Whistleblowers is football’s most original new podcast - lifting the lid on the parts of the game no one else talks about. Hosted by Gordon Smart, with ex-elite referee Mark Clattenburg and veteran journalist Ian Ladyman, this isn’t another safe roundtable of punditry. It’s football told differently - with insight, authority, and plenty of laughs. From what really goes on in the referee’s room, to how clubs spin crises and who’s pulling the strings behind the scenes - Whistleblowers brings the inside stories only those at the heart of the game can tell. Players have had their say. Now, it’s time to hear from the people who actually know how football works.


Hosts: Gordon Smart, Mark Clattenburg and Ian Ladyman

  • How far can the Host Nations go THIS time? | Whistleblowers at the World Cup
    Jul 3 2026

    Whistleblowers is in America! And Mark Clattenburg, Ian Ladyman, and Gordon Smart are lacing up their (cowboy) boots and putting on their Stetsons as they ask how far a sparkling looking USMNT can make it in their home World Cup, even if they are without their talismanic Falorin Balogun…


    Plus, we find out why Balogun should never have been sent off from our resident expert, while the boys lament yet another lacklustre Belgium performance, and even dip their toes into some Premier League news that has gone under the radar!

  • Is this the LAST Game England will win at the World Cup? | Whistleblowers at the World Cup
    Jul 1 2026

    Whistleblowers is in America! Before we’ve even had a chance to get our breath back, Ian Ladyman (live from the Atlanta stadium with Henry Winter sat behind him), Mark Clattenburg, and Gordon Smart take a look at another nervy England performance against the Democratic Republic of Congo…they’ve come through but at what cost? (England, we mean…)


    Mark takes us through why Harry Kane’s penalty shout was correctly ignored, while the boys discuss England’s dire straits in the back line and why their Round of 16 tie against Mexico will be their toughest game in years!
