BBC 3 | Between the Ears: And the Crowd Roars

Producer: Mark Burman, BBC Radio 3 , September 24, 2023

'Where's your famous atmosphere?!'

 

At the heart of any football match is the crowd. Without it, the beautiful game is meaningless. The deathly silence of Covid reminded everyone of the crowd's power and place. Across a tumultuous last season at Arsenal, Mark Burman recorded from his beloved North Bank & travelled to hear the roar of Borussia Dortmund's legendary Yellow Wall. Former Ultra & artist Marcin Dudek summons the sonic demons of his days fighting and shouting in the concrete bowl of Cracovia in Poland.

 

With the voices of Wayne Busbridge, Marcin Dudek, David Goldblatt, Uli Hesse, Tom Jones, Chrissie Langton, Allan Mabert, Clive Palmer & 60,000 Gooners. Recorded in ambisonic & binaural so best heard with your headphones on.
