- Steve schools Dana!
Wonderful interview with Dana White. You absolutely played him. It was sterling stuff. Exposing his noise and SuperBowl style loudmouth b***it then hitting him with the bolo punch (“dana, i’ve heard you don’t like football - sorry, soccer - do you?”) was beautifully timed. That comment alone will have lost him30% of his audience. Eddie and Frank owe you a pint. As does everyone else. Elite stuff!

Used to really enjoy this however the interviews remind me of a an American talk show , there are no probing questions just an opportunity for the guest to give what they are plugging . Come on Steve you are Fleet St trained !
Apple Podcasts3Unkle BenUnited Kingdom6 months ago - Room for improvement
I generally like this podcast, have listened for years, since Costello first started it.
Has unrivalled guests and access to all the big fights.

It’s really frustrating and distracting. Or the Froch episode, where Steve then seems to use every Froch answer as an opportunity to show off his ability t... more

Used to be better when it had more structure. I love buncey but he interrupts people too much these days and it’s hard to listen to. The recent episode “interviewing” a clearly battered Carl Froch was a particular low point. Hope it gets back to previous glories!
