The latest episode of “Campus Talks”, featuring Justin Pugh, is available from today across digital platforms. Pugh, an offensive lineman, spent more than a decade competing at the highest level in the NFL with the New York Giants, Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers. With this episode, the first produced entirely in English, the podcast continues its growth journey, opening up to an even broader and global audience.

The English-language episodes are hosted by Ross Cook, Senior Technical Sponsorships Manager at Macron and former professional rugby player. During the conversation, Cook and Pugh discuss topics including leadership, mental preparation, team culture and the contribution American football can make to the development of sport in Italy.

“Campus Talks” was launched by Macron in February 2026 with the aim of promoting sport as a tool for connection and storytelling. The project forms part of the Italian brand’s broader strategy to build an international editorial and storytelling platform. The release of the first English-language episode marks a significant step in this journey, reflecting the outlook of a company that generates more than 80% of its turnover from global markets.

Editorial responsibility and technical production of the podcast are managed by the Macron Media House, the in-house structure dedicated to content development and support for the brand’s corporate communication. Recordings take place in the podcast studio at the Macron Campus, the company’s headquarters near Bologna, from which the project takes its name.

The new episode is available on Macron’s official YouTube channel and on the main audio streaming platforms: Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music.

Previous guests on Campus Talks include: Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of Macron; Elisabetta Canalis; Alino Diamanti; Nicola Rizzoli; Alessandra Neri; Gonzalo Quesada; and Lorenzo De Silvestri.
