Mundial - the role of football magazines in a digital age with co-founder Owen Blackhurst

For many football fans who look back on the 90s with fond memories, Mundial magazine is somewhat of a bible. For those who work in the print industry, it is a blueprint. A beautiful magazine with well-told stories and an example of an incredibly high watermark of modern journalism.
On this episode of The Footballco Business Podcast Alex speaks to one of the men behind the magazine, Owen Blackhurst, co-founder of the award-winning publication.
Owen talks about the challenges of not only turning to print when the rest of the world was going digital but also about keeping the magazine going during the Covid crisis, his favourite cover stars and the future of Mundial as a publication.
