Episode 2 | Alex Bullions

Published on: 12th April, 2023

In the second episode of the Sporting Backbone Podcast, we chat to Alex Bullions, a digital media officer for the World Snooker Tour.

Alex gives us an insight into the recent protests that happened on the tour, and how he had to deal with it on social media. We discuss the backlash that their accounts can receive, how he copes, and in turn the best part about the job.

During his placement year he was also part of the media group for Cheltenham Town FC when they won promotion to league one, and we discuss the year's significance in terms of where he is now.

Behind every sporting team, is a group of support staff who provide the backbone on which success is built. Here, we celebrate those who aren’t on the pitch when trophies are lifted, and rarely leave the shadows to get the credit they deserve.
