The TrustCast is an interview series hosted by the Swansea City Supporters' Trust. We aim to have compelling conversations with decision makers throughout the club, asking questions submitted by our members and the wider fanbase.  We were joined by co-owner and Director Jake Silverstein for our first episode. Jake talks about his background and experience as a sports club owner, his reflections on the past two years, and plans for the future of Swansea City. We also discussed the increasingly important topic of financial sustainability and the challenges around that, as well as the ups and downs of the transfer market, and the upcoming EFL TV deal negotiations.  We would love to hear your feedback on this episode and the format as a whole as we seek to deliver improved content for you.
