Football, with the volume up
The Wild Card is a Nairobi football podcast. Six voices, one table, and nobody gets to hide behind a badge.
How it started
The Wild Card started as a weekly FPL show with Venant and Eric Njiru. It grew quickly into Kenya's best-known football podcast.
Football fans argue loudest with the people they love most, so we put that argument on the record. A Manchester United fan sits across from Arsenal fans, there is a City fan who loves being the villain, and a Liverpool fan who has learned to survive. Every week there is a position on the table, and someone has to defend it.
The panel records on Monday and the episode drops on Tuesday, so the weekend's football is still warm when you hear it. This site keeps the conversation going in between: the day's top stories in our voice, both league tables, and the people behind the mics.

How the daily stories are made
The short stories on the homepage are written with the help of AI. It reads headlines and summaries from BBC Sport, Sky Sports, ESPN, The Athletic and Goal, and writes them up in the show's voice. It sticks to what those outlets reported, and every story links back to its sources. The "Wild Card take" line is written in the spirit of the show and is not a quote from the hosts.
