This week Unofficial Partner and The Marketing Society talked to Henry Chappell at Pitch Marketing Group's Soho office overlooking the NCP Car Park on Brewer Street, which is now above a posh boutique but used to be a really good vintage magazine shop. The conversation is wide ranging, running from his time at IMG and then Freuds, before he launched Pitch in 2002 with help from then shareholder Matthew Freud. What we wanted to know is what twenty years in the agency world has taught him about how sport works, now and in the future. And that night in a Turkish prison.

E32: Henry Chappell - Pitch Marketing Group

Novelist, Essayist and Journalist, Henry Chappell, will be our guest.

Episode 153-Henry Chappell

On July 8, 1860, Dallas, Texas burned. Three slaves were accused of arson and hanged without a trial. Today, most historians attribute the fire to carelessness.Texas was the darkest corner of the Old South, too remote and violent for even the bravest abolitionists. Yet North Texas newspapers commonly reported runaway slaves, and travelers in South Texas wrote of fugitives heading to Mexico.Perhaps a few prominent people were all too happy to call the fire an accident."Silent We Stood" weaves the tale of a small band of abolitionists working in secrecy within Dallas’s close-knit society. There’s Joseph Shaw, an undertaker and underground railroad veteran with a shameful secret; Ig Bodeker, a charismatic, melancholic preacher; Rachel Bodeker, a fierce abolitionist, Ig’s wife, and Joseph Shaw’s lover; Rebekah, a freed slave who’ll sacrifice everything for the cause; Samuel Smith, a crypto-freedman whose love for Rebekah exacts a terrible cost; and, towering above them all, a near-mythical one-armed runaway who haunts area slavers and brings hope to those dreaming of freedom.With war looming and lives hanging in the balance, ideals must be weighed against friendship and love, and brutal decisions yield secrets that must be taken to the grave.
