A special interview episode! Nik Wildhagen sits down with author James Montague for an hour-long chat on Ultra culture.
This one's a break from the norm: A look at a form of football culture that transcends the Bundesliga (though it's a force there as well). James Montague comes on the show to talk about his book 1312: Among the Ultras: A journey with the world’s most extreme fans.
Nik and James talk through the origins of the Ultra movement, its political and social dimensions, and why it has spread across the globe. In Germany, Morocco, Argentina, Indonesia - just about anywhere the world's game is played - ultras are hugely influential in football and how we consume it.
