Bottom Half Calcio is a podcast dedicated to Serie A with a specific focus on the lower half of the table. While much of the coverage around Italian football centers on the top clubs, this podcast highlights the teams, tactics, and stories that shape relegation battles and define the broader league landscape.

This introductory episode outlines the vision and structure of the podcast. It explains the decision to focus on the bottom half of Serie A, the importance of tactical variety and competitive balance, and the goal of building an English-speaking community centered on discussion, analysis, and shared knowledge of Italian football.

The podcast approaches Serie A from a neutral perspective, offering balanced coverage across all clubs rather than focusing on a single team. Emphasis is placed on match context, tactical creativity, key moments, and the unpredictability that often defines the lower half of the league.

This episode serves as an introduction rather than a matchday review. Future episodes will include regular Serie A coverage, with a consistent emphasis on teams and narratives that receive less mainstream attention.

Bottom Half Calcio is built for listeners interested in a deeper understanding of Serie A beyond the title race.
