EPISODE 40: ”FROM PITCH TO SCREEN” Feat. MATT CARTER (IN FROM THE SIDE)
Welcome to Episode 40 of the Sheffield Vulcans Podcast.
This is a very special episode and we are honored to be joined by Matt Carter the director of the stunning feature film "IN FROM THE SIDE". In the episode we discuss why Rugby is important to the LGBTQIA+ community, the journey Matt took to make the movie, and what it is like to receive critical acclaim from those lucky enough to have seen it.
Here's the synopsis for IN FROM THE SIDE:
Following a drunken encounter, two equally attached men from a cash strapped and divided gay rugby club unwittingly sleepwalk into an adulterous affair but must conceal their growing feelings or risk destroying the club they love.

Welcome to Episode 39 of the Sheffield Vulcans Podcast.
In this episode Charlie, Innes and Nathan turn their focus away from Rugby Union to sit down and have a chat with Jay and Rosie from the Leicester Diamonds, an inclusive rugby club for ALL women and non-binary individuals.

Wanting to create something more than a sports team, Abi (Batts) Battisto and Ally (Sal) Clark created something more than a sports team. They created a safe space to bring together people from all backgrounds regardless of their age, size or expereince.
We're excited to share this episode with you so please sit back and tune in to hear Jay and Rosie talk about baseball, inclusion in sport and the importance of having a safe space to have fun, meet likeminded people and having a good time!
