The #LetsTalkLoneliness podcast heads to Northampton, meeting Bob and Michael who have become firm friends thanks to the work of Northampton Town FC's Community Trust.

Through the Tackling Loneliness Project, supported by the EFL Trust and DCMS, Bob Allen began reaching out to season ticket holders who might need support during the early days of the Coronavirus pandemic. Through such “befriending” calls, Bob struck up a conversation with 89 year old Michael Bull, who has followed the Cobblers since he was a teenager.

In this special episode we join them for a cup of tea, a chat about their story and hear some of Michael's tales from a fascinating life.
