Gary Neville's The Overlap Goes Daily

40 minutes ago

The football media brand is going daily with Overlap Daily, launching Friday, October 9, with new episodes every weekday at 4 p. ET - on YouTube, Global Player and podcast platforms.

For anyone looking for something beyond the usual American soccer studio shows, there is now a lot more of it to consume. That makes this a particularly good time to discover the wider soccer media world built around The Overlap.

The new weekday show brings together a remarkably deep bench of former Premier League stars and familiar football-media personalities. Steven Gerrard will host Mondays alongside Becky Ives, while Joe Hart, Ashley Young and Kelly Cates take Tuesdays.

Jamie Redknapp and Tim Sherwood are paired for Wednesdays, with Duncan Ferguson and former goalkeeper Mark Crossley on Thursdays. Fridays will feature Mark Goldbridge alongside Jamie Carragher, Joe Hart and Peter Schmeichel.

The launch episode on October 9 is particularly loaded, with Goldbridge joined by Neville and Carragher. The idea is straightforward: instead of waiting for the next weekly episode to discuss a major story, The Overlap can now react while the story is still fresh.

Neville said the decision came after the team realized they had gone several days without a program after a major managerial sacking - and decided they needed to be around every day. The existing Stick to Football is a good example, with Neville, Carragher, Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Jill Scott regularly offering a mix of analysis, stories and plenty of disagreement.

Recent episodes have tackled everything from Manchester City's financial case to Manchester United's problems and the latest Premier League controversies. That is also where The Overlap differs from some traditional soccer coverage.

These aren't former players simply appearing for five minutes to give a television soundbite. The format gives them room to talk, disagree and occasionally tell stories that would never make it into a conventional postgame interview.

If you like the Premier League but don't already have The Overlap somewhere in your podcast or YouTube rotation, it's worth finding out what you've been missing. The Overlap Is More Than A Show Overlap Daily is actually the latest piece of a much bigger operation.
