Jon Mackenzie Interview (2023): The Halcyon Show
9My interview with Football analyst, Writer, Podcaster and member of the all star cast of @Tifo and @TifoIRL the magnificent Mr Jon Mackenzie.
"You know him as a writer and presenter for TIFO and as a very serious football analyst indeed, but behind the stats and the whimsical jabs at both football and his own rapidly growing presence within the YT sphere, belies a man with a penchant for the perpetually perplexing, a compulsion towards the confounding, and a devotion to the details, as his career has spanned across multiple genres, platforms and roles, and all skew towards an understanding and mastery of the inner workings of the topics he covers, so lets dig a little deeper into the man himself. All hail the king of the Goblins, the voice of reason and calm in the mad hatter world of TIFO and an impossibly thoughtful and insightful man, please welcome Mr Jon Mackenzie."
