  • Best podcast option for a Vale Fan

    Overall best option for a Vale fan who wants a podcast. I do think some episodes do ramble on and are way too long. Some of the “banter” isn’t that funny but these guys know their stuff and when there has been a lot going on at the club, they really debate it well.
