THE SHORT STORY
Across the Pond Sports Network began with a passion for North American sports and a microphone. Established in 2020 as a passion project in the vibrant city of Edinburgh, Scotland, our namesake podcast quickly gained traction among sports enthusiasts. Since then, we've evolved into a dynamic sports media company that spans continents, featuring shows that cover major league sports in North America and around the world. Our mission is to unite fans across continents, delivering high-quality, engaging, and informative sports content to audiences in the UK, Europe, and Canada.
THE LONG STORY
The story of Across the Pond Sports Network starts with James Scott, an ardent American sports aficionado in Scotland. His fascination began with the iconic Dream Team's gold medal victory at the 1992 Olympics, and his heart soon found a home with the Utah Jazz and Dallas Cowboys. An unforgettable baseball experience with the Oakland A's solidified the life-long love affair.
​
In the midst of the pandemic, inspiration struck. Why not create a podcast to share his passion with other American sports fans in Europe and around the world? What started as a single podcast soon snowballed into a network of shows that cover a wide range of sports, which continues to grow today.
​
In 2024, James stepped down from managing Across the Pond Sports Network and turned the reigns over to Tony Boston and Kayla Whitesel, who now manage the Network from their home in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
​
Outside of the podcast studio, we've been fortunate enough to attend events like NFL London, WNBA Canada, and All-Star games for various sports. Our journey has taken our team to IndyCar races in Nashville and Indianapolis, and hockey, baseball, and football games across North America and the UK.
​
Our team of dedicated podcast hosts eat, breath, and live for the sports they cover - and they bring that passion to our listeners in every episode.
