  • Great, even-handed podcast

    A few audio glitches (squawking duck noises every few minutes) and a host who can’t pronounce the name of the coach doesn’t detract from an intelligent, well put together podcast that’s always worth listening to.

    Especially good because it’s rather serious in tone - there’s no stupid songs, no forced laughter. They talk about football. The two hosts really know the game, the team and Brad Arfur well. Really highly recommended.
