on Megaphone and measured by Nielsen

This podcast may use tracking and attribution and dynamic content insertion

Stats: Statistics are produced by Megaphone to help Press Box Confidential to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Megaphone is IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.

Tracking and attribution: Megaphone and Nielsen or their partners may connect the fact you listened to this podcast to an action elsewhere on the internet. For example - they may spot a device that downloaded an episode of Press Box Confidential later visited the website of an advertiser; or they may track that a device that listened to Press Box Confidential also listened to a different show. This form of attribution is used to measure advertising effectiveness.

Dynamic content insertion: Megaphone may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. Press Box Confidential may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.

Press Box Confidential is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.
