Man Marking - Episode 5 - Carl Anka

Episode Five:

Therapy, a healthy work-life balance, and dealing with racism.  

On an overcast day at the beginning of March, when the lockdown was still some way off, Ant and Dan drove down to Southampton to interview Carl Anka. 

Carl currently works for The Athletic UK, as the reporter for Southampton FC. Carl has also written for The Guardian, Buzzfeed, The BBC, and Vice. 

We discussed Carl's background, his views on the reasons why men don't open up, his troubles with mental health, and navigating the murky world of racism. Carl's thoughts, his honesty, and his light-hearted approach to the topic made for an amazing few hours in Carl's delightful company.
