All of our World Cup episodes in one place. Creating this delightful set of conversations has been exhilarating. The kind of critical reflections and analysis you won't find elsewhere. Check out this thread👇🏽

I’m really proud of the work we have done so far in our coverage of the World Cup. So proud that I’m going to indulge in a thread (in reverse order) sharing our episodes, since I can’t imagine most people have been able to keep up.

A much-awaited conversation with @nihalist___ is out now! Essential listening
